CNH Industrial NV (NYSE: CNH), a global manufacturer of agricultural and construction equipment, has broken ground on its new greenfield manufacturing facility at the Yamuna Expressway Industrial Development Authority (YEIDA) in Uttar Pradesh. The project marks a significant step in the company’s long-term investment plans for India and strengthens the country’s position as a strategic manufacturing and export hub for CNH.
The groundbreaking ceremony was attended by Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath; Suzanne Heywood, Chair of the CNH Board of Directors; Gerrit Marx, CEO, CNH; and Narinder Mittal, President, CNH India Region. Spread across 100 acres, the new facility will manufacture tractors and engines for domestic and international markets, expanding CNH’s production capabilities in India. At full scale, the plant is expected to have an annual production capacity of 100,000 tractors. The first phase is scheduled to become operational by mid-2028.
Located near Jewar Airport, the YEIDA facility will complement CNH’s existing manufacturing operations in Greater Noida, which produce tractors and engines, and Pune, which manufactures balers, combine harvesters and sugarcane harvesters. Its location is expected to leverage the region’s connectivity and industrial ecosystem to support manufacturing and exports.
Commenting on the development, Gerrit Marx, Chief Executive Officer, CNH, said, “India is playing an increasingly strategic role within CNH’s global manufacturing and technology ecosystem. The groundbreaking of our new facility at YEIDA marks an important step in expanding our manufacturing footprint and strengthening our ability to serve customers in India and around the world. This investment reflects our confidence in India’s manufacturing capabilities, engineering talent and long-term growth potential, while further strengthening the country’s role in CNH’s global operations.”
Narinder Mittal, President, CNH India Region, said, “We are committed to bringing world class technology and innovation to Indian farmers, supporting mechanization and economic growth. Building on the legacy of our first tractor plant in Greater Noida, this new facility will strengthen and expand our existing footprint, leveraging proximity to our current operations and the state’s strong connectivity and industrial ecosystem. We are proud to contribute to the nation’s industrial growth and economic development, while strengthening our commitment to ‘Make in India’ for domestic and global markets.”
The facility will incorporate digitally enabled manufacturing technologies, including robotics, automation and AI-powered quality systems, to improve production efficiency, precision and quality.
