OPmobility Opens New Plant in Maharashtra; Aims To Double India Sales By 2030

French automotive technology supplier OPmobility has expanded its manufacturing footprint in India with a new facility in Badhawaldi, Maharashtra, as part of its plan to more than double sales in India by 2030. 

The new Badhalwadi plant is OPmobility’s first site in India to integrate both exterior systems and energy storage systems within a single facility. It will supply to Indian and international automakers, serving both domestic and export markets. 

The company has also begun construction of another plant in Kharkhoda, Haryana, further cementing India’s role as a key growth hub in its global operations. The Kharkhoda site, whose groundbreaking took place in August 2025, is scheduled to start operations in early 2026 and will produce energy storage systems.

“India is a strategic country for OPmobility, with a fast-growing automotive industry and a platform of skilled workforce,” said Laurent Favre, Chief Executive Officer of OPmobility. “Having developed strong partnerships with international and Indian automakers, the group aims at more than doubling its sales in the country by 2030. This will notably contribute to one of the pillars of our strategy, which is the geographical diversification of our sales.”

India is currently the world’s third-largest automotive market, and vehicle output is projected to grow at over 5% annually between 2025 and 2030. OPmobility estimates that one out of every three vehicles produced in India is already equipped with its components.

The company currently operates five plants and four R&D centers in India, supporting both local and global programs. It plans to add four more plants by the end of the decade. It’s also expanding its engineering and digital operations. OPmobility’s dedicated software arm, OP’nSoft, has established a new center in Bengaluru, to strengthen its embedded software and digital engineering capabilities.

Headquartered in France, OPmobility is a leader in sustainable mobility solutions. It operates 150 plants and 40 R&D centers across 28 countries, employing nearly 38,900 people.

In 2024, the group reported economic revenue of €11.6 billion, driven by four core business units—exterior & lighting systems, complex modules, energy storage systems and battery and hydrogen electrification solutions.
