To expand its Asia Pacific footprint, Diehl Controls sets up an Indian subsidiary, eyeing to tap the fast‑growing industrial and e‑mobility sectors in the region.
Diehl Controls, headquartered in Germany, has set up a new subsidiary in India, named Diehl Controls Electronics India Pvt Ltd, as part of its ongoing international expansion. The company said the move is aimed at strengthening its presence in the Asia‑Pacific region.
According to the company, the decision to establish operations in India is intended to improve proximity to customers, increase understanding of local market conditions, and provide greater operational flexibility.
The subsidiary will serve existing customers that are expanding into India, while also targeting new business opportunities.
Diehl Controls has identified India’s growing electric mobility sector as a priority area, particularly in the electric two‑ and three-wheeler segment. The company said it plans to apply its expertise in electronics to support developments in this market.
In addition to e‑mobility, the firm expects demand growth in other sectors, including heating, ventilation, air conditioning and refrigeration (HVAC/R), and in household and commercial appliances. Production will follow a “local for local” approach, with products manufactured in India for the domestic market.
The new subsidiary will operate with a flexible structure designed to adapt to market changes. It may also act as a base for future collaborations, including partnerships, joint ventures, and regional investments.
However, the company has not disclosed details about the size of its planned investment, production capacity, or timelines for product rollout.
The establishment of Diehl Controls Electronics India comes amid increasing interest from international manufacturers in India’s industrial and mobility sectors, driven by rising domestic demand and government policies promoting local manufacturing.
