Hosur, Tamil Nadu Feb 26, 2026 (Issuewire.com) - Trans ACNR Solutions Private Limited (TASPL), India's leading manufacturer of transport air-conditioning and refrigeration systems, has commenced construction of its 130,000 square feet advanced Bus HVAC manufacturing facility at Shoolagiri, near Bengaluru.
The new unit will manufacture Bus Air-Conditioning systems under the Trans ACNR flagship brand, JTAC, and is scheduled to commence commercial production in December 2026.
During the initial phase, the capital investment will be deployed towards plant infrastructure, advanced manufacturing systems, and production equipment to establish a high-efficiency facility aligned with modern automotive standards.
The expansion is intended to fulfil confirmed orders and meet the increasing demand for bus air-conditioning solutions across both Internal Combustion Engine (ICE) and Electric Bus platforms, whilst strengthening supply capabilities for leading bus OEMs and enhancing manufacturing resilience through improved capacity, process control, and supply chain efficiency.
The Shoolagiri expansion forms a key pillar in Trans ACNR's long-term growth strategy, which is supported by:
- Rapid expansion of access-controlled expressway infrastructure, driving increased long-distance road travel

- Fleet modernisation across state transport undertakings
- Expansion of electric bus deployment across the country

The new facility is expected to generate approximately 200 direct employment opportunities, contributing to industrial development in the Hosur-Shoolagiri manufacturing corridor. The region is strategically positioned within South India's automotive ecosystem, providing strong logistics connectivity and skilled workforce availability.
In addition to the initial phase, Trans ACNR is evaluating further capital expenditure at Shoolagiri over the medium term, subject to business requirements and market conditions. The future investments will focus on:
- Advanced manufacturing automation
