IMI has announced a major investment in India with the launch of a new manufacturing and engineering facility in Chennai, Tamil Nadu, strengthening its regional operations and production capabilities.

Located at Hiranandani Industrial Park, the site began operations in April 2026 and is gradually taking over activities from IMI’s existing facility in Sri City, Andhra Pradesh.

The plant will manufacture and test IMI CCI products, including turbine bypass valves, control valves, desuperheaters and hydraulic supply units, while operating under the company’s global quality management systems.

The new facility also consolidates IMI’s regional office and warehouse operations into a single location, improving operational efficiency and customer service.

Chungduk Suh, President of Power & Nuclear for Process Automation at IMI, said: “India is both an important market and manufacturing base for many of our industry-leading valve technologies. This significant investment puts us in a prime position to attract and retain the region’s top talent, deliver outstanding technologies to our clients and improve our environmental performance.”

The Chennai investment forms part of IMI’s broader global expansion strategy, following recent manufacturing and engineering site developments in the UK, Italy, the United States and Brazil. -OGN/TradeArabia News Service
