If you’re an EV manufacturer looking to tighten your supply chain, the latest move from a German screw‑driving titan might just be the game‑changer you’ve been waiting for.
DEPRAG India will pour ₹8‑10 crore into local assembly, targeting a four‑to‑six‑month ramp‑up. The plan is to start putting together selected screw‑driving systems right in the heart of India, rather than shipping them from Europe.
The focus? Industrial screw‑driving and fastening systems, component‑feeding equipment, and assembly automation—pieces that sit in the middle of every EV assembly line. In a field where Bosch and Mersen have long dominated, DEPRAG’s precision tools could offer a tighter fit for your production needs.
Make‑in‑India and Production‑Linked Incentive schemes are already giving a boost to domestic manufacturing. By positioning its engineering support closer to the plant, DEPRAG says it can customise machines to match your factory layout and production volumes, cutting delays that often plague imported kits.
The company has a €5 million target in India over the next three years, a steady stream of high‑precision parts that could help shave both cost and cycle time off your EV builds. A 25 percent annual growth target underpins this aggressive push.
The first batch of locally assembled units is expected in early 2027, with Bengaluru and Chennai as the launch pads. Watch for the rollout of their air‑motor and pneumatic tool range, which could shave crucial seconds off each assembly step.
