Virtuoso Optoelectronics, through its wholly-owned subsidiary Virtuoso Compressors Pvt Ltd, has begun commercial production at a new manufacturing facility in Nashik, Maharashtra for reciprocatory compressors used in domestic and commercial refrigeration. The plant has a capacity of 2.8 million compressors per annum, covering 3cc to 15cc in both fixed and variable speed variants. It was set up with an investment of ₹45 crore, funded through a mix of debt and equity, in technical collaboration with Chinese firms Huayi Compressor and Jiaxipera Compressor. India currently imports around 22 million compressor units annually, and this Make-in-India aligned facility targets the domestic market, positioning the company as a vertically integrated OEM/ODM in consumer appliances.
Positive for shareholders — diversifies revenue beyond optoelectronics into the compressor segment, unlocks new B2B and B2G opportunities, and should support long-term revenue and margin growth, though the ₹45 crore capex adds some balance sheet leverage.
