Zetwerk, part of the $2 billion Zetwerk Manufacturing Business, has officially opened its largest electronics manufacturing plant in Tamil Nadu, marking a significant milestone in India’s electronics manufacturing journey. Located in Pannur, 55 km from Chennai in the Tiruvallur district, the new facility spans 15 acres and is expected to enhance India’s position in the global Electronics System Design and Manufacturing (ESDM) market. This development aligns with India’s goal of a $500 billion ESDM industry and Tamil Nadu’s ambition to reach a $1 trillion economy.
Union Minister for Electronics and Information Technology, Ashwini Vaishnaw, inaugurated the state-of-the-art facility. He expressed his enthusiasm for Zetwerk’s commitment to strengthening India’s manufacturing sector, stating, “As Zetwerk launches its 7th factory, we reaffirm our commitment to supporting Indian companies in becoming global leaders.” The new facility is a part of Zetwerk’s ₹1,000 crore investment and will produce electronic components for a variety of sectors, including consumer durables and IT hardware.
The plant’s production capabilities include five Surface-Mount Technology (SMT) lines, Manual Insertion (MI) lines, potting, conformal coating, and extensive testing processes. It will manufacture control boards for products like washing machines, refrigerators, air conditioners, and IT hardware. Once fully operational, the facility is expected to employ around 1,200 skilled workers.
In addition to this new facility, Union Minister Vaishnaw announced the development of two major Electronics Manufacturing Clusters at Pillaipakkam and Manallur, with an investment of ₹1,112 crore. This initiative will significantly boost the electronics manufacturing sector in Tamil Nadu.
Amrit Acharya, CEO and Co-founder of Zetwerk, emphasized the importance of this facility as an export hub, aiming to leverage Indo-US trade opportunities and solidify India’s role in global supply chains. He also revealed that Zetwerk plans to go public in the next 15-24 months.
With this latest development, Zetwerk is poised to continue its rapid growth and contribute significantly to India’s manufacturing revolution.
