	An overview of the 2.5 GeV synchrotron radiation source, Indus-2, which has been set up at RRCAT, Indore will be presented with emphasis on commissioning details. The accelerator is used both as a booster and as a storage ring. Using an injection energy of 550MeV, the beam energy has been ramped up to 2.4 GeV. Two beam lines have also been installed, one for x-ray diffraction (XRD) and another for extended x-ray absorption fine structure (EXAFS) studies. To condition the vacuum chamber of the ring, regular operation has been restricted to 2 GeV. To test the XRD beam line, first diffraction pattern from a pyrolitic graphite sample was recorded with bending magnet synchrotron light with ring operating at 2 GeV. Indigenous technological base created in setting up Indus-2 would be used while participating in up coming international accelerator projects.

	The 14 UD Pelletron Accelerator, set up as a collaborative effort between Bhabha Atomic Research Centre and Tata Institute of Fundamental Research, has been operational since it’s inception in 1989. Apart from basic research, various accelerator based programmes including accelerator mass spectrometry, production of track-etch membranes, production of radio isotopes, irradiation damage studies are being pursued. This contribution will describe the details of currently ongoing programmes.

	After signing a Protocol on 29 March 1996 to the 1991 cooperation agreement with CERN, Switzerland, India is participating in the construction of CERN’s most challenging and ambitious particle accelerator the “Large Hadron Collider” (LHC). The contributions span from hardware, software, and skilled manpower support for evaluation of some of the LHC sub-systems and presently to the support in commissioning of various subsystems of LHC. With major achievements on Indian part during the course of time CERN has now invited India to jointly participate further to build CERN’s Advanced Accelerator Projects like Super conducting Proton LINAC, SPL and Compact Linear Collider Test Facility, CTF-3. The present paper describes the achievements to date and high lights the ongoing and future collaboration activities.
