The upcoming CNH manufacturing facility will be developed across 100 acres at YEIDA, near Jewar Airport in Uttar Pradesh. Once fully operational, the plant will have an annual production capacity of 100,000 tractors (1 lakh units).

The first phase of the facility is expected to become operational by mid-2028. It will expand CNH's existing manufacturing capabilities in India and help the company meet increasing demand from both domestic and international markets.

The new plant will also complement CNH's current manufacturing facilities in the country, creating a stronger production network.

CNH currently operates manufacturing facilities at:

• Greater Noida, Uttar Pradesh: Manufacturing of tractors and engines.

• Pune, Maharashtra: Manufacturing of balers, combine harvesters and sugarcane harvesters.

With the addition of the YEIDA facility, CNH will further expand its manufacturing capacity and strengthen its ability to serve customers across different markets.

Advanced Manufacturing Technology, Automation and AI to Be Used

The new CNH manufacturing facility is being designed around modern manufacturing technologies, digitalisation and automation. The company plans to introduce advanced production systems to improve manufacturing efficiency, product quality and operational precision.

Some of the key technologies planned for the facility include:

• Robotics and Automation: Advanced automated systems to improve production efficiency and manufacturing operations.

• AI-Powered Quality Systems: Artificial intelligence-based systems to improve quality checks and maintain manufacturing standards.

• Digital Manufacturing: Digitally enabled production processes to support better monitoring, accuracy and operational efficiency.

These technologies will help CNH develop a modern manufacturing ecosystem while supporting its long-term production and technology goals in India.

Sustainable Manufacturing to Be a Key Focus

Along with advanced manufacturing technologies, CNH's new YEIDA plant will focus on environmentally responsible production practices. The facility will incorporate several sustainability measures, including renewable energy, water recycling, green logistics and waste recovery.

These initiatives are expected to help reduce resource consumption, improve operational efficiency and support more sustainable manufacturing operations. By combining automation, digitalisation and sustainable manufacturing practices, CNH aims to establish a modern production facility that supports both business growth and environmental responsibility.

New Plant to Strengthen India's Global Manufacturing and Export Role

The YEIDA facility represents another major step in CNH's efforts to strengthen India as a strategic manufacturing, engineering, technology and export hub. The plant will support the production of Made-in-India tractors for domestic customers while also catering to international markets. This will further strengthen India's contribution to CNH's global manufacturing and technology network.

The project is also expected to benefit the surrounding industrial ecosystem. It will help strengthen the local supplier base and generate employment opportunities. Additionally, the new facility is expected to create further business opportunities across logistics, services and technology sectors, supporting industrial development in Uttar Pradesh.
