Japanese firm Kyoritsu Electric targets Indian factory automation sector

Kyoritsu Electric, a Japanese firm known for its industrial automation solutions, has signaled a strategic push into the Indian market. The company plans to introduce its range of automation equipment and services to Indian factories, targeting sectors such as automotive, electronics and consumer goods.

India's manufacturing sector is undergoing rapid modernization, with the government promoting initiatives like "Make in India" to boost domestic production. Kyoritsu's entry aligns with this trend, offering technologies that can improve efficiency, reduce downtime and enhance product quality.

While specific investment figures were not disclosed, the firm indicated that it will collaborate with local partners for distribution, installation and after‑sales support. Industry analysts expect the move to increase competition among automation providers and accelerate technology adoption across Indian plants.

Kyoritsu Electric's focus on factory automation reflects a broader shift among Japanese manufacturers seeking growth opportunities abroad as domestic demand plateaus. The company's presence could also create new jobs in engineering, service and training within India.
