About CSIR-CECRI
CSIR-Central Electrochemical Research Institute (CECRI), a global R&D platform for innovation in electrochemical science and technology, took roots in the patriotic fervour of Dr. RM. Alagappa Chettiar, Pandit Jawaharlal Nehru and Dr. Shanthi Swarup Bhatnagar in July 1948. At present, the institute is the largest research establishment for electrochemistry in South Asia. Headquartered at Karaikudi in the Sivaganga district of Tamil Nadu, CSIR-CECRI has extension centers in Chennai, Mandapam and Tuticorin. It is a publicly funded organization which strives for scientific excellence and societal benefits. CSIR-CECRI is a recipient of several technology awards for its telling service to both Indian and Global industries. This R&D center for electrochemical science and technology through sustained and dedicated efforts focuses on corrosion science and engineering, energy conversion and storage, functional materials, electrochemical materials science, electrochemical pollution control, fundamental electrochemistry, electro-metallurgy, industrial metal finishing, bio-electrochemical synthesis and electrosynthesis. It serves as a launching pad for a multitude of technologies for the Indian electrochemical industry.
