Mumbai: The Indian Institute of Technology (IIT) Bombay showcased a range of advanced technologies aimed at addressing challenges in education, artificial intelligence, clean energy, mineral exploration and infrastructure at Bharat Innovates 2026, an innovation exhibition supported by the Ministry of Education, Government of India, and Nice, France.

Energy Technologies

Among the innovations presented was the Technology Advancement in Next-generation Devices of Energy Materials (TANDEM) project, which developed high-efficiency tandem solar cells with potential applications on Earth and in space. IIT Bombay also showcased its Solid State Transformer platform, designed to improve energy efficiency and support emerging sectors such as AI data centres, renewable energy systems, battery storage and electric mobility.

The institute demonstrated DhatuVerse, an AI-powered geostatistical platform developed to transform mineral exploration. By integrating geological, geophysical, geochemical, borehole, LiDAR and geospatial data into three-dimensional subsurface models, the platform enabled more accurate resource discovery, reduced exploration risks and accelerated the identification of critical mineral deposits.
