Schneider Electric is setting up a new IT manufacturing facility at Horizon Industrial Park in Hosur to boost production and support sustainable growth in India.

Schneider Electric, a global leader in energy management and automation, has announced intentions to build a manufacturing plant for its IT business at Horizon Industrial Park in Hosur, near Shoolagiri, Tamil Nadu.

The 500,000-square-foot facility will support the manufacturing, sales, and trade of Battery Management Systems (BMS), which include Uninterruptible Power Supply (UPS) systems, Power Distribution Units (PDU), cooling products, and electronic accessories. Its placement on the Bangalore-Chennai National Highway ensures access to vital markets.

The construction will be completed in two phases in conjunction with Horizon Industrial Parks, which is financed by Blackstone Real Estate funds. The first phase will contain a dust-free facility, modern office space, and upgrades such as improved power capacity, advanced fire protection systems, and optimal workspace planning for an initial staff of 1,500.

The second phase, which is projected to take seven months, will result in a custom-built facility customised to Schneider Electric’s advanced operational requirements.

Deepak Sharma, Zone President of Greater India and MD & CEO of Schneider Electric India, stated, “We are pleased to collaborate with Horizon Industrial Parks as we advance our commitment to an ‘Atmanirbhar Bharat. This collaboration demonstrates our dedication to sustainability, efficiency, and operational excellence. The new facility will significantly improve our manufacturing capabilities and support the ‘Make in India’ initiative.

The Indian Green Building Council (IGBC) pre-certified the campus as ‘Platinum.’ Rooftop solar panels, glass wool roof insulation, skylights for natural illumination, smart light sensors, HVAC controls, and EV charging stations are among the sustainable features. Additional solar installations are planned for the second phase.

Urvish Rambhia, Principal at Blackstone Real Estate, stated, “We are pleased to partner with Schneider Electric and support its long-term growth in India. We are committed to providing high-quality, tailored infrastructure solutions for global and local corporations.”

This strategic expansion reinforces Schneider Electric’s continued investment in India’s manufacturing sector, with a focus on innovation, efficiency, and sustainability.
