Delta Expanding India Operations With $500 Mn Investment

Taiwanese power and energy management company Delta Electronics is reportedly investing $500 Mn to expand its presence in India. 

The investment, announced in 2015 under the ‘Make in India’ initiative, aims to boost its manufacturing and operations in the country, a top official told PTI.

Since entering India in 2003, Delta Electronics has made significant investments through its local arm, Benjamin Lin, president of Delta Electronics India, said at Elecrama 2025.

“India is a key market for Delta, and we are committed to driving its industrial and energy transformation with our advanced solutions. Our strategic investment in the Krishnagiri facility underscores our dedication to local innovation, manufacturing excellence, and sustainability,” he added.

Delta Electronics is currently investing $500 Mn in India, which includes the expansion of its Krishnagiri facility, added Lin.

He highlighted that the investment aims to strengthen India’s self-reliance in smart manufacturing and energy infrastructure while adhering to global industry standards. He also mentioned that part of this expansion is expected to be operational by the end of 2025.

It is pertinent to note that the 125-acre Krishnagiri project was set to be developed in five stages, including a special economic zone (SEZ).

Delta Electronics manufactures solutions for electric mobility, telecom, and data centre energy efficiency at its Krishnagiri facility, about 90 km from Bengaluru.

Delta Electronics India, a subsidiary of Delta Group, has been operating since 2003 as a leading power and energy management company. It specialises in power electronics, automation, and infrastructure, with market leadership in telecom power, EV charging, and display solutions. 

The company also offers industrial automation, UPS & data centre solutions, rail transport, and energy storage solutions. With 16 regional offices, three manufacturing facilities (Rudrapur, Gurugram, Krishnagiri), and two R&D centres (Gurugram, Bengaluru), Delta has a strong nationwide presence. 

With sustainability a key priority, EV adoption in India has surged, driven by startups and government policies. Despite a late start, the market is growing rapidly, with players like Ather Energy, Altigreen, BluSmart, and Exponent Energy offering innovative solutions. The Indian EV market is projected to reach $110.74 Bn by 2029.

Indian EV startups are driving sustainable mobility, energy infrastructure, and battery management solutions while reducing carbon emissions and offering cost-effective alternatives to fossil fuels.

The development comes at a time when the Indian government plans to cap the share of total investment foreign automakers can allocate to charging infrastructure at 5%.

This provision aims to ensure EV manufacturers focus more on vehicle production rather than charging networks. Any investment beyond the 5% threshold will not be considered part of their committed investment in the country.

Meanwhile, Elon Musk-led Tesla, which is preparing to enter the Indian market, has reportedly started arrangements to ship a few thousand electric cars to a port near Mumbai in the coming months. Additionally, the EV giant has finalised two locations for its showrooms in Delhi and Mumbai as part of its expansion strategy in India.
