Autoliv has announced its plan to build a new inflator manufacturing plant in India, focused toward supporting its strong Indian market position, it said.
Autoliv India has its corporate office, Engineering Centre, and Airbag facilities in Bangalore. The new inflator plant will be built close to Chennai and will serve Indian demand. The localization of inflator production will meet customer requirements while mitigating global supply chain disruptions and fluctuations. The new inflator plant will further encourage sustainable market growth in India from global and local OEMs, Autoliv said.
