CG Power and Industrial Solutions has commissioned a new Extra High-Voltage switchgear manufacturing facility at Pimpalgaon Garudeshwar in Nashik, Maharashtra. The facility, designated S3 Unit-II, began commercial production and will manufacture EHV circuit breakers in the 33 kV to 245 kV range. The company says the addition grows its EHV circuit breaker manufacturing capacity by 80%.

S3 Unit-II sits alongside the company’s existing S3 Unit-I at Ambad, Nashik, which currently produces EHV circuit breakers across a wider 33 kV to 800 kV range. That facility has an annual capacity of 9,000 units and has been running at roughly 85% utilisation, a capacity crunch the company cites as one of the primary reasons for the new unit.

The new facility adds 7,200 units annually and includes 500 kV and 350 kV high-voltage testing laboratories as part of its infrastructure. The investment in S3 Unit-II stands at Rs 39.49 crore, funded entirely through internal accruals.

Interarch Building Solutions has opened a new manufacturing facility at Kheda, Gujarat. Spread across 12 acres, the plant’s infrastructure covers buildings, roads and systems. Once fully operational, the new plant is expected to have total capacity of 40,000 tonnes a year. The newly inaugurated Phase I, representing an investment of ₹60 crore, has added 20,000 tonnes of annual capacity. Phase II is expected to add the remaining 20,000 tonnes capacity, taking total capacity to 40,000 tonnes annually and the combined investment across both phases to ₹70 crore, approximately.

The facility completes Interarch’s pan-India manufacturing network, allowing it to serve customers across western and central India more efficiently while strengthening its export capabilities through proximity to major ports. The company expects the plant to create more than 400 direct and indirect jobs, contributing to Gujarat’s industrial and economic development.

Arvind Nanda, managing director, Interarch Building Solutions, said, “India is witnessing a transformation in industrial infrastructure, supported by rising public investment, manufacturing expansion and rapid development of logistics, warehousing, renewable energy and advanced manufacturing ecosystems. The inauguration of our Kheda facility comes at a pivotal time, enabling us to meet the growing demand for high-quality, sustainable and time efficient steel construction solutions.”

Amcor has boosted its healthcare packaging production capacity with a multi-million-dollar investment in its facility in Sira, Karnataka, India, and with a US$35 million investment to open a healthcare packaging coating facility in Subang Jaya, Selangor, Malaysia.

The flexible packaging giant says the ventures reflect a growing demand for pharmaceutical packaging in South and Southeast Asia.

At its plant in India, Amcor introduced advanced manufacturing technologies equipped with fully automated online vision systems to improve the quality and consistency of producing ophthalmic containers, injectable vials, and other high-performance healthcare packaging solutions.

11 th May 2026, Bengaluru, India: : Toyota Kirloskar Motor announces plans to build a new vehicle manufacturing plant in the Bidkin Industrial Area, Maharashtra, India. The new plant is planned to start production in the first half of 2029 and is aimed to strengthen Toyota’s business foundation in the Indian market.

The new plant will be positioned to steadily deliver vehicles not only to customers in India but also to customers in surrounding regions.

Vision for the New Plant

Toyota’s business in India has progressed together with those who pioneered the Indian market, with Toyota receiving invaluable learning and support from those pioneers.

With deep appreciation, Toyota will continue strengthening its production structure to enable flexible response to future demand growth and market changes in India and surrounding regions, and to deliver products in a timely manner that customers choose.

Through the new plant, and with the continued support of many stakeholders and local communities, Toyota will continue to contribute to the development of India’s automotive industry and society.

The joint venture between ArcelorMittal and Nippon Steel — AM/NS India — has commenced domestic production of Zagnelis Protect. This is a patented brand of steel with a zinc-aluminium-magnesium coating for the automotive industry. India has become the first market outside Europe where this product has been localised, which will reduce the country’s reliance on imports of high-tech steel. This is reported by Autocar.

Until now, around 8–10 per cent of critically important grades of automotive steel in India were imported due to the complexity of the coating technology. Given that over 30 million cars are produced in the country annually (and sales in the passenger car segment reached 4.7 million units in the 2025–2026 financial year), the localisation of such materials is of strategic importance.

Zagnelis Protect offers significant technological advantages over conventional galvanising:

Enhanced corrosion resistance. Particularly on cut edges and formed sections of components.
‘Self-healing’ effect. The coating’s ability to automatically repair minor damage.
High manufacturability. Excellent deep-drawing performance and reliable weldability.
Logistical optimisation. Reduced lead times and a guarantee of consistent quality for local plants.
Initially, the steel will be supplied for the production of micro-electric motor housings (window regulators, wing mirrors, windscreen wipers), of which there are between 20 and 30 units in every car. In future, the material will be used for chassis and interior body panels.

JSW Steel Ltd., India’s largest steel producer, has announced ambitious expansion plans. In the next fiscal year (FY 2027), the company’s capital expenditures will range from 220 to 240 billion rupees (approximately $2.5 billion). This is nearly 50% more than the previous year’s investments, which totaled 155.85 billion rupees. This was reported by Bloomberg.

JSW Steel’s investment activity is driven by the rapid development of India’s infrastructure. The Indian government is directing billions of dollars toward the construction of highways, ports, and airports, aiming to accelerate the country’s economic growth and transform it into a developed economy by 2047.

The company’s plans for capacity expansion:

by 2030, JSW Steel plans to increase its total capacity to 48.8 million tons per year (from the current 31.9 million tons);
The Board of Directors has approved an expansion of one of the subsidiary’s production capacity by 5 million tons per year. The cost of this project is 260 billion rupees, and commissioning is scheduled for the 2030 fiscal year.

According to CEO Jayanta Acharya, steel demand in India is expected to grow by 7–9% in the current 2027 fiscal year. At the same time, domestic metal prices are likely to remain within a stable range following sharp spikes in April and May.

The company considers geopolitical instability in the Middle East to be the main risk to further growth. This could lead to prolonged disruptions in supply chains, rising energy prices, and further intensification of inflationary pressures.

Royal Enfield is preparing for another big expansion in India. The company has announced plans to build a new manufacturing facility in Andhra Pradesh with an investment of around Rs 2,500 crore. The new plant is expected to come up in Tada, located in the Tirupati district.

For Royal Enfield, this step comes at a time when demand for its motorcycles continues to stay strong across India and international markets. From the Classic 350 to the Interceptor 650, the brand has steadily grown over the last few years, and its current production setup is already running close to full capacity.

The new project will move ahead in phases and will depend on future demand and market conditions. Final approval from the company’s board is still pending.

The company has already secured land for the upcoming facility in Andhra Pradesh. Tada is slowly becoming an important industrial hub due to its location and connectivity.

The upcoming factory will support future motorcycle production and help the company prepare for upcoming products as well.
