Stäubli, the global industrial and mechatronic solutions provider, has announced a $10 million expansion of its manufacturing facility in Bangalore, strengthening its position in India’s rapidly growing solar photovoltaic (PV) sector and supporting the ‘Make in India’ initiative.
The expanded facility will feature advanced automated assembly lines and enhanced quality assurance systems dedicated to the production of MC4-Evo1 and MC4-Evo2 connectors, essential components that link solar modules to inverters and balance-of-system equipment. The expansion enables Stäubli to meet rising domestic demand for high-quality PV connectors and support global supply requirements.
“India is a key pillar in Stäubli’s global growth and manufacturing strategy,” said Gerald Vogt, CEO of Stäubli Group. “This investment strengthens our global supply capabilities and enables us to support customers worldwide with reliable, high-performance PV connector solutions produced to the highest quality and sustainability standards.”
India’s solar sector continues to expand rapidly, creating a growing need for dependable, locally manufactured components. The Bangalore facility’s expansion will allow higher production volumes, reduced lead times, and improved supply chain resilience for OEMs, EPC players, and asset owners.
“This expansion underscores our long-term commitment to India’s renewable energy journey,” said Gurupad Bhat, Managing Director, Stäubli Tec Systems India. “By strengthening local manufacturing, engineering, and skill development, we are supporting the solar ecosystem with globally benchmarked solutions while contributing to job creation and industrial growth.”
The facility incorporates cutting-edge automation and energy-efficient manufacturing processes and operates as a zero-discharge facility, aligned with stringent environmental standards. The expansion will also accelerate local application engineering and product development, enabling faster, market-specific innovation.
Stäubli currently serves customers across Delhi, Rajasthan, Gujarat, Chennai, and Karnataka, highlighting its strong nationwide footprint in the renewable energy ecosystem. The Bangalore plant will play a critical role in supporting both domestic and global markets as renewable energy adoption accelerates. The expansion also includes a local vendor development initiative, enhancing backward integration and strengthening India’s renewable energy manufacturing ecosystem.
The expanded facility began operations in January 2026.
