Located in one of northern India’s growing automotive hubs, the new plant will manufacture complete energy systems, including fuel tanks. Its annual production capacity is expected to reach one million fuel tanks by 2031.
The facility is expected to strengthen the joint venture’s ability to support Maruti Suzuki’s growth in northern India. It will also contribute to OPmobility’s target of doubling its revenue in India by 2030.
