Eaton Powers Up Chennai: ₹200 Crore Expansion Begins

US-based power management company Eaton Corporation has begun construction on a ₹200 crore facility in Sholinganallur, Chennai. Tamil Nadu Chief Minister M.K. Stalin officially inaugurated the project on Friday, following a memorandum of understanding (MoU) signed between Eaton and the state government six months ago.

The MoU was formalized in September 2024 during Stalin’s visit to the US, where he was accompanied by Industries Minister T.R.B. Rajaa and other officials. The upcoming 1 lakh sq. ft. facility is expected to create 500 jobs, according to an official release.

Eaton stated that the Sholinganallur facility will support its Crouse-Hinds and B-Line businesses, which specialize in sustainable and innovative power management solutions for harsh and hazardous environments. The facility will also enhance Eaton’s expertise in digitalization, electrification, and energy transition, reinforcing its commitment to global sustainability and innovation.
