FIEM Industries to Invest ₹183 Crore in New Lighting and Electronics Facility in Mysuru

Mysuru, Karnataka: FIEM Industries Limited has received approval to establish a new manufacturing facility for advanced lighting and electronic components at Kochanahalli in Karnataka’s Mysuru district, with a proposed investment of ₹183.06 crore. The project is expected to create approximately 550 jobs, adding to the region’s growing manufacturing base.

The investment was among the proposals cleared at the 161st meeting of Karnataka’s State-Level Single Window Clearance Committee (SLSWCC), chaired by Industries Minister M.B. Patil on November 9. The committee approved 147 investment proposals worth a combined ₹6,825.93 crore, with a significant share of the projects located outside Bengaluru.

FIEM Industries proposed facility will strengthen manufacturing activity in the lighting and electronics segment. The approval comes at a time when Karnataka is seeking to attract more industrial investments beyond its capital, encouraging companies to establish production operations in other districts.

Mysuru has been attracting investments across manufacturing and allied industries, supported by its industrial infrastructure and connectivity. The proposed Kochanahalli facility is expected to contribute to this industrial activity while creating employment opportunities in the district.

However, several details of the project are yet to be disclosed. The approval announcement did not specify the exact product categories planned for manufacturing, proposed production capacity or the customers the facility intends to serve. Information regarding the land area, construction schedule, funding arrangements and expected commissioning date is also not available.

The project’s implementation will depend on the next stages of planning, including site development, engineering, procurement of production equipment and the establishment of testing and quality assurance systems. These requirements are particularly important for lighting and electronic component manufacturing, where product performance and reliability depend on manufacturing precision and quality controls.

Further announcements from FIEM Industries are expected to provide clarity on the project’s execution timeline, investment schedule and operational plans.

The proposed investment also reflects Karnataka’s wider effort to distribute industrial growth across its districts. With 131 of the 147 recently approved proposals located outside Bengaluru Urban and Bengaluru Rural, the state is looking to expand employment opportunities and strengthen regional manufacturing clusters.

For Mysuru, FIEM Industries’ ₹183.06 crore proposal represents another addition to its industrial investment pipeline, with around 550 jobs expected once the facility is developed and operational.
