ICT Mumbai opens sustainable textile lab with Archroma

The Institute of Chemical Technology (ICT), Mumbai, has opened its newly renovated sustainable textile laboratory, upgraded with support from Archroma India Pvt. Ltd. under its CSR initiative. The inauguration was attended by Hon’ble Vice-Chancellor Prof. Aniruddha Pandit, senior professors such as Prof. Mangesh Teli, and members of Archroma’s senior management.

The modernised facility greatly enhances ICT’s ability to carry out core research and develop future-ready technologies in textile processing, manufacturing and effluent treatment. As the textile sector faces growing environmental and operational challenges, the upgraded lab is expected to play an important role in driving innovation in sustainable and resource-efficient textile solutions.

Through this CSR support, students will benefit from improved infrastructure for hands-on learning and scientific discovery. The enhanced setup helps prepare future professionals with the skills and practical exposure needed to meet the industry’s changing demands, especially at a time when only a few institutes continue to offer such specialised expertise in textiles.

The lab will also extend its influence beyond academic work by contributing to community-focused programmes. It will provide training for small entrepreneurs, artisans and local participants in eco-friendly and value-added processes, supporting wider sustainable development goals.
