Vimag Labs launches Jhajjar plant, exports first motor systems batch

Vimag Labs has begun commercial production at its Jhajjar facility, exporting its first batch of motor and control systems. The company plans to invest Rs 50 crore to scale capacity, according to a statement.

The Jhajjar plant assembles propulsion systems used in electric vehicles and industrial machinery. The company did not disclose the export destination or volume of the initial batch, but the move follows a period of rising demand for locally manufactured components in the mobility sector.

With Rs 50 crore earmarked for expansion, the company joins a group of players building end-to-end production for high-power motor systems. Many manufacturers have historically relied on imported propulsion units, making efforts like Vimag’s notable for their potential to reduce supply-chain dependence.

The timing aligns with broader incentives for advanced manufacturing, though the company has not confirmed whether it has accessed those schemes. For now, the Jhajjar facility’s output remains modest, and the ability to secure long-term contracts with customers will determine whether the Rs 50 crore investment pays off.
