11 Feb 2025 – MoU signed with KRONES at GIM 2025
20 Feb 2025 – Groundbreaking ceremony in Kolar
19 Aug 2026 – KRONES manufacturing facility inaugurated
MoU to manufacturing in a record 18 months. That is the Karnataka Model in action.
Inaugurated the new Krones manufacturing facility at Vemagal, Kolar – just 18 months after we laid its foundation stone. This swift transition from groundbreaking to a production-ready facility reflects the speed and certainty we want every investor to experience in Karnataka.
Spread across 30 acres, the facility will manufacture Krones’ high-speed packaging systems and strengthen its PET, mould, service and spares capabilities, while creating more than 400+ jobs in Kolar.
The investment reinforces Karnataka’s position as a preferred destination for advanced manufacturing and further strengthens our partnership with Germany.
We look forward to KRONES expanding its presence, scaling up its operations and investing even more in Karnataka.
Eighteen months from foundation stone to a production-ready facility is a significant achievement. I congratulate the KRONES team, and all our officials who worked together to make this possible.
This is precisely the speed, certainty and execution we want every investor in Karnataka to experience.
For us, investment facilitation must ultimately be measured by outcomes on the ground – investments realised, factories built, production commenced and jobs created. KRONES at Vemagal is a strong example of this approach in action.
Karnataka leads with speed, certainty and execution. said by M.B.Patil Minister for Commerce & Industries, Infrastructure GoK at the inaugural ceremony.
