BASF Catalysts India, a subsidiary of BASF Environmental Catalyst and Metal Solutions (ECMS), has inaugurated a new research, development and application (RD&A) lab at its site in Mahindra World City, Tamil Nadu, Chennai.

The facility is focused on the development of emissions control catalysts tailored to the unique needs of the Indian automotive market.

“This new RD&A lab will enable the development of market specific catalyst formulations that meet the unique needs of the Indian market with agility and flexibility,” said Saeed Alerasool, senior vice president of RD&A for ECMS. “With this investment, ECMS is well positioned to help our customers respond to changes resulting from fuel diversification as well as stricter tailpipe emissions requirements, and ensures our readiness to support future automotive technologies.”

The opening of the new lab is a pivotal step aligned with India’s evolving automotive industry and the Indian government’s focus on diversifying fuel sources including further adoption of compressed natural gas (CNG) and renewable biofuels and hydrogen. This requires local OEMs to launch flex fuel vehicles capable of running on any biofuel petrol mix. Additionally, the upcoming stricter emissions requirements pose new challenges for automakers in India.

“With this new lab within our Chennai site, BCIL is able to provide end to end support to our customers, from initial catalyst development to final product delivery,” said Sujan Saha, business head India and head of South East Asia, mobile emissions catalysts.

“This also enhances our local ability to cater to the specific needs of Indian customers and address their needs more quickly.”

"BASF Catalysts opens new India R&D lab" was originally created and published by Just Auto, a GlobalData owned brand.
