OPmobility Accelerates Expansion in India, Plans to More Than Double Sales by 2030

OPmobility, a leading French automotive components manufacturer, has outlined an aggressive growth strategy to significantly expand its footprint in India, one of the world’s fastest-growing automotive markets. With the domestic automotive sector expected to grow at an annual rate exceeding 5%, OPmobility aims to capitalize on this dynamic environment to bolster its presence and increase sales. The company's initiatives focus on augmenting production capabilities, upgrading R&D facilities, and driving innovation in clean and sustainable mobility solutions.

 

Notable updates from OPmobility’s India expansion plan include:

 

Opening of a new integrated production facility in Badhalwadi, Maharashtra, specializing in both exterior systems and advanced energy storage systems, marking a first of its kind in India.

 

Construction underway for a second manufacturing plant in Kharkhoda, Haryana, dedicated to energy storage solutions, with production scheduled to commence in early 2026.

 

Expansion from the current five plants in India to a total of 10 over the next five years, including new factories in Chennai, Manesar, Aurangabad, Hansalpur, and Kharkhoda, strategically positioned in major automotive hubs.

 

Enhancement of digital and software development capabilities through a state-of-the-art technology center in Pune, poised to become the largest engineering hub in Asia.

 

Significant investment of $200-300 million (approx. Rs. 1,770-2,660 crore) over five years, representing OPmobility’s largest commitment to the Indian market.

 

Targeting key Indian OEM clients such as Maruti Suzuki, Hyundai, Kia, Tata Motors, Renault-Nissan, Škoda-Volkswagen, and Jaguar Land Rover to supply critical automotive components.

 

Emphasis on next-generation technologies including electric vehicle battery systems and hydrogen storage to support India’s transition to cleaner and more sustainable mobility.

 

Major takeaways highlight OPmobility’s strategic focus not only on increasing production volumes but also on pioneering innovation through digitalization and clean energy solutions. This comprehensive expansion reinforces OPmobility’s commitment to strengthening local manufacturing content, enhancing exports, and supporting India’s role as a global automotive manufacturing hub.

 

With this forward-looking investment, OPmobility is poised to play a pivotal role in India’s evolving automotive landscape, driving growth in both traditional and emerging segments.
