Consul General of India, Osaka-Kobe and Uttar Pradesh Delegation visited NLAB
On Wednesday, 30 July 2025, a delegation of 6 members led by Mr. Chandru APAR, Consul General of India, Osaka-Kobe and Mr. Vijay Kiran ANAND, Secretary, Infrastructure & Industrial Development, Government of Uttar Pradesh, India & Chief Executive Director-Invest UP, visited the NLAB※1 at the NITE Osaka Office.
The Government of Uttar Pradesh aims to establish itself as a hub for next-generation clean mobility and advanced technology solutions by focusing on EV battery research, development, and testing. The delegation received an overview of NITE and an introduction to NLAB’s activities related to the testing and evaluation of large storage battery systems and EV battery safety, followed by on-site tour of NLAB facilities.
In addition, NITE's role in overseeing the production of the Japan Pavilion exhibition content for the Expo 2025 Osaka Kansai, which opened on April 13, 2025, was introduced during the tour.
There were several rounds of questions and answers reflecting the participants’ high level of interest.
We hope that this visit contributes to the development of the EV battery and energy storage system industries in both countries.
