Over the years, the Institute developed expertise in the areas like natural products chemistry, drugs and drug intermediates, agro-technologies, petrochemicals, crude-oil transportations, paper and paper products, beneficiation chemicals, Bioremediation, ecology and environmental studies, geotechnical investigations, foundation design engineering, soil investigations and building materials. Since inception, the Institute has generated more than 117 technologies, of which about 60% were commercial successes. Not only the North-Eastern Region, but also the entire country reaped the benefit of the technologies generated at CSIR-NEIST. The technologies not only contributed towards productivity, but also ensured better use of local resources, employment generation, up-gradation of artisan skills and improvement in the quality of life. The users of these technologies include industrial concerns, first generation entrepreneurs, farmers, artisans, co-operative societies, voluntary organizations, rural communities and government agencies.
