Scania collectively invested around Rs 300 crore in their truck and bus manufacturing facility.
The current yearly capacity of the manufacturing plant is 2,500 trucks and 1,000 buses.
The bus plant serves as an export hub for regions such as Asia, Middle East and Africa.
Scania aims to double its production capacity by 2,500 units of buses and 5,000 units of trucks and recruit about 800 employees by the end of 2017.
"The goal is to draw on local talent and competence and combine it with global experience - making all our facilities part of our global network and in turn creating tremendous value across our global value chain," Scania C V President and CEO Martin Lundstedt said.
Observing that Scania's promise of delivering sustainable transport solutions in the country takes a major step forward with the bus manufacturing plant, the company said the plant will house a bio-gas production unit and will locally assemble ethanol buses.
The company will also broaden the scope for manufacturing more products powered by alternative fuels, which will catalyse sustainable development in India to a whole new leve.
