Delta Electronics Commits NT$7.23 Billion to Smart Manufacturing Expansion in India and Thailand
Taiwan-based Delta Electronics Inc. has unveiled a strategic NT$7.23 billion (US$245 million) investment plan targeting India and Thailand, marking a major step toward strengthening its smart manufacturing capabilities and reinforcing its footprint across South and Southeast Asia. While a planned expansion in Slovakia was shelved, Delta remains firmly committed to driving regional innovation, digital transformation, and production efficiency.
This ambitious investment underscores Delta’s response to surging global demand for energy-efficient technologies, industrial automation, and intelligent infrastructure. With geopolitical shifts reshaping global supply chains, Delta’s focus on India and Thailand reflects its long-term strategy of diversification and resilience in rapidly growing markets.
Thailand: Gateway to ASEAN Manufacturing
Delta’s Thailand operations, already a cornerstone of its global production network, are set to receive NT$5.93 billion. According to Thailand’s Board of Investment (BOI), the country remains a preferred hub for electronics and electric vehicle (EV) manufacturing due to strong infrastructure and export orientation.
The fresh capital will fund facility upgrades, workforce development, and the integration of intelligent manufacturing systems, including robotics, real-time analytics, and automation. Delta also earmarked NT$890,000 for new machinery, accelerating its drive toward Industry 4.0 capabilities.
“This investment reflects Delta’s confidence in Thailand as a high-tech manufacturing base,” said a spokesperson from Delta Electronics Thailand. “We’re expanding to meet regional demand and support Thailand’s goals of becoming a digital economy leader.”
The Thai government’s “Thailand 4.0” initiative aligns with Delta’s strategy, promoting smart industries and positioning the country as an innovation-driven economy. Delta’s commitment contributes to Thailand’s GDP and export competitiveness while creating high-skilled employment opportunities.
India: Scaling Innovation for a Digital Future
In India, Delta Electronics has approved a capital increase of NT$410,000 to boost its local subsidiary’s capabilities. The expansion builds on the company’s strong foundation in industrial automation, renewable energy, data centers, and EV charging solutions. Delta’s facilities in Hosur and Krishnagiri have become key contributors to its global supply chain.
According to India’s Ministry of Electronics and Information Technology (MeitY), the country’s electronics production is expected to reach US$300 billion by 2026. Delta’s increased investment supports Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s “Make in India” and “Digital India” campaigns, promoting domestic manufacturing and innovation.
“With India’s economy showing sustained momentum and demand for smart infrastructure on the rise, Delta’s scaling up of operations is timely,” said an industry analyst from Invest India. “The company is well-placed to leverage India’s demographic advantage and expanding digital infrastructure.”
Delta also plans to deepen partnerships with Indian OEMs, enhance R&D capacity, and invest in sustainability measures aligned with India’s net-zero goals.
Intelligent Manufacturing: Delta’s Vision for the Future
A key pillar of Delta’s global strategy is the implementation of intelligent manufacturing systems, which will first be fully deployed outside Taiwan at the Thai subsidiary. These systems integrate smart sensors, automated quality checks, and predictive maintenance powered by AI — enabling greater agility and output.
The move signals a shift from traditional factory models to smart, data-driven ecosystems, allowing Delta to rapidly scale production based on regional demand. It also positions the company to respond more efficiently to global market fluctuations and supply chain disruptions.
“Digital transformation in manufacturing is essential,” stated Delta Electronics’ Chairman Yancey Hai. “Our investments in smart factories reflect our commitment to innovation, sustainability, and customer-centricity.”
Setback in Slovakia Won’t Derail Global Growth
While Delta initially planned to acquire land in Nemsová, Slovakia, for NT$550 million, the deal collapsed due to contractual disagreements. The proposed site, near the Czech border, would have enhanced Delta’s European footprint.
Despite the setback, the company emphasized that it remains committed to its European operations and will explore alternative opportunities to meet regional demand. Delta currently operates facilities in several EU countries, contributing to its balanced global supply chain.
“Delta’s diversified investment model ensures agility,” said a company statement. “Our expansion in Asia supports long-term growth and complements our global vision.”
Delta Electronics: A Global Leader with Local Impact
Founded in 1971, Delta Electronics has grown into a global provider of power and thermal management solutions, with manufacturing sites in Taiwan, China, Thailand, India, Europe, and the United States. It has received numerous awards for sustainability and innovation, including listings in the Dow Jones Sustainability Indices.
Its 2025 investments reflect confidence in high-growth markets and a firm belief in the transformative power of smart technology. With a focus on energy-efficient solutions, Delta is aligned with the global shift toward greener, smarter infrastructure.
By channeling capital into India and Thailand, Delta reinforces its position as a future-ready global brand — poised to lead the electronics industry through the next wave of innovation.
