The R and D centre will host multidisciplinary teams to accelerate materials research, thermal management solutions and battery management software. It will provide facilities for prototype assembly, performance validation and safety testing under controlled conditions. The initiative is intended to shorten development cycles and to bridge laboratory research and commercial manufacturing. The centre will combine laboratory work with simulation and data analytics to inform design choices.

Pace will seek collaboration with universities and with local suppliers to build an innovation ecosystem and to develop supply chain competencies. Engineering roles will focus on cell chemistry, electrode fabrication and systems integration, while project teams will manage regulatory compliance and certification pathways. The centre will also support training and skills development for early career engineers. Programmes at the centre will cover design validation, lifecycle assessment and manufacturing readiness.

The establishment of the centre adds to national capacity for advanced energy storage and supports efforts to scale domestic manufacturing of battery systems. The company indicated that the Pune facility aligns with national technology priorities and with commercial plans to serve automotive manufacturers and energy integrators across the Asia Pacific region. The centre is positioned to support workforce development and to accelerate technology transfer from research to production. The facility will interface with industry partners to enable pilot projects and to support scaling of technologies into production.
