The Japanese connector manufacturer will produce precision connectors and electronic components.
The company signed a MOU with the TN government , the plant, set to begin operations in 2027, marks Hirose’s entry into domestic Indian production after years of serving the market through imports.
Precision connectors enable stable power and data transmission across electronic systems—critical components in smartphones, electric vehicles, advanced driver-assistance systems, and industrial machinery. As India’s electronics manufacturing ecosystem expands and automotive electrification accelerates, local production of these components reduces supply chain dependencies.
Hirose currently operates eight manufacturing units globally across Japan, China, South Korea, Indonesia, and Malaysia. India facility extends that network into local growing electronics corridor. The state has positioned itself as a preferred destination for global electronics and automotive suppliers, with infrastructure and policy support designed to attract technology manufacturing.
For component manufacturers, proximity to end-use customers—particularly in automotive and consumer electronics—reduces logistics costs and lead times. India’s electronics production-linked incentive schemes and the push for local value addition in EVs create favorable conditions for connector suppliers to establish assembly and manufacturing operations.
