Mahindra Group company signs strategic cooperation agreement with Osaka Government to support Japanese businesses entering India

Mahindra Industrial Park Chennai Limited (MIPCL), a joint venture between Mahindra Lifespace Developers and Sumitomo Corporation, has forged a strategic cooperation agreement with Osaka Prefecture and the Osaka Industrial Development Bureau. This significant partnership, signed, aims to facilitate the expansion of Japanese businesses, particularly those from Osaka, into India. It underscores Mahindra's dedication to attracting high-quality global investment into India's manufacturing sector and solidifying Tamil Nadu's position as a prime destination for Japanese industries.

Under this agreement, MIPCL and Sumitomo Corporation will serve as local facilitators for Osaka-based companies exploring opportunities in India. They will offer comprehensive support, including organising business visits, providing on-ground consultations, and participating in knowledge-sharing seminars in Osaka. In return, Osaka authorities will identify and recommend interested companies, streamlining their entry into the Indian market by assisting with necessary permissions and ensuring a seamless transition for Japanese manufacturers.

India's robust economic growth, with a projected GDP growth of 6.3 per cent in FY2025, makes it an attractive destination for international businesses and a key partner for global supply chains. Chennai, with its strategic port connectivity and flourishing automotive, electronics, and semiconductor industries, is an ideal hub for this collaboration. Origins by Mahindra, Chennai, already hosts six Japanese clients, offering world-class infrastructure and a stable policy environment. This partnership will further enhance tailored support for businesses evaluating the Indian market, leveraging Mahindra Lifespaces' expertise to help Japanese firms navigate regulations, secure resources, and scale operations effectively.
