The centre, which will specialise in Asian noodles and Indian cooking, will focus on developing nutritious, affordable products in appropriate serving sizes for lower income consumers.
The company has invested CHF50m in the centre, which is located in Manesar close to Nestlé India’s headquarters in Gurgaon.
Paul Bulcke, Nestlé’s CEO, said: “Our R&D centre in India will help us gain important insights into local consumers’ eating habits and taste preferences, as well as greater expertise in using and processing local ingredients to develop products for India and beyond.
“As with all Nestlé’s R&D centres, it will be part of our worldwide R&D network, enabling us to acquire local knowledge and use it on a global scale.”
