The Indian Institute of Technology Bombay (IIT B), a leading public research university and technical institute, has entered into a collaborative agreement with telecom infrastructure firm Indus Towers focused on advancing research in sustainable energy. This partnership will primarily target solar power generation and energy storage solutions.

The first initiative centres on the development of perovskite solar cell technology, which has the potential to address the limitations associated with conventional silicon photovoltaic (PV) cells. Researchers aim to achieve higher efficiency in solar energy conversion without incurring additional costs, making this technology applicable for both terrestrial and space-based solar applications.
