Escorts Kubota Starts New Greenfield Plant in UP

Escorts Kubota Limited has started work on a new greenfield manufacturing plant at Sector 10, Gautam Buddha Nagar, in the Yamuna Expressway Industrial Development Authority (YEIDA) area of Uttar Pradesh. The plant will be built on 154 acres and will be developed in multiple phases.

Escorts Kubota to Invest Over Rs 2,000 Cr

Escorts Kubota will invest more than Rs 2,000 crore in the new manufacturing plant. The project is part of the company’s plan to increase its production capacity and support its long-term growth. Once all phases are completed, the plant is expected to become one of the largest manufacturing facilities in the Kubota Group worldwide.

The plant will make tractors, farm implements, construction equipment and engines. These products will be supplied to both Indian and global markets. The project is also expected to create many jobs in the region as the plant expands.

Phase 1 to Add 60,000 Tractor Capacity

In the first phase, the plant will add production capacity of up to 60,000 tractors and 15,000 construction equipment units every year. Supporting infrastructure and other facilities will also be developed as part of this phase.

The project will be funded through money received from the earlier preferential issue of shares to Kubota Corporation, along with the company’s internal funds. Escorts Kubota already has manufacturing capacity of around 1,70,000 tractors and 10,000 construction equipment units per year.

Plant Location Near Noida International Airport

YEIDA allotted the land to Escorts Kubota after the company received a Letter of Intent from the Government of Uttar Pradesh. The new plant is located near the Yamuna Expressway and close to the Noida International Airport at Jewar. The location will provide road and air connectivity for product distribution across India and exports to other countries.

The plant will also have access to the engineering and supplier network of the National Capital Region (NCR).

Plant to Support Kubota’s Global Plans

The new facility is part of Kubota Corporation’s Mid-Term Business Plan 2030, which identifies India as one of the key growth markets for the group.

According to Shingo Hanada, President, Representative Director and CEO of Kubota Corporation, India is one of the world’s largest and fastest-growing tractor markets. He said the new plant shows the growing role of India in Kubota’s plans and its aim to make India a manufacturing and engineering hub for the group.

Nikhil Nanda, Chairman and Managing Director of Escorts Kubota Limited, said the new facility is one of the company’s largest investments in manufacturing capacity. He added that the plant will serve farmers and construction contractors in India and international markets.

Integrated Plant to Make Tractors and Equipment

According to Akira Kato, Deputy Managing Director of Escorts Kubota Limited, the new facility will be an integrated manufacturing campus. It will include machining, assembly, testing, engine production and a mother warehouse for spare parts at one location. The company will use the Kubota Production System, automation and digital quality control from the start. The plant will also have energy-efficient utilities and safety measures.

The new facility is expected to increase Escorts Kubota’s production capacity in the coming years and support the company’s plans for the Indian and global markets.
