Knorr-Bremse investing €200m in Chennai facility

Knorr-Bremse is investing up to €200 million over the next five years in a modular campus in Chennai, India, which will include production of braking system components for commercial vehicles.

Products manufactured in Chennai will serve both the Indian market and global export, with operations scheduled to commence at the end of 2027.

The facility will cover approximately 188,000 sqm and is designed to host up to 3,500 employees in the long term.

It will complement Knorr-Bremse’s existing development and production sites in Pune and Palwal.

Marc Llistosella, chief executive of Knorr-Bremse, said the future campus “enables us to connect global capabilities even more closely, make processes more efficient, and accelerate projects”.
