The proton linac will require a large number of superconducting Radio Frequency cavities ranging from low beta spoke resonators to medium and high beta multi-cell elliptical cavities at different RF frequencies. A dedicated facility is being set up for development of multi-cell superconducting cavities and their performance characterization. 1.3 GHz single-cell niobium cavities have been developed to establish the fabrication procedure. These cavities has exhibited high quality factor with an accelerating gradients up to 37 MV/m. A novel technique of laser welding of 1.3 GHz niobium cavity has been developed and demonstrated performance comparable to electron beam welded cavity. A dedicated facility for SCRF cavity forming, machining, electron beam welding, RF characterization, cavity tuning and cavity processing is being set up. To characterize a SCRF cavity at 2K, a vertical test stand has been developed and a horizontal test stand has been designed.
