YKK Corporation is strengthening its presence in India with plans to build a new manufacturing facility in Tamil Nadu, underscoring the country's growing importance as a global textile and apparel hub.

The Japanese fastening giant has announced that its Indian subsidiary, YKK India Private Limited, will establish its third manufacturing plant at Origins by Mahindra, Chennai. The new facility will complement YKK's two existing factories in Haryana and help serve both rising domestic demand and export-oriented apparel manufacturers.

Backed by an investment of US$ 150 million, the project will integrate YKK's advanced manufacturing technologies and expand the company's production capabilities in the region.

The factory will be built on a land parcel of nearly 150,000 square metres, with a planned building area of approximately 74,700 square metres. Construction is expected to be completed by February 2028.

Beyond increasing capacity, YKK said the new facility will focus on locally rooted operations by creating employment opportunities and contributing to the surrounding community. The expanded production base is also expected to enhance the company's ability to deliver products tailored to a wide range of customer requirements.

Established in 1995, YKK India manufactures and sells fastening products and operates offices across major textile and apparel centres in the country. The company also maintains overseas offices in Nepal, Jordan and the UAE, supporting its wider regional operations.
