Written By Ilia Gorshkov

On September 25, 2025, the Maulana Azad Institute of Dental Sciences (MAIDS) in New Delhi inaugurated the Dental Technology Innovation Hub (DTIH) — India’s first dedicated dental innovation centre. Supported by the Department of Science & Technology (India) (DST) and the Indian Council of Medical Research (ICMR), the hub currently supports 16 dental-technology projects and aims to reduce India’s reliance (currently ~85 %) on imported dental products. The initiative is poised to foster low-cost, locally tailored solutions, and encourages start-ups and university-industry collaboration in dental R&D.
