Copeland Completes First Phase of Manufacturing Expansion in India

Completes First Phase of Manufacturing

India: Copeland has completed the first phase of its ₹500 crore investment (USD 445,000 million) at its Atit manufacturing facility in India, strengthening its local manufacturing footprint. The expansion enables localized production of scroll hermetic compressors, making Copeland the only company manufacturing scroll compressors in India, and was marked by the first shipment of 5 HP India-built scroll compressors. This milestone highlights Copeland’s commitment to the “Make in India” initiative, as India’s HVACR market is projected to grow to USD 45.4 billion by 2033, with the Atit facility playing a key role in reducing import dependence and localizing advanced technologies.

The Atit site has evolved into a diversified manufacturing hub supporting compressors, condensing units and heat pumps for transport applications such as railways, metro systems and e-buses, while promoting energy transition, low-global warming potential refrigerants and sustainable cold chain infrastructure. Over the past two years, more than 350 SKUs have been added at the facility, including compressors compatible with R-32, R-290, R-454A and R-454B refrigerants. Copeland’s India manufacturing workforce is 100% local, supported by skill-development initiatives aimed at factory modernization and product innovation, reinforcing the company’s long-term vision to position India as a global center of excellence for sustainable cooling and heating solutions.
