Touring the Bangalore plant, Mrs May said: 'This collaboration between Dynamatic Technologies UK and Indian workforce demonstrates the strength of the UK's partnership with India.
'It showcases British technology with Indian manufacturing and delivers real benefit to both our economies, creating jobs back in Swindon and Bristol as well as here in India.'
The first leg of Mrs May's three-day visit, in capital New Delhi, was dominated by tensions over visas, with Indian PM Narendra Modi putting pressure on the UK to ease restrictions on students and skilled workers coming to Britain.
Mrs May announced new measures to make trips to the UK easier for senior business executives, and she offered to discuss improvements in the visa application process for Indian citizens in return for greater co-operation over the return of migrants who overstay their permission to stay.
Theresa May donned a sari on the final day of her visit to India, as she declared the trade mission a success in her drive to build 'global Britain'.
Mrs May wore the traditional Indian clothing as she visited the Sri Someshwara Hindu temple in Bangalore, the southern city which has become the IT sector hub of the sub-continent.
The PM has been leading a business delegation with the aim of bringing down barriers to commerce and paving the way for a free trade agreement following Brexit.
Speaking to Sky News at the end of her three-day visit, she said: 'Leaving the EU presents us with a world of opportunities and I'm determined to seize them.
'That's why I'm here in India, delivering on global Britain. And I have to say the response has been very good.
