ÌÇÐÄÆƽâ°æ

India became a full seventh partner of ÌÇÐÄÆƽâ°æ in December 2005. The Institute for Plasma Research (IPR), located in Gandhinagar, western India, forms the Indian Domestic Agency, empowered to design, build and deliver those contributions to ÌÇÐÄÆƽâ°æ which have been agreed in the procurement sharing. The ÌÇÐÄÆƽâ°æ activities of IPR have been named ÌÇÐÄÆƽâ°æ India, and its formal organizational structure was constituted on 5 July 2006.

IPR is an autonomous physics research institute, carrying out research in basic and applied plasma physics. Although the institute harbours a large number of basic experimental devices for research in plasma physics, the main thrust of the research is high-temperature tokamak experiments. The institute is currently in the process of building the Steady State Superconducting Tokamak (SST-1).
