Japanese electronics major Murata Manufacturing has established a factory at OneHub Chennai Industrial Park to produce multilayer ceramic capacitors (MLCCs).

State Industries Minister TRB Rajaa highlighted Murata’s entry following investments from Corning and Jabil, stating, “This is a critical step in our mission of scaling our electronics exports tenfold to $100 billion, and the results are for all to see,” Rajaa said. 

Murata’s components are widely used in Apple and Samsung smartphones, Nvidia servers, and Sony gaming consoles, even contributing to NASA’s Mars helicopter project.

Murata’s President, Norio Nakajima, had earlier mentioned the company’s evaluation of investment scenarios in India, while 60 percent of its MLCC production currently happens in Japan.
