In a major milestone for Valeo in India and regional manufacturing excellence, the company has inaugurated a cutting-edge new HD surround-view camera production line at the Sanand facility in Gujarat.
Strengthening localised production
This significant expansion underscores the company’s ongoing commitment to scaling the localised production of advanced vision systems and driving the future of mobility in India.
Focus on Next-Gen vision systems
The newly inaugurated line will focus on the high-volume manufacturing 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.
Sanand as a multi-technology hub
Beyond the cameras, the Sanand facility is set to become a multi-technology hub with the scalable production of advanced automotive displays and telematics control units, further diversifying Valeo’s local footprint to meet the growing demand for digital cockpit and connected vehicle solutions.

Marc Vrecko, Valeo BRAIN Division CEO, said: “The inauguration of this new camera line at our Sanand facility is a proud moment for our team and a proof of our dedication to the Indian market. By localising the production of these highly complex, advanced vision systems, we are not only streamlining our supply chain but also accelerating the delivery of world-class safety technologies to our partners.”

Jayakumar G, Group President & Managing Director, Valeo India, said: “We are scaling our product portfolio in Sanand. This investment in a state-of-the-art surround-view camera line underscores our commitment to localising high-tech solutions. It strengthens our ADAS manufacturing capabilities and R&D and ensures we continue to meet our customers’ evolving needs.”
Advancing intelligent mobility in India
With this inauguration, Valeo further strengthens its position as a key enabler of intelligent mobility, bringing cutting-edge technology closer to consumers and OEMs and contributing to India’s vision of becoming a global hub for automotive innovation and manufacturing.
Integration with R&D capabilities
While high-volume hardware manufacturing takes place at the Sanand facility, the advanced software and intelligence driving these sensors are developed at Valeo’s R&D hub in Chennai.
Focus on ADAS and ARAS technologies
Crucially, the facility will spearhead the manufacturing of critical components for both Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS) and cutting-edge Advanced Rider Assistance Systems (ARAS).
Strategic focus on India
India has been identified as a priority in Valeo’s ‘Elevate 2028’ strategic plan. By combining high-volume, localised manufacturing with dedicated regional R&D, Valeo is well positioned to shape the future of driving and riding in India, delivering world-class, future-ready technologies to OEMs and consumers alike
