NIT-Rourkela patents green tech to revive black terracotta craft
Orissa POST
|November 18, 2025
Researchers from National Institute of Technology (NIT), Rourkela have patented an eco-friendly method to produce black terracotta wares, according to officials.
The research team, led by Swadesh Kumar Pratihar, Professor of Ceramic Engineering, along with Shiv Kumar Verma, senior technical assistant, and Rupesh Mandal, a research graduate from NIT-Rourkela, has developed the process, which merges traditional artisan knowledge with modern technology to produce black terracotta sustainably.
The word terracotta comes from Italian and means “baked earth”. In India, it has been extensively used for kitchenware, temple sculptures, and roofing tiles. The most common variety is red terracotta, made by firing clay in the presence of air.
