Schneider Electric, the global leader in digital transformation of energy management and automation, has announced the development of a 500,000 square feet manufacturing facility for its IT Business at Horizon Industrial Park near Shoolagiri, Tamil Nadu.
The project will be executed in two phases in partnership with Horizon Industrial Parks, a leading logistics and industrial infrastructure provider backed by Blackstone Real Estate funds. The first phase will feature a dust-free manufacturing unit, modern office spaces, and several advanced enhancements such as expanded industrial power capacity, state-of-the-art fire safety systems, and optimized workspace layouts. This phase will support an initial workforce of 1,500 people, including both direct and indirect employment.
The second phase will involve the construction of a high-spec, custom facility tailored to Schneider Electric’s advanced operational needs, with completion expected in seven months.
With this investment, Schneider Electric aims to boost production capacity and operational efficiency while leveraging the facility’s prime location for improved connectivity and distribution access across the Bengaluru and Chennai markets.
“This collaboration underscores our commitment to sustainability, efficiency, and operational excellence. The new facility will significantly enhance our manufacturing capabilities and allow us to incorporate cutting-edge technology and sustainable practices. With this investment, we aim to empower businesses, boost operational efficiency, and contribute meaningfully to the ‘Make in India’ initiative,” said Deepak Sharma, Zone President, Greater India, MD and CEO, Schneider Electric India.
Horizon Industrial Park in Hosur, the site of Schneider Electric’s upcoming facility, is pre-certified ‘Platinum’ by the Indian Green Building Council (IGBC), reflecting its commitment to sustainability and environmental standards. Schneider Electric’s new manufacturing unit will incorporate a range of eco-friendly design elements, including roof insulation using glass wool, rooftop solar panels to enhance thermal efficiency, and a 12-meter clear height pre-engineered building (PEB) design with skylights to maximize natural lighting. The facility will also feature advanced ventilation systems to ensure optimal air quality and energy efficiency.
As part of its integrated Building Management System (BMS), the facility will be equipped with electric vehicle (EV) charging stations, HVAC controls, and smart lighting sensors to minimize energy consumption. In the next phase of development, additional rooftop solar panels will be installed to further improve energy performance and reduce the facility’s overall carbon footprint.
“We are committed to providing innovative, tailored, and high-quality warehousing solutions for global and local corporations looking to expand their presence in India,” said Urvish Rambhia, Principal at Blackstone Real Estate.
