“The company has invested approximately Rs 250 crore to set up this facility, which is expected to generate around 400 jobs. Currently we have a manufacturing capacity of 1,000 Hydraulic cylinders per day, and we are fully capable of doubling it if and when demand increases,” Kumar told reporters here.
This is Wipro’s sixth facility in India, after two units each in Chennai and Hindupur and one unit in Bengaluru, he said, adding that it will cater to domestic and international demand.
This vertical is Wipro Infrastructure Engineering’s hydraulic cylinder and components manufacturing business,
“A skilled workforce, coupled with automation, will lead to better quality products, higher productivity and also, better cost efficiency, and that is what we aim to establish.
“All the machinery we use here is manufactured in India and we do 100 per cent of our assembly, manufacturing, testing and packaging in-house,” Kumar added. The Jaipur plant has 166 employees and started operations in May 2024. “Among the global hydraulic system manufacturers, we are confident that we will position ourselves among the top three. Our recent acquisitions of Mailhot, JARP and Columbus further strengthen our position in the market,” Kumar added.
Wipro Hydraulics designs and manufactures tailor-made hydraulic cylinders for diverse segments such as construction and earthmoving, material and load handling, forestry, agriculture and livestock, mining and truck dump solutions.
It serves OEMs (original equipment manufacturers) like JCB, Tata Hitachi, Mahindra and MahindraHyundai, Volvo and Epiroc, among others.
“We are optimistic about the demand for construction equipment, which is growing at a rate of over 20 per cent for the last two years… We project that by 2030, India will become the second largest construction equipment manufacturing industry,” Wipro Hydraulics President Sitaram Ganeshan said.
With this new facility, Wipro Hydraulics now has 16 facilities across the world (India, Europe, USA and Brazil).
