Overview

BENTELER Expands Manufacturing Hub in Pune

Germany's BENTELER Automotive is significantly expanding its presence in India by leasing over 1.36 lakh square feet of manufacturing space in Chakan, Pune. This expansion doubles its operational area at the Blackstone-backed Horizon Industrial Park to approximately 2.64 lakh square feet.

Strategic Shift to Local Production

The expanded facility will focus on the in-house production of tubes for torsion beams, a critical component for rear axle beams. Previously, these essential tubes were entirely imported. This strategic shift aims to bolster supply chain efficiency and grant the company greater control over production timelines within India.

'Make in India' Alignment

This investment arrives as the Indian government intensifies its push for domestic manufacturing under the 'Make in India' program. Policy incentives, including production-linked schemes and localization mandates, are drawing global manufacturers to increase local capacities. The automotive sector, a key beneficiary, is increasingly prioritizing local production of previously imported parts.
