GT Emissions Systems India Pvt Ltd, a subsidiary of UK-based GT Emissions Systems, has opened a new manufacturing facility in Jigani, Karnataka, to produce engine air products including exhaust gas recirculation (EGR) systems, intake throttle valves and exhaust throttle valves.
The facility is intended to support programmes for both international and domestic customers. It will supply components to a Europe-based customer through localised manufacturing in India, while also serving a leading Indian original equipment manufacturer (OEM), aligning the company’s global engineering capabilities with regional production requirements.
The Jigani plant forms part of its strategy to strengthen supply chain proximity and improve responsiveness to customer programmes in multiple markets. The company said the site will enable manufacturing and supply operations in India for export-linked programmes as well as domestic vehicle platforms.
“Our new GT Emissions Systems India Pvt Ltd facility enables us to better serve our customers by aligning local manufacturing with global standards,” said Stephen Wright, Managing Director of GT Emissions Systems. “By supporting a European customer through India-based supply while also partnering with Indian OEMs, we are demonstrating the flexibility and scalability of our operations,” Wright said.
The plant has been established in Jigani, an industrial area located south of Bengaluru, which has developed into a manufacturing cluster for automotive and engineering companies. GT Emissions Systems said the location was selected to support operational efficiency, access to skilled labour and proximity to key customers and suppliers.
The company stated that the facility has been designed to support advanced manufacturing processes and consistent product quality across programmes. In addition to production activities, the site is expected to contribute to local employment and skills development in manufacturing-related roles, although no specific investment value or employment numbers were disclosed.
India continues to play a role in GT Emissions Systems’ long-term growth plans, with the company indicating that the Jigani facility reflects its ongoing focus on expanding manufacturing capacity in key markets. The company said it intends to use the new plant to support customer requirements across regions while maintaining common engineering and quality standards.
GT Emissions Systems operates globally in the development and manufacture of engine air and emission control products for automotive applications, supplying systems such as EGRs and intake and exhaust throttle valves to vehicle manufacturers across multiple markets.
