BANGALORE, India, Sept. 18, 2023 -- IRP Systems completed a significant strategic expansion in the Indian market to serve its growing business and commercial agreements with leading OEMs and Tier 1s. Among the company's steps are the establishment of a fully compliant FAME2 and PLI mass-production capability, the establishment of a local entity, and the hiring of automotive talent.

As part of the company's hyper-local strategy, IRP has finalized the setup of mass-production capabilities and a robust supply chain through a system of sub-manufacturers and top suppliers in India. The move enables IRP to provide its OEM and Tier 1 customers with efficient, cost-effective, and durable e-powertrain systems in full compliance with FAME2 and PLI scheme.
