NTN to Invest $14 Million to Expand Haryana Auto Parts Facility, Boosts Local Sourcing
Japanese auto parts manufacturer NTN Corporation has announced a $14 million (₹120 crore) investment to upgrade and expand its manufacturing facility in Haryana, India. The move underscores the company’s commitment to deepen its local footprint and strengthen India’s evolving automotive supply chain.
The investment aims to modernize NTN’s Haryana factory and enhance its capacity to meet growing demand from both domestic and global automakers. As India’s automotive market surges, NTN plans to increase local procurement and supplier partnerships, reducing dependency on imports and aligning with the government’s “Make in India” initiative.
This expansion is part of NTN’s broader strategy to integrate more deeply with India’s manufacturing ecosystem, creating a more agile and cost-efficient production network. The company expects the upgraded facility to improve output quality, strengthen vendor collaboration, and respond faster to market shifts in vehicle and component demand.
Industry observers note that the investment will also benefit Haryana’s cluster of auto component suppliers, who could see increased orders and collaborative opportunities. NTN’s commitment reflects a wider trend among global component makers diversifying supply chains while leveraging India’s skilled workforce and growing automotive exports.
In essence, NTN’s $14 million upgrade isn’t just about scaling production, it’s a signal of confidence in India’s industrial potential, emphasizing localization, sustainability, and supply-chain resilience at a time when global manufacturers are rethinking dependencies.
Editor’s View:
NTN’s Haryana investment may appear modest in scale, but its timing is strategic. As India’s auto component industry grows beyond ₹3.3 lakh crore, global players are reinforcing their presence closer to OEM hubs. For tyre and parts manufacturers, this localisation wave translates into stronger regional ecosystems, shorter logistics cycles, quicker deliveries, and lower import reliance.
For the tyre industry, it’s another reminder that localisation is no longer optional. As global suppliers like NTN anchor themselves in India, the ripple effects will push for domestic rubber sourcing, improved logistics, and cross-tier integration, strengthening India’s position as an automotive manufacturing powerhouse.
