- The Defence Research and Development Organisation (DRDO) has achieved a remarkable advancement by developing a high-pressure nanoporous multilayered polymeric membrane for seawater desalination. This initiative, led by the Defence Materials Stores Research and Development Establishment (DMSRDE) in Kanpur, aligns with the Aatmanirbhar Bharat initiative, highlighting India’s commitment to self-reliance. Specifically engineered for the Indian Coast Guard (ICG), this innovative membrane resists the corrosive effects of chloride ions in seawater and will be utilized on Offshore Patrol Vessels (OPVs) to ensure a reliable supply of freshwater onboard. This desalination technology transforms seawater into safe, usable water, reinforcing national security while promoting environmental sustainability and resource independence.
