Global auto components major Tenneco is exploring acquisitions while expanding its R&D facility in Hosur, signalling a deeper commitment to India’s automotive ecosystem. The company is looking to strengthen its technology capabilities amid rising demand for advanced suspension and emission systems.

The Hosur facility is expected to play a key role in developing next-generation products tailored for both domestic and global markets. India is increasingly being positioned as a hub for engineering and innovation by global automotive suppliers.

Tenneco’s expansion also reflects broader industry trends where companies are localising R&D to reduce costs and accelerate product development cycles.

With increasing regulatory focus on emissions and performance, investments in R&D infrastructure are becoming critical for maintaining competitiveness.
