Indus Operation Division is a division under Electron Accelerator Group, RRCAT. It is mainly responsible for managing round-the-clock operation of Indus facility https://www.rrcat.gov.in/technology/accel/isrf_index.html.

This is a national facility comprising of Synchrotron Radiation Sources (SRS) Indus-1 https://www.rrcat.gov.in/technology/accel/indus/index.html & Indus-2 https://www.rrcat.gov.in/technology/accel/indus2.html along with its injector system.

Indus facility is operated by licensed crew members pooled from various divisions across Groups. The other major activities of the division are (a) Precision alignment of magnets and other accelerator components (b) Development, installation and maintenance of Radiation Safety Systems for Indus Acclerators (c) Managing Health Physics activities of Indus acclerators and other laboratories of RRCAT (d) Training qualification and Licensing of Indus operation staff (e) Upkeep and maintenance of pneumatic system of Indus complex (f) Building management and services activities of Indus complex.
