How do you test a car for India’s diverse driving conditions before it ever reaches customers?
Weather, other drivers, bumps and knocks, any unexpected event.
Imagine doing it in a lab, figuring out how to make the car tough enough to handle real-world incidents, yet lightweight and visually appealing.
That’s just part of an average day at our Research and Development Center in Bangalore.
Turning data into durable cars
Our team works with Indian companies to put their products through real-life simulations to create stronger, lighter, and more resilient plastics and resins. We’re helping carmakers and packaging producers to industrial-equipment manufacturers create the materials that meet their evolving needs.
But what does putting these plastics through their paces actually look like? And how do they help deliver products fit for India?
Meet Ayushi and Bharath from our R&D Center. Discover how and why they research car plastics to help make India’s cars ready for the road.
