Delta Aims to Double Workforce in India
Delta Electronics India Managing Director Niranjan Nayak outlines ambitious growth strategy
Taiwanese technology leader Delta Electronics has unveiled plans to significantly expand its operations in India by nearly doubling its workforce over the next five years. The company aims to grow from its current 3,500 employees to approximately 6,500.
“We are planning to double the overall Delta India human capital, which will enable us to serve both domestic and global markets,” said Niranjan Nayak, Managing Director of Delta Electronics India.
A key focus of this expansion will be the company’s research and development efforts. Delta currently employs around 400 R&D engineers in India who contribute to the development of products for both local and international markets. “By 2030, we aim to grow that number to over 1,000 R&D engineers. This is the target we are working towards,” Mr. Nayak added.
As part of its long-term commitment to India, Delta has established a large manufacturing facility in Krishnagiri. “This plant supports our ‘local for local’ strategy—designing, manufacturing, and selling in India—as well as serving global export demands,” said Mr. Nayak. “We’re heavily investing in R&D to better understand and meet local needs, with a focus on building a strong, local design ecosystem.”
Delta Electronics India also has ambitious plans in the electric vehicle (EV) infrastructure space, having previously announced its goal to capture over 40% of the EV charging station market in India.
Commenting on the company’s industrial automation business, Mr. Nayak noted, “We are aggressively expanding in this area. Year after year, we’ve seen significant growth. With rising investments in manufacturing and a strong labour force, the need for automation in India is becoming increasingly apparent.”
He added that Delta is also exploring how artificial intelligence (AI) can enhance automation solutions: “We are analyzing the specific requirements of the Indian market, which can differ from more developed countries. Our aim is to strike the right balance between human labour, automation, and AI to deliver the most effective solutions.”
