OPMOBILITY IS ACCELERATING and building the future Since it began operating in India in 2007, OPmobility has forged strong partnerships with local and international manufacturers and established its presence in the major regions of the automotive industry, including Tamil Nadu and Gujarat. Today, the pace of change is accelerating because the subcontinent is enjoying strong domestic and international demand: vehicle production is expected to grow at an average annual rate of 5.2% between now and 2030(1). OPmobility at the heart of India’s transformation Continuing its strategy of international diversification, OPmobility intends to play a key role in this growth through an ambitious program: in the next five years, the Group aims to double its sales in India.

Groups. In October 2025, the Group opened a brand-new 40,000 m2 site, the biggest in the country, in Badhalawadi, in the state of Maharashtra, and began building a plant in Kharkhoda, in the state of Haryana, that will produce energy storage systems from 2026. A strategic milestone In a market in which speed is a key competitive advantage, OPmobility’s agility and expertise are a winning combination. Last June, after developing a bumper and a grille shutter in record time for a lightweight truck model produced by an Indian automotive manufacturer, the Group secured a key contract. Our Indian teams delivered a prototype and a product ready for mass production in under 15 months, compared to an Indian average of 26 months. Tomorrow’s talent Beyond its industrial activities, the Group, which continues to strengthen its local capabilities in engineering, digital technology, and software development, is committed to training tomorrow’s talent. In a country that is renowned for the quality of its engineers and its innovation ecosystem, thanks to partnerships with start-up incubators including the Bhau Institute in Pune and SINE (Society for Innovation & Entrepreneurship) in Mumbai, the Group is keen to nurture the next generation of tech talent. OPmobility is also a pioneer when it comes to diversity: in 2019, women made up less than 5% of its workforce. Today, women account for 16% of its employees – and at the new plant in Badhalawadi, they make up 90% of the workforce. OPMOBILITY ON THE MOVE (1) Source: S&P Global. OPmobility — Vibes #3 • 21 20 •
