Triveni Turbine Limited has inaugurated the Triveni Turbines Centre of Excellence at the Indian Institute of Science (IISc) in Bengaluru to advance research in turbomachinery and energy transition technologies. The initiative is aimed at developing high-efficiency systems that can support industrial energy optimisation and reduce carbon emissions. The inauguration took place on 21 November 2025.
The Centre builds on a long-standing collaboration between Triveni and IISc that includes earlier work on CO₂ heat pump systems. It has been set up alongside the Dhruv Manmohan Sawhney Turbomachinery Chair, which will fund research in thermal energy, sustainable systems and next-generation turbomachinery. The facility is equipped with testing and research infrastructure intended to support work on performance optimisation, materials innovation and sustainable design.
“At Triveni Turbines, we believe the future of industrial progress lies in collaborative innovation. The Triveni Turbines Centre of Excellence at IISc will serve as a catalyst for pioneering research in turbomachinery and sustainable energy technologies, while also nurturing the next generation of engineering talent,” said Dhruv M. Sawhney, Chairman and Managing Director, Triveni Turbine Limited. “We are delighted to extend our ongoing partnership with Triveni Turbine Limited to establish this new Centre of Excellence and Chair Professorship, both of which will foster cutting-edge research on turbomachinery and sustainable technologies,” said G. Rangarajan, Director, IISc.
Triveni operates manufacturing facilities in Bengaluru and supplies industrial steam turbines for sectors including biomass, co-generation, waste-to-energy, waste heat recovery and district heating. Its turbines are installed across more than 20 industries and over 80 countries.
