Four months ago we filed for patents and now we are talking to some companies for commercialising the technology,” he said. Speaking about the innovation in powering homes with 48V uninterrupted DC power, Prof. Ramamurthi said that after making success in trials at Madurantakam (Tamil Nadu), Hyderabad (Andhra Pradesh) their innovation is now put to big trial in Sasaram (Bihar) to power one lakh homes and provide electricity in 5,000 homes in Lakhimpur (Assam).
