In 1991, Swiss Agency for Development and Cooperation (SDC) established a program to support developing countries in
protecting the global environment. In collaboration with The Energy and Resources Institute (TERI), New Delhi, SDC
India selected the foundry industry as one of the prominent areas in which to introduce environment-friendly technologies.
In this paper, we focus on the process by which the SDC–TERI partnership developed and demonstrated an energy-efficient
divided-blast cupola (DBC) and a highly effective pollution control device. We also discuss the measures taken to aid
replication of these technologies, and to improve the socio-economic conditions of foundry workers.
