By making an investment of US$16.5 million, TE Connectivity (TE) has recently announced the expansion of its manufacturing facility in Shirwal.
Through this expansion, the company is targeting to cater to the huge demand from the automotive industry. The second expansion is spread across approximately 16,700 square meters of manufacturing space, along with new manufacturing capabilities and an integrated tool shop.
The investment is part of TE Automotive’s long-term growth strategy in India, as the country strengthens its position as a major automotive manufacturing hub. According to the International Organisation of Motor Vehicle Manufacturers (OICA), India’s vehicle production reached 6.49 million units in 2025.
The expanded facility will introduce local stamping and plating capabilities, bringing tooling and production operations under one roof. Its flow-oriented manufacturing layout is designed to improve production efficiency and support increasing volumes. The expansion will enable the facility to achieve up to three times its current production capacity.
“As vehicles become more electrified and connected, Indian auto manufacturers need local manufacturing partners that can support increasingly complex requirements,” said Torsten Schierholz, SVP and GM Auto EMIA at TE Connectivity. He added that the investment would strengthen the company’s manufacturing capabilities in India and support customers through a combination of local expertise and global technology.
Established in 2009 and expanded in 2018, the Shirwal facility currently spans more than 36,300 square meters across 25 acres. Primarily serving the automotive sector, the site also supports TE’s Industrial and Commercial Transportation business in India.
