About Research & Development Establishment (Engrs):
Research & Development Establishment (Engineers), Pune traces its origin to the Inspectorate of Engineer Stores set up at Kolkata during World War II for exercising quality control on stores of indigenous origin and to provide guidance to manufacturers producing items used by the Services.
With the expansion of activities of DRDO, need for a separate establishment for design and development of equipment for the Corps of Engineers was felt and R&DE(Engrs) was established. The Establishment’s primary role was the development of mobility and counter mobility equipment for the Corps of Engineers. The lab has provided self sufficiency in indigenous development of Combat Engineering Equipment.
