DRDO Signs First Deep-Tech Pact with Zero mK India for Indigenous Dilution Refrigerator
The project aims to strengthen India’s quantum and cryogenic capabilities and reduce dependence on imported infrastructure, the Ministry of Defence said.
- On Thursday, the Defence Research and Development Organisation signed its first high-value Technology Development Fund agreement with Zero mK India Private Limited to indigenously develop a 20 mK dilution refrigerator for quantum applications.
- This collaboration aims to strengthen India's capabilities in quantum technology and advanced cryogenics while reducing the nation's reliance on imported cryogenic infrastructure for essential research.
- The agreement utilizes a ₹500 crore corpus approved by Defence Minister Rajnath Singh for cutting-edge projects, with the signing ceremony held in New Delhi involving representatives from Alwar, Rajasthan-based Zero mK India.
- Defence Secretary and Chairman of DRDO Rajesh Kumar Singh congratulated the initiative, which is being mentored by the Solid State Physics Laboratory and sets a precedent for future industry collaborations in emerging technology.
- The project aligns with the National Quantum Mission to build a self-reliant, quantum-ready ecosystem by enabling reliable operation of quantum computing platforms requiring near-absolute-zero conditions.
