U.S.-based automotive systems leader Inteva Products LLC announced its plans to expand its Chakan manufacturing facility in Pune, India, in response to rising domestic automotive demand. This $3.3 million investment will boost production capacity by 70%, extending the plant's footprint to 85,000 square feet and adding 26,000 square feet of office space. The expansion will introduce new assembly lines for window regulators, latches, and motor assemblies, enhancing Inteva’s supply chain capabilities and supporting existing customers in India.
