Ingersoll Rand opens new manufacturing facility in Sanand
Ingersoll Rand (India) Limited, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Ingersoll Rand Inc., a global provider of mission-critical flow creation and life science and industrial solutions, today announced the inauguration of its state-of-the-art manufacturing facility in Sanand, Gujarat. This marks the company’s newest manufacturing facility in India, underscoring its commitment to innovation, sustainability, and regional growth. In its first phase, the site will have an annual capacity of over 24,000 units per annum with further phased investment planned to support expansion.
The new manufacturing facility represents one of Ingersoll Rand’s most significant investments in India and is expected to begin production by the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2025. With the existing facility operating at full capacity of 60,000 unit per annum, the Sanand facility will unlock additional manufacturing capacity and reflects Ingersoll Rand’s alignment with India’s “Make in India” initiative — a strategy that complements the company’s global export ambitions and commitment to precision, reliability, and energy efficiency, while staying true to its purpose of Making Life Better.
Speaking on the occasion, Sunil Khanduja, Managing Director, Ingersoll Rand India, said: “Building on over a century of presence in India, this investment reinforces our commitment to the region, enabling delivery of advanced global technologies tailored for local needs. The facility highlights our focus on sustainable manufacturing, world-class talent, and India’s growing role in global innovation.”
“India is one of our fastest-growing markets, and the Sanand facility gives us the scale, flexibility, and technology to serve our customers better,” said Gareth Topping, Senior Vice President and General Manager, Compression Systems and Services EMEIA. “This investment underscores our multi-brand, multi-channel strategy and strengthens our ability to serve customers in the region more effectively, drive innovation, and uphold global standards of manufacturing precision.”
Facility Details
The state-of-the-art facility spans 65,856 square meters, with a built-up area of 24,527 square meters and an additional 12,000 square meters allocated for a second phase of expansion. The Sanand facility will initially manufacture engineered-to-order products such as centrifugal compressors, refrigeration dryers, gas compressors, large reciprocating compressors (LRBU), and nitrogen generators for industries ranging from pharmaceuticals, electronics and semiconductors, defense, textiles, engineering, automotive, to power.
Sustainability and Innovation
Ingersoll Rand’s Sanand facility is designed to operate at the intersection of advanced manufacturing and environmental responsibility. The facility incorporates 100% green power, zero-liquid discharge, rainwater harvesting, wastewater recycling, organic composting, and acoustic enclosures, with a commitment to achieving net-zero operations within five years. It also integrates cutting-edge technologies including IoT-enabled monitoring systems, AI-driven predictive maintenance, and digital tools like System Performance Manager powered by Ecoplant and Helix. Combined with in-house R&D labs, these capabilities drive local innovation and customization, making it both a manufacturing hub and an innovation center.
