Automotive Electronics Manufacturing Capabilities

Vehicle electronics must withstand heat, vibration and years of service, while every assembly needs to follow a documented, repeatable manufacturing process. Karkhana combines PCB assembly, component sourcing, inspection, testing and production capabilities to support reliable automotive electronics manufacturing from prototype to volume production.

01

IATF 16949:2016 Certified

Our automotive quality management system is certified to IATF 16949:2016, alongside ISO 9001 and ISO 14001.

02

Mixed-Technology Assembly

SMT, through-hole and mixed-technology assembly support automotive PCB production , matched to what each board actually needs.

03

Managed Component Supply

Qualified supplier networks and active BOM management keep parts arriving in step with the build plan.

04

Prototype Through to Volume

The same facility takes a part from NPI and pilot builds through to series volumes, without a supplier change in the middle.

05

DFM Review Before Build

Design for manufacturability review happens before the first build, so layout and assembly problems are caught while they are still cheap to correct.

06

Documented Traceability

Process records, inspection data and batch traceability are documented and available for audit.

07

Harness, Enclosure & Box Build

Wire harness manufacturing, mechanical assembly and enclosure integration alongside the electronics.

08

Single Programme Owner

One team coordinates engineering, procurement, production, quality and delivery, so there is a single point of accountability for the programme.

Automotive Contract Manufacturing Services

 Karkhana provides automotive electronics contract manufacturing for OEMs and tier suppliers that need electronics production handled to automotive process discipline. We coordinate board procurement, component sourcing, SMT and through-hole assembly, inspection, testing and final integration in one workflow.

Running the programme through a single manufacturer reduces vendor coordination, keeps traceability in one system, and gives engineering and purchasing teams one place to go for production status.

Automotive Products We Manufacture

Our automotive electronics manufacturing covers cabin, body and powertrain electronics, along with electrified vehicle systems such as EV charging and battery management. We support vehicle electronics manufacturing across these applications through PCB assembly, component sourcing, testing and integrated assembly.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is Karkhana an IATF 16949 certified manufacturer?
add

Yes. Karkhana holds IATF 16949:2016, the automotive sector quality management standard, alongside ISO 9001 for quality management and ISO 14001 for environmental management.

What automotive electronics does Karkhana manufacture?
add

We manufacture automotive electronic assemblies including instrument clusters, telematics units, lighting modules, fuse control boxes, EV chargers and battery pack electronics. Our capabilities also support PCB assemblies for vehicle control, charging, battery management and other automotive applications.

Do you manufacture automotive electronics in India?
add

Yes. Karkhana provides automotive electronics manufacturing in India from our Bangalore facility, covering component sourcing, SMT and through-hole PCB assembly, inspection, testing, wire harness manufacturing, box build and final integration.

Can you support NPI builds and volume production?
add

Yes. We handle new product introduction builds, prototypes and pilot batches, and carry the same documented process into series production, so a part does not change manufacturers as the programme matures.

How do you handle automotive component sourcing?
add

We manage BOM procurement through qualified supplier networks, tracking availability and lead times against the production plan. On long-running automotive programmes that ongoing supply management matters as much as the initial sourcing.

What inspection and testing is applied to automotive assemblies?
add

Automated optical inspection, X-ray inspection for hidden joints, electrical testing and functional validation, applied according to the product and the test plan agreed with you before build.

Can you supply complete units rather than bare assemblies?
add

Yes. Alongside PCB assembly we manufacture wire harnesses, perform mechanical assembly and integrate complete units, so parts can be delivered as finished assemblies rather than loose boards.

What is needed to quote an automotive manufacturing project?
add

Gerber files, a BOM, assembly drawings, mechanical details where box build is involved, annual volumes, testing requirements and programme timing. With that we can prepare an accurate quotation.

When should we bring Karkhana into an automotive programme?
add

As early as the design or prototype stage. Early manufacturability review lets us raise layout, component and process issues before tooling is committed, which is where most late automotive programme delays originate.

Can Karkhana support DC-DC converter PCB assembly?
add

Karkhana supports PCB and electronic assembly for DC-DC converter applications used in automotive and EV power electronics. Manufacturing requirements can be assessed based on the converter design, PCB specifications, components, testing requirements and production volumes.
