“Rs 500 crore have been either spent or committed by IIT Delhi to establish various high-end facilities at the CRF. The main sources of funding include the IoE grant, special MoE grant, IIT Delhi grant through Industrial Research and Development, DST’s Sophisticated Analytical and Technical Help Institutes (SATHI) project, HEFA loan etc,” IIT Delhi Director V Ramgopal rao said on Tuesday, while announcing the platform.

“Today, we have over 50 different facilities, owned and/or adopted by the CRF, which are already available to the users. This number is likely to get doubled in the next two years....” Prof Rao added.

The Central Research Facility at IIT Delhi was established in 2011 in an effort to improve the institute's research ecosystem. “Since 2017, the CRF facilities have been significantly augmented with several state-of-the-art high-end experimental facilities. These have so far been catering to the needs of researchers from various departments and disciplines across the Institute,” the institute said.

In 2017, a new CRF building was completed at IIT Delhi's Sonipat extension campus. Sonipat is also constructing a new structure with a significantly greater footprint, which will be completed by March 2022, according to the institute.

“Some of the most modern equipment like Physical Property Measurement System, X-Ray Photoemission Spectrometer, High-Resolution Transmission Electron Microscope, Molecular Beam Epitaxy, Universal Testing Machine, Electron Paramagnetic Resonance etc. are now housed in Sonipat and many more have been planned for the upcoming second building,” as per Prof Pankaj Srivastava, Head, Central Research Facility, IIT Delhi.
