Pune | September 23, 2026
Global engineering and semiconductor technology company Melexis has strengthened its presence in India with the official opening of its new local office in Pune, Maharashtra.
The new 340 sq. m. facility marks an important step in Melexis’ continued expansion in the Indian market. The company has been serving customers in India for more than 15 years, primarily through distribution partners. According to Melexis, sales in India have grown by more than 30% per year over the past decade, making the country an increasingly important market for its global operations.
With the opening of its Pune office, Melexis is moving towards a more direct local operation, bringing its teams closer to customers and their specific application requirements. The facility will initially house a localized team focused on motor drivers and sensor support, strengthening Melexis’ technical and commercial capabilities in the country.
Pune to Support Melexis’ Growth in Mobility and Energy
Melexis’ expansion comes at a time when India’s mobility and energy sectors are undergoing significant technological transformation. The company is looking to support opportunities across two-wheeler mobility, vehicle electrification, solar applications and smart energy metering.
The automotive segment remains an important part of the company’s India strategy. Melexis reported a 30% year-on-year increase in automotive sales in the first half of 2026, with the segment accounting for 46% of its local revenue. The company is also targeting opportunities created by the increasing electrification and electronic content of India’s high-volume two-wheeler market.
Beyond mobility, Melexis is also looking to address India’s expanding solar and smart-energy ecosystem. The company is targeting applications in smart energy metering, including solutions designed to support anti-tampering requirements in smart meters.
Focus on Local Engineering Talent
Alongside its commercial expansion, Melexis plans to build its local engineering capabilities. The company said the new facility will support a growing team and that it plans to hire 15 professionals over the coming years.
Melexis also plans to leverage India’s engineering talent ecosystem, including expertise in software, embedded systems and IC design, to strengthen its technical support and customer engagement capabilities.
Pune’s Growing Role in Global Technology Operations
The establishment of Melexis’ new Pune office adds another global technology company to the city’s expanding ecosystem of engineering, technology and innovation operations.
Pune has increasingly emerged as a location for companies building specialized capabilities across automotive technology, semiconductors, engineering, electrification and digital innovation. Melexis’ decision to establish a dedicated local operation in the city further reflects the growing role of Pune in India’s global technology ecosystem.
Melexis’ Pune presence will enable the company to work more closely with Indian customers while developing solutions aligned with the country’s evolving mobility and energy requirements.
Melexis’ new Pune office represents the next phase of its India journey — bringing global semiconductor expertise closer to the customers, applications and technology opportunities shaping the country’s next stage of growth.
