Dürr India, a subsidiary of the global Dürr Group, has been a key player in the country’s manufacturing landscape since 1997. With nearly three decades of expertise, the company leads in delivering advanced paint shops featuring high automation, state-of-the-art application technology, robust exhaust air purification, and energy-efficient solutions. In addition to automotive paint shops, Dürr India also supports OEMs with vehicle assembly systems and Li-ion battery manufacturing lines, positioning itself as a comprehensive solutions provider.
At the core of its capabilities is the Global Engineering Center in Chennai, which combines local engineering talent with global expertise to serve both domestic and international markets. Recognised within the Dürr Group as the Center of Excellence for Two-Wheeler Painting Technology, the India site continues to drive innovation for this high-volume segment.
Capitalising on India’s Automotive Growth
India, now the world’s third-largest automobile market by sales, produces a wide spectrum of vehicles—from two-wheelers and passenger cars to commercial vehicles and tractors. Having overtaken China in two-wheeler production with over 21 million units in 2024, India’s market is poised for continued growth, with car sales projected to reach 5.5 million units and two-wheeler volumes expected to cross 23 million units by 2030.
Dürr India has contributed significantly to this growth, delivering over 70 painting lines and deploying more than 500 painting robots across the country. Its technology has also expanded into related industries such as agriculture, construction, and wind energy, highlighting its diverse capabilities.
Technology-Led, Future-Ready Solutions
With rising demand for sustainable, energy-efficient surface treatment technologies, and growing emphasis on automation and digitalisation, Dürr India is delivering its “Paint Shop of the Future.” This concept features modular, scalable, and highly flexible solutions like EcoProBooth, the EcoInCure oven, and the pretreatment and electrocoating system EcoProWet that help manufacturers meet evolving market and environmental needs.
The EcoProBooth, for instance, is a painting booth designed for all vehicle types and allows both linear and parallel production layouts—offering unparalleled flexibility. Solutions like these are helping Indian OEMs transition to more intelligent, adaptable manufacturing environments.
Sustainability at the Core
Dürr India’s solutions are engineered for environmental responsibility. Technologies such as EcoReflect, Dürr’s innovative light tunnel for surface quality inspection, EcoDry X, a paint overspray separation system, and EcoInCure, along with next-generation robots using EcoBell4 applicators, help reduce energy consumption and carbon emissions.
The EcoDry X system—first implemented in India for a leading OEM—uses a dry overspray separation process with disposable cardboard filters. It exemplifies Dürr’s commitment to low-emission, energy-efficient solutions, aligned with the country’s broader green manufacturing goals.
Local Manufacturing, Global Standards
With 75–80% of its systems manufactured locally, Dürr India remains deeply committed to the government’s “Make in India” vision while providing end-to-end service support. Looking ahead, the company plans to introduce additional innovations, including:
- EcoProBooth: An integrated spray booth for all painting tasks
- EcoProWet: A modular, water-based pre-treatment and electrocoating system
- EcoPaintJet Pro: An overspray-free paint application system
As India accelerates toward a cleaner, digitally enabled, and electrified automotive future, Dürr India stands ready with world-class, sustainable, and flexible solutions—shaping the next chapter in the country’s manufacturing story.
