Musashi India, a subsidiary of Japan's Musashi Seimitsu Industries, has completed the expansion of its manufacturing facility in Bengaluru, increasing its production capacity for two-wheeler and four-wheeler transmission components. The expanded facility is set to become fully operational by December 2025.
The Phase 2 expansion adds 11,000 square meters to the existing plant, bringing the total facility area to 32,000 square meters. Production capacity will increase from 4 million to 6.5 million sets of scooter and motorcycle transmissions annually. The company expects the facility's annual output value to rise from ₹5.5 billion to ₹10 billion.
The expanded facility includes new capabilities in forging, machining, and heat treatment. It will produce components for 100-750cc motorcycles, 100-125cc scooters, and two-wheeler and three-wheeler e-axles, serving both domestic and export markets. The plant will also function as a prototype and testing hub for internal combustion engine transmissions and e-axles.
Musashi has equipped the facility with automation technologies including gear grinding, automated gear checking, and camera-based inspection systems. The production lines use robotic, gantry, and pick-and-place automation solutions.
The facility incorporates a 2.16 million kWh rooftop solar installation and operates with over 96 percent green energy from hydro, wind, rooftop, and captive renewable sources. The plant also features natural ventilation systems and emission control devices for power generators, aligned with Musashi's goal of achieving carbon neutrality across its value chain by 2038.
Naoya Nishimura, CEO of Musashi Auto Parts India and Africa Region, said the facility was constructed within 18 months and represents the largest integrated manufacturing facility under one roof within the Musashi Group. He noted that the expansion positions the company to serve the electric vehicle supply chain and next-generation mobility solutions.
Musashi India is the country's largest manufacturer of two-wheeler and four-wheeler transmission components. The company serves automotive original equipment manufacturers globally, producing differential assemblies, transmission gears and assemblies, and linkage and suspension products.
