Valeo, in the presence of Marc Vrecko, CEO of the Brain Division, opened a state-of-the-art HD surround-view camera production line at its Sanand plant on April 3, 2026. This marks a major step for Valeo in India and showcases its manufacturing excellence in the region.
This significant expansion highlights the Group's ongoing commitment to expanding the local production of advanced vision systems and driving the future of mobility in India. The newly opened line will focus on the mass production of next-generation vision camera systems for major OEMs in India. These systems are designed to enhance driver assistance, improve road safety, and support the growing demand for autonomous and semi-autonomous driving technologies in the region.
Going beyond cameras, the Sanand plant is set to become a multi-technology hub for the scalable production of advanced in-vehicle displays and telematics control units, supporting further diversification of Valeo's local footprint to meet the expanding demand for digital cockpits and connected car solutions.
Marc Vrecko, CEO of Valeo Brain Division, stated: 'The opening of this new camera line at our Sanand plant is a proud moment for our team and a testament to our focus on the Indian market. By localizing the production of these highly complex and advanced vision systems, we are not only optimizing our supply chain but also accelerating the delivery of world-class safety technologies to our partners.'
Jayakumar G, Group President and Managing Director of Valeo India, stated: 'We are expanding our product portfolio in Sanand, India. This investment in a state-of-the-art surround-view camera line underscores our commitment to localizing high-tech solutions. This will enhance our ADAS product production capacity and R&D, ensuring we continue to meet the ever-evolving needs of our customers.'
With this opening, Valeo further solidifies its position as a solution provider at the core of intelligent mobility, bringing cutting-edge technologies closer to consumers and OEMs, and contributing to the vision of India becoming a global hub for automotive innovation and manufacturing. While hardware is manufactured on a large scale at the Sanand plant, Valeo's R&D hub in Chennai develops the advanced software and intelligence that power these sensors.
Importantly, this facility will lead the manufacturing of critical components for both Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS) and state-of-the-art Advanced Rider Assistance Systems (ARAS). India has been prioritized in Valeo's 'Elevate 2028' strategic plan. By combining large-scale local production with region-specific R&D, Valeo is perfectly positioned to shape the future of driving and riding in India, providing world-class, future-ready technologies to both OEMs and consumers.
