DNP and IIT Hyderabad team up to advance wireless EV charging tech

Dai Nippon Printing (DNP) has announced a new research partnership with the Indian Institute of Technology Hyderabad (IITH). The collaboration will focus on wireless power supply systems for electric vehicles (EVs) and advancements in medical healthcare. Both organisations aim to speed up research and bring new technologies to market faster.

The project will be based at the Technology Research Park (TRP) on IITH's campus, where DNP will establish a dedicated research facility.

DNP already leads the global market in battery pouches—exterior materials used in lithium-ion batteries for EVs. Now, the company plans to expand its work in next-generation mobility by developing wireless charging solutions.

The partnership will combine IITH's research expertise and talent with DNP's existing technologies. One key focus is the use of sheet-type coil technology, which DNP will adapt to improve wireless power supply for EVs. The goal is to refine the design, development, and commercialisation of these systems.

While no public records exist of recent joint work between DNP and IITH on autonomous driving, this new agreement marks a clear step into mobility and healthcare innovation. Both sides hope the collaboration will turn research into practical applications more efficiently.

The joint research initiative will operate from IITH's campus, where DNP has set up a new base. By merging academic research with industrial technology, the partnership targets faster progress in wireless EV charging and medical solutions. The outcomes could influence future mobility systems and healthcare advancements in the region.
