Dhoot Transmission, backed by Bain Capital, has acquired Multilink to strengthen its electronics platform and expand its presence in two-wheeler and three-wheeler segments.

Multilink supplies chargers, sensors, relays and switches to OEMs and operates manufacturing facilities in Hosur, Mysore and Manesar. The acquisition enhances Dhoot’s capabilities across electronic and electrical components while expanding its manufacturing footprint and customer base.
