The international Centre for Automotive Technology (iCAT), Manesar in the Northern region is a division of NATIS (NATRiP Implementation Society), an independent registered society and an Apex body for implementation of National Automotive Testing and R& D Infrastructure Project (NATRiP), Govt. of India.


On June 4, 2010, India's Union Minister of Heavy Industries and Public Enterprises liad the foundation stone of a new campus of iCAT at Manesar, Near Gurgaon, Haryana. This new campus with an investment of Rs. 500 crore will be providing state of art testing, validation and R & D facilities to the automotive industry in the northern hub. The tracks for homologation and testing laboratories in new technology areas of Noise, Vibration & Harshness (NVH), EMC and Passive Safety will be a boon for both automotive OEMs as well as component manufacturers. iCAT is also being developed as a “Centre of Excellence” for component development and NVH. This is a great step in bringing India closer to the cherished dream of becoming the hub of small car manufacturing in the world and as a leading global auto component manufacturer.
The new facilities at the Manesar II campus would include a power-train laboratory, engine dynamometers, emission laboratory with Euro V capability, a fatigue laboratory, passive safety laboratory, and vehicle test tracks. iCAT is now fully operational with complete homologations handled for many domestic OEs as well as component manufacturers.

The Automotive Mission Plan: The Automotive Mission Plan (AMP) was launched by the Prime Minister in 2006. NATRiP is the key instrument in achieving targets in the AMP. Currently National Automotive Testing and R&D Infrastructure Project (NATRiP) is on fast-track to set up five green field centres at Manesar, Chennai, Indore, Silchar, Rae Bareilly and Upgradation of two existing centres at ARAI Pune and VRDE Ahmednagar.
