TeraLumen Solutions builds India’s first commercial terahertz systems
TeraLumen Solutions has commercialised terahertz imaging and sensing systems made in India, backed by four patents and ongoing clinical trials.
YourStory reported that the company’s products are already in use, marking what appears to be the first time terahertz technology has been produced at scale within the country. Terahertz waves sit between microwave and infrared on the electromagnetic spectrum, offering potential in medical imaging, security screening, and materials analysis without ionising radiation.
The startup’s progress comes as India’s deeptech ecosystem faces pressure to move beyond software. When we covered BrainSight AI cofounder Laina Emmanuel’s call for closer STEM collaboration on 10 October, she pointed to a gap between scientific talent and engineering execution. TeraLumen’s work suggests that gap can be bridged, at least in niche hardware segments.
Still, commercial viability remains unproven. Clinical trials are underway, but terahertz systems have struggled to find mass-market applications globally. If the company can demonstrate consistent demand—particularly in healthcare or defence—it may attract the kind of patient capital deeptech hardware requires. For now, its existence is itself a signal: India’s terahertz industry is no longer theoretical.
