Haryana State Industrial & Infrastructure Development Corporation (HSIIDC) erstwhile HSIDC had established Instruments Design Development & Facilities Centre (IDDC) Ambala under assistance of United Nation Development Programme (UNDP) in the year 1982. The mandate of IDDC was to provide wide range of facilities like Prototype Development, Consultancy, Manpower Training, Testing & Calibration etc. to around 400 electronic and scientific instrument units of Ambala region and as also to other industrial units of state of Haryana & neighboring states. IDDC centre has been instrumental in growth of Industry of region in general and that of Ambala in particular.
The industry was supported in Design & Development, Test & Calibration, prototype development, fabrication, job works, industry oriented human resource development etc. in fields of electronics, electrical, mechanical, optics and electroplating.
Almost every industrial unit / house of Ambala has been served by IDDC one way or another. Besides this, industry of Himachal, Punjab, NCR Delhi, Dehradun region, partly of J&K has also been served by IDDC-Hartron Ambala centre.
More than 150 projects were designed & developed for industry by IDDC since its inception.
IDDC received National level “National Research Development Corporation (NRDC)” awards of Ministry of Science & Technology, GoI for –
=> Wide Field Unit Magnification Telescope (Guidoescope) in year 1991.
=> Educational Robot in 1988.


Technical Training:-
IDDC since its establishment has been conducting training programs of various ministries and Departments of Govt. of India/ State Govt. The said training programs caters to the need of the of the industry of the nearby region in various technical fields as well as motivate the trainees for setting up of their own industry especially in the field of electronic, electrical, opto mechanical etc. Presently we are conducting training courses for retiring/retired JCOs/Ors and their equivalent in IN and IAF defence personals sponsored by Directorate General of Resettlement (DGR) a nodal agency under Directorate of Ex-Servicemen Welfare, Ministry of Defence GoI in various batches of 35-40 candidates in each batch.

It is further to add that the said courses for DGR have been successfully conducted by IDDC-Hartron since 03 decades to their entire satisfaction following their guidelines/instructions and meeting all their requirements. Presently around 12 to 14 batches of defence personals are being imparted training at our IDDC centre annually in different streams.

The centre is also conducting training course – Capacity building in Information Technology for SC candidates.


Test & Calibration & Optics:-
The Ambala Centre of Hartron namely Instrument Design Development & Facilities Centre (IDDC) is having Test & Calibration facilities since its inception in early 1980s. The testing facility is for finished products while calibration is of measuring instruments for manufacturing of products/processes. The industry of Ambala and nearby region has been utilizing the facility of the test & calibration lab since around more than 03 decades. Further, the industry of neighboring states and various state/central govt. departments/organizations were also our premier customers and around 200 different organizations/industry were utilizing the said services with 800-1000 equipments being tested and calibrated yearly at our lab. The test & calibration is carried for measuring instruments in the area of electro technical, mechanical and mass measurements. The said service is also rendered for weight boxes upto 200gm including fractional weight.

From the year 2019 onwards an initiative for conduct of workshop on standardization and calibration in the field of electronics/electrical/ mechanicals/optics and mass was undertaken at the premises of various engineering colleges/universities/polytechnics/ degree colleges/ITIs of the state. The said workshops were of great use to the teaching faculty/technical manpower of the institutes as well as the students of engineering colleges/universities/polytechnics/degree colleges/ITI. The workshop are intended for providing practical training of calibration and process generation for students/faculty of the institutes. Presently testing /measurement of Refractive index of glass is being done/carried by Digital Refractometer.


Computerized Energy Billing for UHBVN & DHBVN:-
HARTRON has been generating computerized energy bills for various circles of UHBVN & DHBVN since 2003 for all its categories of consumers. Presently printing of Computerized Energy Bill is done for various categories of consumers of UHBVN & DHBVN.
