Uno Minda Limited said its board approved the establishment of a greenfield manufacturing facility in Chhatrapati Sambhajinagar, Maharashtra through its subsidiary Uno Minda Auto Innovations Private Limited (UMAIPL). The facility will focus on high-voltage electric powertrain products for four-wheeler passenger vehicles and will assemble and manufacture Electric Drive Unit (EDU) and Dedicated Hybrid Transmission (DHT) systems. The expansion follows significant new orders for EDU and DHT systems from a key anchor customer and is presented as a strategic move to localise advanced powertrains. The project involves an estimated investment of Rs five point five billion (bn) which will be funded through a mix of debt and equity, with capital expenditure phased over the next two years. The company expects the facility to be commissioned by Q2 FY28 and notes this is the second EV powertrain plant by UMAIPL, following the ongoing setup at Khed City, Pune, due to begin operations in H2 FY27. Management emphasised the move is intended to scale capacity and meet rising demand for electrified drivetrains. Uno Minda described the expansion as part of a broader strategy to support Battery Electric Vehicles, Hybrid Electric Vehicles, Plug-in Hybrids and Range Extended EVs through progressive localisation and world-class manufacturing. The company highlighted its long-standing manufacturing footprint and technology capabilities, noting that it operates 78 manufacturing facilities and 37 research and development centres across several countries, and maintains 18 joint ventures or technical agreements. It presented the new plant as strengthening its position as a supplier to original equipment manufacturers. The company indicated the new facility will complement its existing product portfolio and support partners with global-standard innovation and local supply chains. The release included a safe harbour caution that forward-looking statements reflect management views at the date of the announcement and are subject to risks and uncertainties.
