Forging Metallurgy. Powering Green Steel.
Bridging 480+ scientists, Eastern India's steel heartland, and zero-carbon materials innovation.
"Odisha produces over half of India’s iron ore and bauxite. As we transition towards green hydrogen direct-reduction and circular slag utilisation, the IIM Bhubaneswar Chapter serves as the intellectual crucible transforming resource abundance into sustainable technological sovereignty."
Dr. Ashok Kumar Mohanty, FIE, FIIM
Chairman, IIM Bhubaneswar Chapter • Chief Scientist (Retd.), CSIR-IMMT
