INTRODUCTION
The Department of Scientific & Industrial Research (DSIR) under its Plan Scheme
‘Programme Aimed at Technological Self Reliance’ [PATSER] is promoting Industry’s efforts
in development and demonstration of indigenous technologies, development of capital goods
and absorption of imported technologies. The PATSER Scheme has the following objectives.
i)
Supporting industry for technology absorption, development and demonstration.
ii) Building indigenous capabilities for development and commercialization of contemporary
products and processes of high impact.
iii) Involvement of national research organisations in joint projects with industry.
Towards achieving the above objectives, the Department provides, on a selective basis,
partial financial support to research, development, design, engineering (RDDE) projects to
be proposed by Industry, in the following area:
a) Development and demonstration of new or improved product and process technologies
including those for specialised capital goods, for both domestic and export markets.
b) Absorption and Upgradation of imported technology.
The partial financial support by DSIR in the above areas primarily covers prototype
development and pilot plant work, test and evaluation of products flowing from such R&D,
user trials etc.
Bulk of the financial support to the projects is to be from Industry’s resources. The
financial support from DSIR is mainly to meet part of the development expenditures for:
-
Raw materials, components and other development expenditures for making prototypes or
building up of pilot plant and experimentation thereon, for upscaling or optimization of
processes.
-
Product/process simulation/know-why studies
-
Consumables and other operational costs involved in experimental work
-
Testing and evaluation, field trials/users trials
-
Constancy/technical assistance from National R&D Organisations and Institutions.
These RDDE projects should be aimed at improvement or complete development of a
product or a process and development of capital goods, having good demands. The projects
should results in significant benefits in terms of raising the technological level of the industry
concerned, high turnover, energy and material savings/recovery and foreign exchange savings
or earnings etc.
Proposals for RDDE projects such as the following are considered for partial financial
support :-
Projects undertaken solely by in-house R&D Units of industrial firms.
-
Projects undertaken jointly by Industry and National R&D Organisations and Institutions.
-
Collaborative projects of common interest to the concerned sector/area, proposed by a
group of industries/users, National Research Organisations etc.
So far, over 110 projects of Industrial units, both in public and private sector, have been
supported by the Department involving DSIR’s share of about Rs. 45 crores in the total project
costs of around Rs.150 crores. These projects cover products and processes in various
important industries such as metallurgy, electricals, electronics, instrumentation, mechanical
engineering, earth moving and industrial machinery, chemicals and explosives.
2. DSIR’S SUPPORT TO RDDE PROJECTS
The details of the activities and other aspects of PATSER are as follows:
2.1 DEVELOPMENT AND DEMONSTRATION OF TECHNOLOGY
The aim of its activity is to provide support for development and demonstration of new
or improved technologies in various sectors.
Proposals from industry to take up projects for partial support could be considered for
demonstration of new technologies or improvement in existing technologies in important
sectors/areas. The projects should result in substantial techno-economic benefits and should
lead to high turnovers or large savings in materials/energy, wide spread consumption of the
product demonstrated, or large scale diffusion and utilisation of demonstrated technologies.
Development of technology at an appropriate level before demonstration, wherever needed as a
part of the above proposals, will also be considered.
Proposals could relate to:
-
Development and demonstration of new and improved technologies particularly those
at prototype / pilot plant level.
-
Development and demonstration of technological improvements on existing products
and processes.
2.2 PROMOTION & SUPPORT TO INDIGENOUS DEVELOPMENT OF CAPITAL
GOODS
Partial financial support towards promoting indigenous development and upgradation of
capital goods both for indigenous use and exports, can be considered. Partial financial support
is provided to R&D projects for capital goods manufacturing and user industries such as, for
development of tailor made equipments or capital goods resulting in import substitution/exports
and having a good demand.
Support can also be considered to R&D and academic institutions, in providing R&D,
design engineering and testing support for development of capital goods.
2.3 TECHNOLOGY ABSORPTION & UPGRADATION
Towards catalysing and accelerating industry’s efforts in absorption and upgradation of
imported technology, partial financial support is provided to industry for undertaking research,
development, design and engineering (RDDE) projects for absorption and upgradation of
imported technology. These proposals could be made by industrial units after or concurrently
with implementation and commercialisation of their foreign collaboration concerned with the
proposed project.
The RDDE activities in the projects for technology absorption and upgradation, inter-alia,
may include know-why/computer simulation and mathematical modeling studies, product or
process optimization and improvement, energy saving, productivity and yield improvement etc.
3. WHO CAN MAKE A PROPOSAL
The proposal in the areas of Technology development and demonstration, Indigenous
development of Capital Goods and Technology absorption, projects can be made by industrial
units or jointly with national research organisations. If the projects involve collaboration with
assistance from national research organisations, the proposals should be made after consulation
with identified research laboratories and should highlight the scope of work and responsibilities
of each establishment participating in the project.
The guiding format for making the project proposals for ‘Technology Development and
Demonstration’, Development of Capital Goods’ and Technology Absorption &
Upgradation’ are given at Annexure I, Annexure II & Annexure III respectively.
Proposals in the above area are invited from industrial firms having well established Inhouse R&D units with a good track records of R&D achievements, for seeking financial
support to undertake RDDE Projects. Preference will be given to proposals from In-house
R&D units of industry recognised by DSIR. Specified goods imported for use in R&D projects
supported under PATSER and undertaken by In-house R&D units of Industry recognised by
DSIR, will be exempted from customs duty based on certification by DSIR as per Notification
No. 50/96 Customs dated 23 July, 1996.
These proposals should be forwarded by the Chief Executive/Director (Technical)/Director
(R&D) of the industrial units/collaborating agencies.
