Background & concept of a new factory building
Nidec India produces motors for air conditioners in the first building of its existing factory

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 appliances and air conditioning motors.
Rapid economic growth in recent years
With the middle-class income rising amid its rapid economic growth in recent years, India witnessed its domestic passenger car sales surpass four million (on a shipment basis) for the first time in FY2023, reaching a record-high number as the nation enjoys a sustainable economic expansion.
The penetration rate of passenger cards remains 10% or less in India
In the meantime, however, the penetration rate of passenger cards remains 10% or less in India, indicating a potential for 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.
