Toshiba Energy Systems & Solutions Corporation will invest an additional 35 billion yen on enhancing production capacity at its Hamakawasaki operations in Kawasaki, Japan and at the Toshiba Transmission & Distribution Systems (India) facility in Hyderabad.
This will be in addition to the 20 billion yen investment it had announced in July 2024 for FY2024–FY2026 and take the total investment to 55 billion yen by FY2027. The investment is expected to more than double combined production capacity at Toshiba’s key facilities in Japan and India by FY2030 against the FY2024 levels, the company said on Friday (October 17).
The investment will be in the power transmission and distribution (T&D) equipment business and comes in the backdrop of accelerating global electricity demand.
“As global electricity demand continues to rise, ensuring a stable supply of T&D equipment is more critical than ever. In Japan, demand for T&D equipment is expected to surge through 2030 and remain high, driven by the renewal of ageing infrastructure, the expansion of renewable energy, and the construction of new data centres. In India, electricity demand continues to rise rapidly, fuelled by economic & urban population growth and the accelerated adoption of renewable energy,” vice-president of the Grid Solution Division at Toshiba Hiroshi Kaneta said.
Toshiba will invest in strengthening its manufacturing capabilities by renewing and modernising existing production lines, constructing new ones and upgrading factory infrastructure at both locations. At the Hyderabad facility, the company will expand its product line-ups to better serve both Indian as well as international markets, including North America, Europe and the Middle East with the aim of increasing its global market share.
