Home » Product Development & Innovation centre (PDIC)

Product Development & Innovation Centre (PDIC) was established in December 2014 as a centralized facility to support the development activities and work as a self-sufficient design house. The innovation centre started its activities from the new facility since October 2018. The facility was formally inaugurated by Honourable Raksha Mantri, Sri Rajnath Singh on 19 Sept 2019.

PDIC is setup in a centralized air-conditioned five-storey building spread over 26 acre land and can house 700+ engineers. PDIC caters to new product and sub-system development requirements of SBU’s spread across all the Units of BEL. Major infrastructure for prototyping, testing and design validation, such as EMI/EMC test facility, ESS labs, Rate Tables, Clean Rooms, etc are part of the in-house facilities.

PDIC is involved in design & development of state-of-the-art technology modules and sub-systems through continuous innovation. This ensures high value-addition and quick adaptation of latest technologies in company’s products portfolio. Multi-disciplinary resources in a single location, supported by necessary infrastructure ensures efficient development cycle and also brings in standardization.

To enable the R&D engineers to innovate, PDIC is equipped with the latest hardware and software tools for design, 3D modelling, verification, documentation, etc. PDIC engineers specialising in various domains of engineering viz. electronics, mechanical, computer science, electrical & optics, collaborate to design, develop, prototype and generate necessary manufacturing documents for modules, products and sub-systems which can be marketed as standalone products or can be used in development of larger systems or system-of-systems by various BEL business units.
