A powerful statement has been made in the face of obvious symptoms of slowdown impacting not just the Indian economy – with sluggish manufacturing growth pegged at 7% – but the global one too. Meritor India recently inaugurated an axle assembly facility and a state-of-the-art research and development centre at Automotive Axles in Mysore. Automotive Axles is a joint venture between Meritor Inc. and Kalyani Group that manufactures drive and non-drive axles, front steer axles, specialty and defence axles besides drum and disc brakes and suspensions.

Meritor India has manufacturing facilities spread across Mysore, Jamshedpur, Hosur and Pantnagar, and its engineering centres are present in Bengaluru and Mysore. With an aftermarket distribution centre in Pune, the company boasts of over 120 retail outlets across the country and also has presence in Sri Lanka, Bangladesh and Nepal.

Speaking on the occasion, Jay Craig, CEO – President, Meritor Inc., said: “This is part of our global business growth and the new facility in India supports our strategic plan to retain our market leadership with best-in-class products and services.”

Presiding over the inauguration was Dr. Baba N. Kalyani, Chairman of Kalyani Group, who shared: “We are capable of evolving fast by developing testing technology here at Automotive Axles and this helps us improve our market position.
