Uno Minda Limited, a global technology leader in automotive components and systems manufacturing, has announced that its Board of Directors has approved the establishment of a state-of-the-art greenfield manufacturing facility in Chhatrapati Sambhajinagar (formerly Aurangabad), Maharashtra. This facility, established through its subsidiary Uno Minda Auto Innovations Private Limited (“UMAIPL”), will focus on high-voltage electric powertrain products for four-wheeler passenger vehicles.
The new plant will assemble and manufacture advanced systems, including Electric Drive Units (EDU) and Dedicated Hybrid Transmission (DHT) systems. This strategic expansion is backed by significant new orders for EDU and DHT systems from a key anchor customer.
The project involves a total estimated investment of ~550 Crore, to be funded through a mix of debt and equity. Capital expenditure will be phased over the next two years, with the facility expected to be commissioned by Q2 FY28.
This is the second EV powertrain plant announced by UMAIPL in quick succession, following the ongoing setup of its facility in Khed City, Pune, which is slated to begin operations in H2 FY27.
As India’s automotive industry accelerates toward advanced powertrains, including Battery Electric Vehicles (BEVs), Hybrid Electric Vehicles (HEVs), Plug-in Hybrids (PHEVs), and Range Extended EVs (REEVs)-Uno Minda is solidifying its first-mover advantage through progressive localization and world-class manufacturing.
Mr. Ravi Mehra, Managing Director, Uno Minda Limited, said: “The Indian automotive landscape is undergoing a structural shift toward sustainable mobility, and Uno Minda is at the forefront of this transition. By establishing our second dedicated EV powertrain plant in Maharashtra, we are not only expanding our capacity but also advancing our product offerings with Electric Drive Unit and DHT. Our commitment remains firm: to lead the localization of high-voltage powertrain technologies in India, ensuring that our partners have access to global-standard innovation right at their doorstep.”
