Hitachi Energy India to Invest ₹1,000 Crore in Tamil Nadu, Creating 1,000 High-Skilled Jobs

Hitachi Energy India has signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with the Government of Tamil Nadu to invest approximately ₹1,000 crore over the next three to five years, reinforcing its long-term commitment to India’s power and energy infrastructure. The agreement was signed in the presence of the Hon’ble Chief Minister of Tamil Nadu, Thiru C. Joseph Vijay.

As part of the investment, the company will expand its Global Technology and Innovation Center (GTIC) in Chennai, creating around 1,000 high-value technical jobs. The investment also includes the establishment of a new manufacturing line for semiconductor-based HVAC-to-HVDC conversion equipment, strengthening domestic manufacturing capabilities for advanced power transmission technologies.

Hitachi Energy already has a strong footprint in Tamil Nadu through its Global Technology and Innovation Center in Chennai and its HVDC valve manufacturing facility in Chengalpattu. The latest investment further enhances the state’s position as a global hub for next-generation power technologies, engineering innovation, and high-value manufacturing.

The initiative aligns with Tamil Nadu’s vision of accelerating clean energy adoption, promoting advanced manufacturing, and fostering deep technology capabilities. It also supports India’s growing demand for modern grid infrastructure and efficient high-voltage transmission solutions essential for integrating renewable energy into the national power network.
