Intellectual Capital

Fostering a Culture of Innovation

Innovation is at the core of our value creation. We are constantly pushing boundaries of R&D to create sustainable innovations as well as futuristic solutions and to improve processes. These facilitate us in staying ahead of the curve to meet evolving customer needs and to deliver sustainable value.

Global technology and innovation ecosystem

People competencies are key to innovation. We collaborate with the global technology ecosystem such as advanced learning academic institutions, institutional research agencies and innovation centers to skill our people as well as to co-innovate solutions for shaping a better tomorrow.

Our Research and Development Infrastructure
Kalyani Centre for Technology and Innovation (KCTI)

KCTI is a DSIR-recognized and NABL-certified centre, which is central to our innovation and technology-driven strategy. It is enabling us to deepen intellectual capital by facilitating advanced technical training and academic courses to people and by undertaking extensive R&D through its network of innovation centers, research institutions and academic institutions. It is acknowledged and approved by all critical customers.

Focus areas
  • Research on metallurgical properties of various metals and optimization of forging processes through advanced labs of heat treatment, metallography, fatigue, creep testing
  • Improve performance of the existing products by value addition and value engineering
  • Development of total systems from design to end use
  • Co-assist BFL in development of new processes and products from conceptualization to end use
Kalyani Centre for Manufacturing Innovation (KCMI)

Having cutting-edge equipment, KCMI facilitates in new product development and in incubating new technologies through its rapid prototyping capabilities.

Focus areas
  • Joint engineering support during product development
  • Speedy development of prototypes
  • Establishment design for manufacturing processes and technology
Kalyani Mobility

The new R&D center based in Michigan, North America, will primarily support product development for the light-weighting and E-mobility businesses. It will also be leveraged to incubate disruptive technologies in material alloys and manufacturing process. It is expected to act as a beachhead for the Group’s global R&D activities in the coming few years.
