Delta Electronics’ Automation Expansion Puts Krishnagiri on Track to Become India’s EV Manufacturing Powerhouse
Tamil Nadu’s Krishnagiri district is on the cusp of a manufacturing revolution. Delta Electronics, a Taiwan-based giant in power and thermal management, has announced the expansion of its large-scale automation facility — a move being hailed as transformative for India’s EV and electronics ecosystem.
At a time when the global EV market is intensifying, Delta’s expansion isn’t just about capacity. It signals a deeper bet on India as a hub for automation-driven production. The facility will support electric vehicle powertrain components, renewable energy systems, and industrial automation products, aligning with the government’s Make in India and FAME II initiatives.
“Krishnagiri has the potential to be India’s Detroit — a symbol of smart manufacturing and sustainable mobility,” said a senior executive at Delta. Industry observers note that beyond job creation, the project strengthens India’s supply chain independence, reducing reliance on imports.
The Tamil Nadu government has already committed to turning the state into a $100 billion EV hub by 2035, and Delta’s investment provides real momentum to this vision. For local communities, this could mean thousands of jobs; for the industry, it marks India’s shift from assembly-led operations to automation-led value creation.
