Uno Minda Limited has approved a greenfield expansion of its four-wheeler alloy wheel manufacturing business in Chhatrapati Sambhajinagar, Maharashtra with an additional capacity of 1.8 million wheels per year, as part of its medium-term manufacturing investment plan. The new facility will use a combination of gravity die casting and low-pressure die casting technologies and is expected to strengthen the company’s position in the low-pressure die casting segment, which is increasingly preferred by original equipment manufacturers.
The project involves fresh capital expenditure of INR 7.64 billion, to be deployed in phases over the next four years. The expansion is intended to scale up Uno Minda’s alloy wheel production capability and support future growth in demand from passenger vehicle manufacturers.
“The new plant will meaningfully expand our LPDC-based alloy wheel manufacturing capability, strengthening our position with OEMs who prefers LPDC technology and hence enabling us to further grow our market share in this segment,” the company stated in a press release.
The capacity expansion decision was announced alongside the company’s financial results for the quarter ended 31 December 2025. The board also approved and declared an interim dividend of INR 0.90 per share, equivalent to 45 percent of the face value.
Commenting on the broader operating environment and the company’s investment approach, Ravi Mehra, Managing Director of Uno Minda Group, said, “At Uno Minda, we are aligning our strategy to these tailwinds through targeted investments in advanced technologies, localisation, and scalable manufacturing capacities.” He added that the company’s focus areas include safety, premiumisation and electrification, which are contributing to higher content per vehicle across domestic and global platforms.
Sunil Bohra, Chief Financial Officer of Uno Minda Group, said the company would continue to pursue growth through capacity additions and new programmes. “As we continue to pursue multiple growth opportunities through capacity expansion, new product programs, and deeper customer engagement, our focus remains on disciplined execution and capturing opportunities across both domestic and global markets,” he said.
For the third quarter of FY26, Uno Minda reported consolidated revenue of INR 50.18 billion, an increase of 20 percent year on year, driven by growth across switching, lighting, casting, seating and emerging technology businesses such as electric vehicle systems, sensors and advanced driver-assistance systems. Consolidated earnings before interest, tax, depreciation and amortisation rose 21 percent year on year to INR 5.54 billion, while profit after tax attributable to shareholders, excluding exceptional items, increased 28 percent to INR 2.98 billion.
Uno Minda Limited, incorporated in 1958, manufactures automotive components and systems across more than 28 product categories, serving passenger vehicles, commercial vehicles, and two- and three-wheelers, including internal combustion engine and electric or hybrid platforms. The group operates 76 manufacturing facilities across India and overseas markets and maintains a network of research and engineering centres supporting its product development activities.
