This new plant marks Schneider Electric’s continued expansion in India’s rapidly growing industrial and electronics sectors and reflects the company’s strategy to deepen its manufacturing presence in the country. The collaboration with Horizon Industrial Parks emphasizes a commitment to sustainable manufacturing and operational excellence.
