Nidec India Private Limited has announced a groundbreaking ceremony for a new third building of its existing factory in Rajasthan, India. The project, which will have a workforce of 600 people and a total floor area of 27,767m2, is expected to be completed by September 2026.

Nidec India Private Limited, a subsidiary of Nidec Corporation, announced that it has held a groundbreaking ceremony for a new third building of its existing factory in Neemrana, Rajasthan, in the Republic of India. The construction site will have a workforce of 600 people and a total floor area of 27,767 m². The new plant, with an investment of ₹450 crore, is expected to be completed by September 2026.

Nidec India produces motors for air conditioners in the first building of its existing factory and drive motors for electric bikes in the factory’s second building. In the factory’s third building to be newly constructed, the company plans to produce automotive motors for electronic power steering motor power packs*, park lock actuators, electric water pumps, and other products with an estimated investment of approximately 10 billion yen. The first building will be a dedicated plant for home appliance and air conditioning motors.

Keiji Oshima, managing director of Nidec India, said, “It shows Nidec Japan’s faith in India. We have continuously developed our business in India, from motors for the automotive sector to white goods and now to manufacturing, specifically automotive components.”

India’s rapid economic growth has led to a record-high domestic passenger car sales of four million in FY2023, marking a significant increase in middle-class income and a sustainable expansion in the country. In the meantime, however, the penetration rate of passenger cards remains 10% or less in India, indicating a potential high growth in the future.

Under these circumstances, as Japanese and other countries’ car manufacturers accelerate their pace of entering into India, Nidec India has decided to build a new building for the purpose of expanding its factory’s production capacity to meet the growing demands for automotive motors.
