NATPAC was established in 1976 as a Division of Kerala State Electronics Development Corporation (KELTRON), a Public Sector Enterprise under the Government of Kerala. In 1982, it was reconstituted as an R&D institution under the Department of Science, Technology and Environment, Government of Kerala. In November 2002, Kerala State Council for Science, Technology and Environment (KSCSTE) was formed, with the objective of adopting a concerted and integrated approach to the research and development activities in Kerala. In February 2003, NATPAC was amalgamated to the new Council and accordingly is functioning as an R&D unit under KSCSTE which is fully funded and supported by the Government of Kerala. The Centre is undertaking research and consultancy works in the fields of traffic engineering and transportation planning, highway engineering, public transport system, inland water transport, tourism planning, rural roads, environmental impact assessment and transport energy .
