The MoU was signed between Gujarat’s Science and Technology Department and Jabil in the presence of Chief Minister Bhupendra Patel, an official release said.
“Beyond attracting foreign direct investments and job creation, this MoU reflects our shared ambitions to pursue sustainable growth and create long-term value. We are excited at this opportunity to work with Jabil to explore new avenues for long-term growth together,” said Gujarat Chief Minister Bhupendra Patel.
The MoU, signed between the Gujarat Science and Technology Department and Jabil – a global leader in engineering, manufacturing, and supply chain solutions – outlines an investment of Rs 1,000 crore in the DSIR.
The new unit of Jabil will focus on sectors, including networking, capital goods, automotive, and other allied industries, the release said.
Jabil’s new unit is expected to commence its operations in Dholera by 2027, and it is likely to create about 5,000 employment opportunities, it said.
Jabil Operations Director B N Shukla, and Mission Director of the Gujarat State Electronics Mission (GSEM) Manish Gurvan, signed the MoU, it added.
Jabil has over 50 years of industry experience and operates more than 100 locations around the world.
The company combines its extensive global reach with local expertise to deliver scalable, customised solutions, it said.
This agreement follows an MoU signing with the Tamil Nadu state in September 2024. The two MoUs reflect Jabil’s intentions to expand its footprint in India and will allow the company to explore long-term goals, opportunities and support with both states.
Representing Jabil was Fred McCoy, Executive Vice President, Operations. “Jabil is committed to expanding in India to meet and grow with the future needs of our customers in the Intelligent Infrastructure segment, which covers our capabilities across cloud, compute, storage, networking, telecommunications, semiconductor capital equipment, and data center infrastructure, amongst other end-markets,” he said. “The planned expansion also opens up opportunities for Jabil’s customers in the automotive and transportation industry to consider manufacturing in India.”
