Kubota Announces New Manufacturing Facility Groundbreaking in Uttar Pradesh

NEW DELHI, August 19 – At the high‑profile inauguration of the Uttar Pradesh‑Japan Investment Meet‑2026, Kubota Corporation’s President and CEO Shingo Hanada cut the ceremonial ribbon for a state‑of‑the‑art manufacturing plant in the state. The event marked a significant milestone for the Japanese multinational, cementing its long‑term strategic presence in one of India’s fastest‑growing industrial regions.

Hanada expressed gratitude to the central and state administrations, Invest Uttar Pradesh and all collaborators whose support enabled the project. He lauded Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath’s visionary leadership, which has cultivated an environment rich in infrastructure, skilled human resources, supportive policies and market potential. According to Hanada, these attributes have turned Uttar Pradesh into a fertile ground for high‑value manufacturing.

The new facility will focus on producing advanced agricultural and construction equipment, drawing on Kubota’s 135‑year heritage of technological innovation. Hanada also highlighted the historic partnership with the Nanda family, a stalwart in Indian agricultural mechanisation, which has been pivotal in expanding Kubota’s reach across the subcontinent.

Looking ahead, Kubota plans to use the plant as a hub for exporting Japanese engineering solutions, while deepening localisation efforts through collaborations with Indian firms. The company’s commitment to sustainable growth and community development aligns with Uttar Pradesh’s broader ambition to become a global manufacturing centre.
