- DNP is establishing its second overseas R&D center in India focused on EV wireless charging.
- The Hyderabad facility will support end-to-end development from design to mass production.
Dai Nippon Printing Co., Ltd. is expanding its global innovation footprint by setting up a new research and development facility in India. Announced on March 23, the center will be located at the Indian Institute of Technology Hyderabad’s Technology Research Park in Telangana and is scheduled to begin operations in April 2026. This marks the company’s second overseas R&D hub after its Netherlands facility, reinforcing its strategic push into advanced mobility technologies.
Focus on EV Wireless Charging Development
The new R&D center will prioritize mobility solutions, particularly the development of wireless power supply systems for electric vehicles. Working in collaboration with the Indian Institute of Technology Hyderabad, the company will leverage its proprietary sheet-type coil technology to design efficient and scalable wireless charging systems. This initiative aligns with broader industry efforts to simplify EV charging infrastructure and improve user convenience.
End-to-End Development Capabilities
The Hyderabad facility is designed to function as a comprehensive development hub, handling the entire lifecycle of innovation. Activities will span from route and system design to prototyping, testing, and eventual mass production readiness. This integrated approach is expected to accelerate commercialization timelines while ensuring that solutions meet global performance and reliability standards.
Global Strategy and Local Collaboration
By establishing this center in India, Dai Nippon Printing Co., Ltd. aims to combine global expertise with local engineering talent. The collaboration with academic institutions is expected to foster innovation while supporting the growing demand for electric mobility solutions in emerging markets. Additionally, the center will serve as a global development base for advanced applications, including APIs, strengthening the company’s technological portfolio.
Supporting EV Adoption Through Innovation
The focus on wireless charging technology reflects a broader industry transition toward more user-friendly EV ecosystems. By eliminating the need for physical connectors, such systems can enhance convenience, reduce wear and tear, and enable new use cases such as dynamic charging. The Hyderabad R&D center is expected to play a critical role in advancing these technologies and supporting wider electric vehicle adoption globally.
