NRDC, RINL renew agreement on value-added services
This comprehensive support aims to enhance RINL's capabilities in protecting, evaluating, and monetising its in-house innovations. This renewed partnership reinforces the shared commitment towards fostering innovation, promoting indigenous technologies, and advancing the national goal of self-reliance in steel manufacturing, according to a statement issued by NRDC, Visakhapatnam.
Over the past five years, under the previous agreement, NRDC facilitated IP services that enabled RINL to file and secure the grant of 12 patents for in-house developed technologies in steel manufacturing, significantly contributing to Atmanirbhar Bharat. The new addendum to the MoA marks a continued journey of technological excellence and strategic IP management.
RINL's R&D Centre, which serves as the nodal agency for IPR activities within the organisation, plays a pivotal role in coordinating innovation-led initiatives and aligning them with strategic industrial goals.
The addendum to the MoA was exchanged in the presence of senior officials from both organisations. From RINL, Ranjan Mohanty, CGM (Works) I/c, Ruchira Gupta, head of R&D Centre, and T. Goutham, GM (Iron and Technology), and representing NRDC were B.K. Sahu, head (Outreach), and Bhavya, NRDC-Visakhapatnam participated in the proceedings, the release added.

The deployment of the CNPN will enable secure, ultra-reliable, and high-speed connectivity within the refinery premises, allowing NRL to integrate cutting-edge technologies. BSNL chairman cum managing director Robert J Ravi said the partnership exemplifies the telco's commitment to empowering India's strategic sectors with next-generation digital infrastructure.
