Belden Inc. (NYSE: BDC), a leading global supplier of network infrastructure and digitization solutions, has marked a significant milestone in its operations in India with the groundbreaking ceremony of expansion of their manufacturing facility in Chakan, Pune. This expansion adds to the existing footprint by 19,000 square meters and represents a substantial investment of approximately $40M (INR 330 Crores), reaffirming Belden's commitment to meeting the region's burgeoning demand.

“In India, where industrial, broadcast and enterprise markets are experiencing remarkable growth, our expansion is strategically positioned to cater to this unique opportunity. With the expansion of our facility, we are emphasizing our dedication to sourcing raw materials locally. This underscores our unwavering commitment to 'Made in India for the World.’ With the strategic establishment of this facility, we not only strengthen our domestic roots but also envision it as a pivotal export hub,” said Dr. Ashish Chand, President and CEO.
