Dai Nippon Printing (DNP) will establish a new research and development base in Telangana, India, in April 2026, to advance and reinforce its global R&D strategy. The R&D base will be the company’s second overseas (after one established in the Netherlands in September 2025).

DNP will pursue joint research with the Indian Institute of Technology Hyderabad (IITH), a leading science and engineering university in India, in the mobility and medical healthcare fields, which are focus business areas for DNP. By establishing a base at the Technology Research Park (TRP), a corporate collaboration facility on the university campus, DNP aims to accelerate R&D outcomes and their social implementation by combining IITH's strength in human resources and R&D with DNP's technological capabilities.

Mobility: Wireless power supply systems for EVs

DNP says it currently possesses the world's top global share for battery pouches (exterior materials) for EV lithium-ion batteries, and is also pursuing technology development related to next-generation mobility.

At the new base, looking ahead to a future society of autonomous driving and advanced mobility, DNP will utilize its sheet-type coil technology as a foundation for advancing the design, development, and commercialization of wireless power supply systems for EVs jointly with IITH.
