The new plant forms part of the company’s long-term plan to support India’s evolving automotive ecosystem across multiple vehicle segments.

Strategically located near major original equipment manufacturers in southern India, the Hosur facility will initially focus on the production of critical automotive components.

The new unit is aimed at improving supply-chain efficiency, strengthening proximity to customers, and supporting faster response times for OEM partners in the region. The expansion is also expected to contribute to local economic development through manufacturing activity and employment generation.

Commenting on the development, Swapnil Jain, Managing Director, Pavna Industries, said the Hosur project represents a defining milestone in the company’s growth journey. He noted that the facility reflects Pavna’s intent to drive operational excellence, enhance logistics efficiency, and meet the changing requirements of the automotive industry, while remaining focused on timely execution and reliable delivery.

With the Hosur facility, Pavna Industries continues to reinforce its manufacturing footprint in India, aligning capacity expansion with regional demand and long-term industry growth.
