Mission for Advancement in High-Impact Areas [MAHA] : EV-Mission [Last Date: 25th Nov 2024]

Mission for Advancement in High-impact Areas (MAHA) program of ANRF addresses priority-driven, solution-focused research in mission-mode that would catalyse multi-institutional, multi-disciplinary and multi-investigator collaboration to address scientific challenges and advance the frontiers of technology in key scientific areas. ANRF has identified Electric Vehicle (EV) Mobility as the first priority area of focus under MAHA program. 

The proposals in consortia mode are invited under EV mission for establishing Electric Mobility Nodes (e-Nodes) in the country. An e-Node should be focused on at least one of the specified technology verticals. Each e-Node in a specific technology vertical will consist of about 3-4 academic institutions/R&D laboratories with provision for inclusion of startups/PSU/industry partners working in the respective domain. The Lead Principal Investigator (LPI) and PIs of these institutions will form an e-Node aligned with technology verticals and the e-Node will be located in the lead institution. The LPI will serve as the primary point of contact for coordination and cooperation among the other Principal Investigators (PIs) within each e-Node. 

Proposers are requested to read through the following two documents from DST https://dst.gov.in/sites/default/files/Approved%20Version%20%20Catalysing%20Technology%20led%20ecosystem%20for%20e-Mobility-2.pdf , "www.dst.gov.in" and PSA Office
