Valeo has inaugurated new manufacturing and assembly lines at its facility in Pune to support the production of components for electric vehicles. The expansion focuses on producing a 3-in-1 Combo unit, which integrates an On-Board Charger, a DC-DC Converter, and a Power Distribution Unit into a single module.
The facility incorporates automation and smart manufacturing practices aimed at enhancing operational efficiency. The production of these localized components is expected to reduce import dependency and optimize supply chains for electric vehicle manufacturers in India.
Xavier Dupont, Valeo Power Division CEO and Group Executive Vice President, stated, “At Valeo, we are committed to supporting xEV growth in India. We offer our clients the latest technologies for safer and more sustainable mobility, and by investing in new production capabilities, we are proud to contribute to Make In India.”
Jayakumar G, Group President and Managing Director of Valeo India, added, “This achievement reflects the strong collaboration between Valeo’s global and India teams in establishing these advanced manufacturing lines. I am pleased that our teams are trained in these new technologies and prepared for the production ramp-up.”
The company indicated that the initiative supports the broader development of the electric vehicle ecosystem in India through increased domestic value addition and cost-competitive solutions for original equipment manufacturers (OEMs).
