Sajjan Jindal-owned JSW Greentech has partnered with Dassault Systèmes to build a digital manufacturing backbone for its upcoming electric commercial vehicle plant in Maharashtra, as the JSW Group company moves to establish its presence in India’s growing electric bus and truck market.
Under the collaboration, JSW Greentech will deploy Dassault Systèmes’ DELMIA Apriso manufacturing execution system (MES) across its upcoming facility. The platform will connect production planning, quality control and material tracking, providing real-time operational visibility and end-to-end traceability across the plant from the beginning of production.
Digital backbone for EV manufacturing
JSW Greentech is developing a 90-acre greenfield manufacturing facility in Chhatrapati Sambhajinagar, Maharashtra, along with a fully equipped R&D centre in Pune. Established in 2024, the company is the JSW Group’s foray into sustainable commercial mobility and is developing electric buses and trucks for the Indian market.
The company said the digital architecture is being built into its manufacturing operations to address the quality, reliability and uptime requirements of fleet operators and public transport agencies. DELMIA Apriso is expected to provide continuity of manufacturing data by linking production execution with quality management and material tracking, reducing reliance on disconnected workflows and manual data handling during the production ramp-up.
“As we build a state-of-the-art commercial EV manufacturing facility, it is imperative that we complement it with equally advanced technology systems,” said Sumit Mittal, CEO, JSW Greentech Limited. He said the partnership would bring global expertise and digital capabilities into the company’s manufacturing ecosystem and help create a “smart, connected and future-ready” operating environment for technology-led commercial vehicle manufacturing in India.
Focus on sustainable production
JSW Greentech also highlighted sustainability in the manufacturing process, with Mittal’s company seeking to combine localisation, advanced engineering and global technology partnerships as it develops its EV operations.
Deepak NG, Managing Director, India, Dassault Systèmes, said the collaboration would strengthen JSW Greentech’s technology adoption and sustainable manufacturing standards. He said a connected digital backbone could help the company scale clean transportation more efficiently, while Dassault Systèmes’ virtual twin capabilities are aimed at supporting innovation, manufacturing excellence and sustainable growth in India’s EV ecosystem.
The partnership comes as JSW Greentech builds its electric commercial vehicle operations around localisation and digital manufacturing. The company is part of the $23-billion JSW Group, which has businesses spanning steel, energy, infrastructure, cement, paints, defence, automobiles, venture capital, realty and sports.
