Currently, Danfoss has three manufacturing facilities in India, with the largest facility in Chennai, spread across 50 acres, housing four R&D labs. About one fifth of the company’s products are manufactured locally, while the rest of the products are imported.

As part of the localisation, supplementing the government’s Atmanirbhar Bharat mission, Danfoss India has multiplied its local production and supply chain abilities, and plans to take up localisation from the current 35-40% to 90% over the next two to three years, by partnering with the local supply chain of micro, small and medium enterprises (MSMEs).
