Zetwerk, a contract manufacturing services provider, on Feb 7 launched its manufacturing facility at the KIADB Hi-Tech Hardware Park in Bengaluru. Union Minister for Electronics and Information Technology Ashwini Vaishnaw and Karnataka Minister for Large and Medium Industries M. B. Patil inaugurated the facility.

Patil said the new unit strengthens India’s capability to design, build and deliver high-reliability electronics for mission-critical applications.

He added that the facility is purpose-built for sectors such as defence, aerospace and automotive electronics, where quality, precision and reliability are critical.

The unit houses advanced manufacturing lines, clean rooms and a dedicated environmental stress testing laboratory, positioning it at the high-value end of electronics manufacturing.

He also said the State is investing over Rs 4,000 crore to extend assured Cauvery water supply to industrial areas in and around Bengaluru, alongside sustained investments in roads, power and logistics to support manufacturing units and global capability centres.

Rahul Sharma, co-founder and managing director (Precision) at Zetwerk told Moneycontrol, the facility has been set up to meet global standards required in aerospace and defence manufacturing.

“In aerospace and defence, the parts and products are mission-critical, not just from a safety point of view but also from the security of the nation. The standards become significantly more stringent, and we are creating the people, processes and capabilities to cater to that demand,” he said.

Sharma said the facility can handle complex products across avionics, electronic warfare and electric vehicle components such as battery management systems, charging stations and lighting.

He added that the plant is expected to cater to customer requirements in the automobile and aerospace sectors for the next three to four years.

On investments, Sharma said Zetwerk is looking at spending around Rs 100 crore on electronics manufacturing facilities in the Bengaluru region. He added that the company had earlier outlined a planned electronics investment of Rs 1,000 crore over two to three years and has already deployed 50–60% of that capital across facilities opened over the past one to two years.
