OPmobility is accelerating its development in India, the world’s third-largest automotive market, where the Group aims at more than doubling its sales by 2030. Already operating five plants in India, OPmobility inaugurated the facility in Badhalwadi, in the State of Maharashtra, and has started construction of plant in Kharkhoda, in the State of Haryana. Alongside these plant openings, OPmobility is reinforcing its local capabilities across engineering, digital and software development to serve customers in India and around the world.
OPmobility is increasing its production capacities in a dynamic Indian automotive sector, which vehicle output is expected to grow +5.2% on average per year between 2025 and 2030 (Source: S&P Global Mobility). More than one out of three vehicles in the country is equipped by OPmobility today. The Badhalwadi plant is OPmobility’s first site in the country to integrate exterior systems and energy storage systems production capacities in one facility. In parallel, the new Kharkhoda plant, which held its groundbreaking ceremony in August 2025, will produce energy storage systems and is scheduled to start operations in early 2026.
Beyond production capacities, OPmobility is reinforcing its engineering and digital footprint in India, with the aim of meeting growing demand from Indian and global customers. This includes four R&D centers which support both local businesses and global markets. Thanks to the excellence of its R&D teams, OPmobility was recently awarded a key business by an automotive manufacturer in India, for the record development time of a new product. In addition, OP’nSoft, the Group’s dedicated software entity, has established a center in Bangalore, in the State of Karnataka.
As a world leader in mobility, OPmobility is fully committed to sustainability in all the countries where it operates. In that regard, the Badhalwadi plant is equipped with solar panels supplying 35% of its energy needs and employs a majority of women. In addition, OPmobility is supporting the nearby Navlakh Umbre village school by funding the expansion of its facilities and equipping it with new digital equipment.
Laurent Favre, Chief Executive Officer of OPmobility, declared: “India is a strategic country for OPmobility, with a fast-growing automotive industry and as a platform of skilled workforce. Having developed strong historical partnerships with international and Indian automotive manufacturers, who benefit from a dynamic domestic and international demand, the Group aims at more than doubling its sales in the country by 2030. This will notably contribute to one of the pillars of our strategy, which is the geographical diversification of our sales. The reinforcement of our engineering, digital and software capacities in the country allows us to improve our overall competitiveness in engineering in all our countries and to continue to enhance our performance.”
