BASF Group has inaugurated its new Innovation Campus Asia Pacific in Mumbai.

The project will involve a total expected investment of up to €50 million from BASF Group, and marks the group’s largest research and development (R&D) investment in South Asia.

The Innovation Campus significantly expands BASF’s research capacities in India, which were established in 2005, and expanded in 2014, to cover agricultural research, organic synthesis, molecular modelling and advanced process research.

The campus can accommodate 300 scientists and will bring together top scientists from India and other parts of the world, BASF said.
