Valeo Boosts ADAS Manufacturing Capabilities with Sanand Facility Expansion

Valeo has inaugurated a new HD surround-view camera production line at its Sanand facility, marking a big step in expanding its manufacturing footprint and advanced technology capabilities in India.

The new production line was inaugurated on April 3, 2026 by Marc Vrecko, and represents a key milestone in the company’s efforts to localise the production of next-generation automotive vision systems. The facility will support high-volume manufacturing of advanced camera systems for leading OEMs, aimed at enhancing driver assistance, improving safety, and enabling autonomous and semi-autonomous driving functions.

The Sanand plant is also being developed into a multi-technology hub, with plans to scale production of advanced automotive displays and telematics control units. This expansion aligns with increasing demand for connected vehicle technologies and digital cockpit solutions in India.

Marc Vrecko stated that the inauguration reflects Valeo’s commitment to the Indian market, adding that localising complex vision systems will help streamline supply chains and accelerate the deployment of advanced safety technologies.

Jayakumar G noted that the investment strengthens the company’s ADAS manufacturing and R&D capabilities, enabling it to better meet evolving customer needs while expanding its high-tech product portfolio.

The facility will also play a key role in producing components for Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS) and Advanced Rider Assistance Systems (ARAS). While hardware manufacturing will take place in Sanand, the supporting software and intelligence will be developed at Valeo’s R&D centre in Chennai.

This development aligns with Valeo’s ‘Elevate 2028’ strategic roadmap, which identifies India as a priority market. By combining local manufacturing with regional R&D, the company aims to further strengthen its position in India’s rapidly evolving mobility and automotive innovation ecosystem.
