The Indian Institute of Technology Patna (IIT) has entered into a Memorandum of Agreement (MoA) with the Satluj Jal Vidyut Nigam Limited (SJVN), a distinguished Mini Ratna, Category-I, and Schedule ‘A’ Central Public Sector Enterprise (CPSE) operating under the Ministry of Power, Government of India. This strategic partnership between SJVN and IIT Patna underscores their joint commitment to fostering sustainable development and technological innovation.

Prof. T.N.Singh, Director, IIT Patna signed the MoA on behalf of IIT Patna and A.K. Singh, Director (Finance) signed on behalf of SJVNL at the Corporate Office, New Delhi. During the MoA signing ceremony, key figures such as R.K Gupta, CGM (Civil), Jitender Yadav, GM (Finance), Hemant Kumar Shaklya, GM (Civil), and Akshay Acharya, GM (Geology) from SJVN, along with Professor A K Verma from IIT Patna, were present. 

This MoA outlines the intention to engage IIT Patna as a consultant to conduct the Research & Development project named “Advanced Geological Models for Rock Identification in Tunneling Projects” for SJVN, based on mutually agreed-upon terms and conditions. SJVN is on a strategic path to expand its capacity to 25,000 MW by 2030 and aims to double this milestone, reaching 50,000 MW by 2040.

This MoA aims to achieve the following objectives: 

• IIT Patna is set to devise methods for combining various geo-technical data sources such as geological surveys, borehole data, geophysical measurements, and historical project monitoring data at the SJVN site
• Identify and analyse potential risks and hazards using integrated geotechnical data and 3D geological models
• Evaluate the relationship between overburden and deformation to enhance support system evaluation and design
• To reduce the hazard, time and cost of the project which will make the project more viable and sustainable
