In industries induction Motor drives are more popular due to their brushless structure, low cost, low maintenance and robust performance. Over the decade various types of control methods are proposed for induction motor drives. Among them the Direct Torque Control (DTC) has gained more importance due to its fast dynamic response and simple control structure. Hybridization is nowadays recognized to be an essential aspect of high performing algorithms. To enhance the performance of the DTC drives the paper proposes two types of hybrid controllers. In the first method the PI is tuned using fuzzy logic based controller and in the second method the PI tuned fuzzy logic is optimized through Ant colony. The simulation is carried out using MATLAB and the obtained result shows the comparison in performance between proportional integral, fuzzy logic tuned speed controller and fuzzy tuned through Ant colony optimization.
