LIXIL Expands Housing Technology Business in India with New Manufacturing Facility in Hyderabad

Driven by the newly formed "LHT Global" organization, this strategic expansion accelerates international growth to meet surging demand.

GURUGRAM, India, Oct. 13, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- LIXIL Corporation ("LIXIL"), maker of pioneering water and housing products, today announced a major expansion of its manufacturing footprint with a new window manufacturing facility in Hyderabad, India. Spanning 500,000 square feet and slated to commence operations in 2028, the new plant will substantially boost LIXIL's local production capabilities in the country—aligning with the Indian government's "Make in India" initiative while establishing a highly responsive, localized supply chain under its LIXIL Housing Technology (LHT) India business.

The new facility will be complemented by LHT's existing window manufacturing plant in IMT Manesar, Haryana, to meet rising domestic demand for pre-engineered aluminum window systems and sliding door profiles marketed under the TOSTEM brand and affirming India as a key strategic growth hub for the region.

The expansion is projected to increase the TOSTEM brand's local production ratio in the country from 30% to over 60%, significantly increasing local production capability, responsiveness, and service to customers across Northern and Southern India.

A significant challenge for Indian builders and homeowners is to secure consistent, high-quality aluminum window frames for their property projects – from large projects to individual homes. LHT's expanding production and operating footprint aims to meet this demand with its proprietary TOSTEM "Windows in the Box" solution. This solution ships precision-engineered, ready-to-assemble window kits directly to site with consistent global quality and manufacturing, where 80% of quality-critical processes are managed in-house. This innovation eliminates the quality headache for builders and homeowners who source and coordinate multiple local fabricators. This will be supported by a concurrent retail expansion spanning about 160 partner companies, over 150 showroom locations across 130 cities.

Commenting on the investment, Hardeep Singh, Managing Director, TOSTEM India, said: "India's rapid development and urbanization must be matched with high quality buildings and homes. We are confident that our new Hyderabad facility will deliver TOSTEM global quality that is proudly "Made In India" for premium, pre-engineered aluminum windows and doors. Together with our Haryana facility, we look forward to serving our Indian distributors, business partners, and homeowners, with "Windows in the Box" and other quality solutions and services."

Ichiro Murakoshi, Asia Pacific Head of TOSTEM, added: "Our latest investment establishes India as a strategic growth hub for the LIXIL Housing Technology business under the newly formed "LHT Global" organization. We are combining advanced global technology and products with localized operational strength, to more completely serve our customers in the country and in the Asia-Pacific region. Together with industry partners, we look forward to fulfilling the LIXIL purpose to make better homes a reality for everyone, everywhere."
