Copeland, a global leader in compression technologies and controls solutions, has completed the first phase of its `500 crore investment at its Atit, India, manufacturing facility. The expansion strengthens Copeland’s capabilities in India by localising scroll hermetic compressor manufacturing, making Copeland the only company to manufacture scroll compressors in India. The completion of Phase One is marked by the successful delivery of the inaugural batch of 5 HP India-built scroll compressors, underscoring the company’s strong commitment to the ‘Make in India’ vision, which aims to position India as a global manufacturing hub.
As India’s HVACR market is projected to grow to USD 45.4 billion by 2033, facility plays a critical role in localising advanced technologies and reducing import dependence. With a strong focus on transport segments including railways, metro systems and e-bus applications, the Atit facility has grown into a diversified manufacturing hub producing compressors, condensing units and heat pumps that support the energy transition, adoption of low-Global Warming Potential (GWP) refrigerants and sustainable cold chain infrastructure.
Focusing on their perspective, Jagadish Keswani, President of India, Middle East & Africa for Copeland, said, “India has become a cornerstone of Copeland’s global manufacturing strategy. Our focus on localisation, sustainable refrigerant technology and advanced product platforms demonstrates our commitment to building a future-ready manufacturing ecosystem in India. These expansions strengthen our ability to serve customers worldwide while contributing to India’s industrial growth, supply chain resilience and climate goals.”
