The Centre was established in 1977 by the Department of Science and Technology initially under the Science and Engineering Research Council (SERC) programme, with Indian Institute of Science, Raman Research Institute, National Aeronautical Laboratory all in Bangalore and Tata Institute of Fundamental Research in Bombay as the participating institutions and was called "Bangalore NMR Facility". It came under the purview of Regional Sophisticated Instrumentation Centre (RSIC) programme in April 1982 and was called the "Sophisticated Instruments Facility". In March 2005, it was renamed as "NMR Research Centre", which reflected the ongoing activities. In 2021, the Centre was converted to Institute NMR Facility.

The broad objectives of the Centre are :

The Institute NMR facility houses eight NMR spectrometers, ranging from 400 to 800 MHz. In accordance with the objective of the Centre, the facilities are made available to scientists from across the country. Schools/workshops were organised at the national level to make the users aware of the latest developments in the area of NMR spectroscopy and also to help them in making the best use of the available facilities.
