Mahindra Industrial Park Chennai Limited (MIPCL), a joint venture between Mahindra World City Developers Limited and Sumitomo Corporation of Japan, has marked a key milestone with the commencement of operations of Mitsubishi Electric India Private Limited’s air conditioner and compressor manufacturing facility at Origins by Mahindra in Chennai.

Spread across 52 acres within the integrated industrial cluster, the new facility represents a significant scale-up of Mitsubishi Electric India’s manufacturing footprint in the country. Developed with an investment of approximately Rs 2.1 Billion, the project underlines the company’s long-term commitment to India while further reinforcing Tamil Nadu’s position as a preferred destination for high-value, technology-led manufacturing.

The facility was inaugurated by the Hon’ble Chief Minister of Tamil Nadu, Thiru M.K. Stalin, through a virtual plaque unveiling. With an annual production capacity of 300,000 indoor and outdoor room air conditioners and 650,000 compressors, the expansion is expected to contribute to the development of a strong regional supplier ecosystem and aligns closely with the Government of India’s Make in India initiative.

At the inauguration, Hon’ble Chief Minister Thiru M.K. Stalin said, “Chennai continues to serve as the manufacturing backbone of Tamil Nadu, anchored by a deep and well-established industrial ecosystem. The inauguration of Mitsubishi Electric India’s new air conditioner and compressor manufacturing facility reflects the state’s growing potential and our commitment to enabling businesses from India and across the world to strengthen manufacturing, expand operations, and grow sustainably in Tamil Nadu.”

Atsushi Takase, Managing Director, Mitsubishi Electric India, highlighted the strategic importance of the expansion, stating, “India is witnessing a rapid growth for energy-efficient and high-quality air-conditioning solutions. This facility will support this growing demand through local manufacturing, while enabling us to respond faster to customer needs, strengthen quality control, and ensure sustainable operations. It will position India as a core hub within Mitsubishi Electric’s global air conditioning business. Aligned with the progressive industrial vision of the Tamil Nadu government, this investment underscores our long-term commitment to India, Tamil Nadu, and the country’s manufacturing ambitions.”

Vikram Goel, Chief Business Officer – Industrial, Mahindra Lifespace Developers Limited, said, “The expansion of Mitsubishi Electric India’s manufacturing operations at Origins by Mahindra reflects the strength of our integrated industrial cluster model. We focus on building future-ready ecosystems that combine world-class infrastructure, sustainability-led development, and seamless connectivity. The continued expansion of large global manufacturers like Mitsubishi Electric India within our developments reinforces the trust placed by these brands in our platform and our ability to support long-term industrial growth.”

Strategically located on NH16, Origins by Mahindra, Chennai falls within the influence zones of the Chennai–Bengaluru Industrial Corridor and the Chennai–Visakhapatnam Industrial Corridor. The cluster also offers proximity to the ports of Chennai, Ennore and Kattupalli, enabling efficient logistics and supply-chain operations for manufacturing-led businesses.

The expansion further strengthens Origins by Mahindra’s growing ecosystem of global manufacturers and reinforces Mahindra Lifespaces’ commitment to enabling sustainable, high-quality industrial development aligned with India’s broader manufacturing ambitions.

With over a century of experience, Mitsubishi Electric Corporation is a global leader in electrical and electronic equipment across sectors including industrial technology, energy, transportation and building systems. In India, Mitsubishi Electric continues to expand its portfolio across air conditioners, factory automation and industrial systems, and semiconductors and devices, supporting the country’s evolving manufacturing and technology landscape.
