Expansion reflects Jabil’s confidence in Maharashtra
Jabil Inc (NYSE: JBL), a global leader in engineering, supply chain, and manufacturing solutions, says its new factory in Pune marks a significant expansion of the company’s India manufacturing capacity.
Located in the Maharashtra Industrial Development Corporation (MIDC) industrial zone, this facility is the latest addition to Jabil’s India footprint, which has grown from 500,000 square feet to 1.2 million square feet over the past year. This ongoing growth has also increased Jabil’s regional headcount from 5,000 to almost 11,000 employees.
“Expanding in Pune reflects Jabil’s long-term commitment to India, especially as the country grows its position as a global manufacturing leader,” said Andy Priestley, Jabil’s Executive Vice President of Operations. “This new facility will help us bring together more skilled manufacturing talent and engineering capability to build the highest quality products with speed at scale. As we continue developing our people here in Pune, we’re strengthening Jabil’s ability to execute consistently in India,” Priestley said on 18 June.
The expansion reflects Jabil’s confidence in Maharashtra as a strategic location for advanced manufacturing and comes on the heels of a MoU signing with the state government.
“Maharashtra continues to be a preferred destination for global manufacturers because of our skilled workforce, and commitment to enabling investment and growth,” said Devendra Fadnavis, Chief Minister of Maharashtra. “Jabil’s expansion in Pune is a welcome addition to the state’s manufacturing landscape and an encouraging example of how world-class companies are contributing to India’s industrial progress, job creation, and long-term economic development.”
“As the Make in India initiative continues to evolve, we remain committed to building a robust ecosystem that enables companies like Jabil to innovate, scale, and thrive in India,” said Ashwini Vaishnaw, Minister of Railways, Information and Broadcasting, and Electronics and Information Technology.
In India, Jabil serves a wide range of industries, such as telecommunications, AI cloud data centres, automotive, and digital commerce.
In 2025, Jabil was recognized with the Great Place To Work Certification in India; selected as one of India’s top 100 mid-sized companies to work for; and named as India’s Best Workplaces™ in Electronics 2025. Fiinews.com
