Walter Pack Automotive Products India Private Limited, a wholly owned subsidiary of Bengaluru-based S.J.S. Enterprises Limited, is setting up a new manufacturing facility at Koregaon Bhima, Shirur Taluka, Pune, Maharashtra.
The company executed and registered a sub-lease agreement for the new facility on October 11, 2026, marking an important step in its manufacturing consolidation and capacity expansion plans.
🏭 Key Project Highlights
🔹 Estimated Investment: ₹49 crore
🔹 Location: Koregaon Bhima, Shirur, Pune, Maharashtra
🔹 Proposed Facility Area: Approximately 1,27,359 sq. ft.
🔹 Project Model: Build-to-Suit facility
🔹 Planned Commercial Operations: May 2027
🔹 Funding: Internal accruals and debt
📈 Expansion & Consolidation Strategy
The new facility will replace three existing manufacturing plants at MIDC Ranjangaon, Pune, currently spread across approximately 64,273 sq. ft.
The consolidated facility will provide an additional 63,086 sq. ft. of space, enabling the company to streamline operations, improve manufacturing efficiency and accommodate future production growth.
The existing plants are currently operating at around 75% capacity utilisation.
💰 Investment Breakdown
▪️ ₹15 crore towards relocation expenses and basic infrastructure
▪️ ₹34 crore towards the right-of-use asset associated with the building lease
The Build-to-Suit model will allow the company to operate from infrastructure tailored to its specific manufacturing requirements without directly undertaking the entire land acquisition and construction investment.
🚀 What This Means for Pune’s Industrial Ecosystem
✅ Expansion of automotive component manufacturing infrastructure
✅ Improved operational efficiency through plant consolidation
✅ Additional industrial space to support future growth
✅ Opportunities for local vendors, logistics providers and service partners
✅ Continued strengthening of Pune’s automotive manufacturing ecosystem
Once the new facility becomes operational, the three existing Ranjangaon plants are expected to be phased out, with their operations transferred to Koregaon Bhima.
This project highlights the growing importance of integrated manufacturing facilities, operational consolidation and flexible industrial real estate models in India’s automotive supply chain.
