World Health Organization announced a public health emergency of International concern on 30th January 2020 arising from SARS-CoV-2 virus as COVID-19. Since then, this disease has been spreading globally at an alarming rate leading to many deaths and causing numerous hardships to human lives. To arrest the spread of COVID-19, its identifi-cation, in-term treatment, and vaccine development assume a greater significance. As a part of containment of COVID-19, Indian scientists are actively engaged in multiple aspects of disease control, and developing several engineering and technological solutions. The Indian National Academy of Engineering (INAE) is proud to present the Special Issue (SI) of the Transactions of INAE on 'Technologies for Fight-ing COVID-19'. The idea of the SI is that there are several technologies available in India that can easily be tweaked to address the COVID-19 pandemic. The journal provides a platform for collating such technologies, which should help bring inventors and translators/industries together.
