“TDB-DST Supports M/s Puretronics India
Private Limited, Mumbai for Commercialization
of India’s First Contactless Programmable Load
Measurement System”
प्रव तथ: 30 JUN 2026 4:05PM by PIB Delhi
Bridging a critical technology gap in India's industrial automation ecosystem, the Technology
Development Board (TDB), under the Department of Science & Technology (DST), Government of India,
has extended financial assistance to M/s Puretronics India Private Limited, Mumbai, for the project titled
“LMO – Load Measurement Overload Sensor (India’s First Fully Contactless Programmable Load
Measurement System).”
The project seeks to commercialize an indigenous next-generation load sensing technology designed for
elevators, material handling systems, cable machinery, industrial automation, and other safety-critical
applications. Developed specifically to address the limitations of conventional strain-gauge load cells and
imported sensing solutions, the technology delivers accurate, maintenance-friendly, and vibration-resistant
load monitoring, thereby strengthening India's capabilities in advanced industrial electronics while
supporting the vision of Aatmanirbhar Bharat.
The project will establish manufacturing capabilities for the commercialization of the LMO (Load
Magnetic Overload Sensor), which replaces conventional mechanical stress-based sensing with an
innovative non-contact magnetic measurement principle. By integrating high-resolution magnetic sensing,
advanced digital signal processing, and programmable embedded electronics, the system provides precise
load measurement with minimal calibration requirements and seamless integration with PLC, SCADA,
and IoT-based industrial automation platforms.
Designed and developed entirely in India, the LMO platform offers application-specific customization,
simplified installation, and superior resistance to vibration and harsh industrial environments. The
technology is expected to strengthen indigenous capabilities in advanced industrial sensors, support import
substitution, and provide Indian manufacturers with a cost-effective and reliable solution for critical
applications across elevators, cranes, hoists, and material handling systems.Speaking on the occasion, Shri Rajesh Kumar Pathak, Secretary, TDB, stated, "Advanced sensor
technologies form the backbone of modern industrial automation and smart manufacturing. Indigenous
innovations such as the LMO Load Measurement System demonstrate India's growing capability to
develop globally competitive industrial technologies tailored to domestic requirements. TDB remains
committed to supporting such innovations that enhance industrial safety, strengthen manufacturing
competitiveness, and contribute to the vision of Aatmanirbhar Bharat."
Expressing gratitude for TDB's support, the leadership of Puretronics India Private Limited stated that the
financial assistance will enable the company to establish commercial-scale manufacturing, accelerate
market adoption of its indigenous contactless load sensing technology, and position India as a competitive
developer and manufacturer of advanced industrial sensing solutions for both domestic and international
markets.
