欧姆龙公司正在加大在印度的生产力度，配合该国致力成为全球企业制造和出口中心的推进步伐。
Omron Corp. is ramping up production in India, aligning itself with the country’s push to become a manufacturing and exports hub for global corporations.
该公司计划在印度增加医疗保健和自动化产品的制造——这两项属于其核心业务——以利用莫迪政府提供的激励措施。首席执行官津永纯一郎在媒体吹风会上表示，欧姆龙的医疗保健部门已在南部城市钦奈开始生产血压计供当地销售，并计划将其出口至欧洲和非洲。
The company plans to boost manufacturing of healthcare and automation products — among its core businesses — in India, preparing to tap incentives on offer from the Modi administration. Omron’s healthcare division has already begun making blood pressure monitors in the southern city of Chennai for local sales, with plans to also export them to Europe and Africa, Chief Executive Officer Junta Tsujinaga said in a media briefing.
虽然欧姆龙在印度已有三十年的业务布局，但迄今为止在该国的制造活动相对较少。纳伦德拉·莫迪总理领导的政府正提供补贴和其他激励措施，通过吸引欧姆龙等全球电子制造商来实现经济现代化。
While Omron has had a presence in India for three decades, it’s so far done relatively little manufacturing in the country. Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s government is offering subsidies and other incentives to modernize the economy by wooing global electronics makers such as Omron.
“印度不仅面向本地业务，也应成为全球业务，”60岁的津永纯一郎通过翻译在南部科技中心班加罗尔表示，欧姆龙在那里设有自动化研发中心。
“India is not only for the local business, but also it should be a global business,” Tsujinaga, 60, said through an interpreter from the southern tech hub of Bangalore, where Omron has an automation research and development center.
印度是这家成立93年的欧姆龙公司在连续三年销售额下滑后、重启营收增长的关键一环。自2021年高点以来，其股价已腰斩过半，尽管随着盈利改善，今年已收复部分失地。
India is a key part of 93-year-old Omron’s bid to jump start revenue growth after three straight years of falling sales. Its shares have lost more than half their value since a 2021 peak, though they’ve recouped some losses this year as its earnings improved.
尽管印度业务在欧姆龙总营收中仍占比较小，但显示出潜力。津永纯一郎表示，公司目标是到2030财年，印度营收以年均12%的速度增长，目前的销售轨迹已超越该目标。
While still a small part of Omron’s revenue, India is showing promise. The company aims to increase revenue in the country at an average annual rate of 12% through the 2030 fiscal year, and its sales trajectory is already exceeding that target, Tsujinaga said.
津永纯一郎表示，欧姆龙预计印度的快速经济增长和制造业活动增加将推动对其工厂自动化产品的需求，但拒绝透露计划投资的具体细节。他称，公司在印度的扩张“将分步进行”。欧姆龙已是iPhone组装商富士康科技集团在印度业务的供应商。
Omron expects India’s rapid economic growth and rising manufacturing activity to fuel demand for its factory automation products, Tsujinaga said, declining to give specifics around planned investments. The company’s expansion in India “will be done in steps,” he said. It’s already a supplier to iPhone assembler Foxconn Technology Group’s operations in the country.
印度初露头角的半导体雄心代表了另一条潜在的增长途径。芯片制造行业使用欧姆龙的产品来控制温度、振动等因素，有助于提高生产良率并减少缺陷。印度目前有五座正在运营的芯片封装厂，并正寻求吸引更多组装和晶圆制造设施。
India’s fledgling semiconductor ambitions represent another potential growth avenue. The chipmaking industry uses Omron’s products that control factors such as temperature and vibration, helping to improve production yields and cut back on defects. India currently has five operational chip packaging plants and it’s seeking to attract more assembly and wafer manufacturing facilities.
印度市场也面临挑战。其对价格敏感的制造商，尤其是中小企业，如果预期回报迟迟无法实现，可能不愿投资自动化。
The Indian market has its challenges. Its price-sensitive manufacturers, especially small and mid-sized firms, can be reluctant to invest in automation if expected returns are slow to materialize.
欧姆龙还面临来自低成本中国竞争对手的激烈竞争。为脱颖而出，欧姆龙正在为其设备配套工程和培训等服务。
Omron also faces stiff competition from lower-cost Chinese rivals. In a bid to stand out, Omron is complementing its equipment with services such as engineering and training.
“我们将增值工程与元器件结合在一起，真正的价值将由此产生，”该公司当地工业自动化业务部门董事总经理萨米尔·甘地表示。
“The real value is going to come from the value-add engineering that we are bringing together with the component,” said Sameer Gandhi, managing director of the company’s local industrial automation unit.
