Data Center Equipment Manufacturing NIDEC has launched a 600 crore manufacturing plant in Hubballi. The facility is expected to create 800 direct jobs.
The facility was established by MB Patil, Karnataka’s major industry minister.
Speaking at the event, Minister Patil said the new factory is expected to provide more jobs in addition to the initial 800 jobs. “The facility initially created 800 jobs, but once the factory is fully functional, it is expected that the number will rise to 3,000 jobs,” he added that 20 acres of land have been allocated to the battery solution unit.
The plant uses advanced Japanese and French technology to manufacture large machinery with 2 MW, 3 MW and 4 MW capacity essential for data centers. These machines serve domestic markets and are exported to the US, UAE and European markets.
In addition to heavy machinery, the plant also produces power backup generators, wind generators, alternators for data centers, EV motors for three wheels, four-wheeled vehicles, trucks, elevator motors, electronic drive MVs and LVs.
Emphasizing the government’s focus on industrial growth in North Karnataka, Patil said the state has introduced several concessions and facilities under the new industrial policy. “The NIDEC project ensured timely promotion by allocating the necessary land within just two years,” he added.
Addressing concerns about water use, the Minister made the following clarification: “The Krishna River Water Court has allocated four TMCs for industrial purposes, which currently only uses 0.5 TMC. Furthermore, it has not diverted agricultural water. Furthermore, the industry only provides water downstream from Hikkar Dam.”
