They are a leading manufacturer of aluminium wheels with evolved cutting-edge technologies. This agreement is expected to bring in considerable technical expertise in the aluminium wheel segment for Wheels India. We are confident that this agreement will also help us win new businesses and bolster our competitive advantage in the cast aluminium segment.”

On market expansion, he added: “Through this agreement, we are hoping to make fresh inroads into the Japanese OEMs in India in the alloy wheel segment.”

To support growth, Wheels India is expanding annual capacity at its Thervoy Kandigai plant to 7 lakh wheels per annum from the current 5 lakh, with completion expected by the end of next quarter. The company also plans a further expansion to 10 lakh wheels per annum, targeted for completion by the end of FY27.

Wheels India already has a joint venture with Topy Industries for steel wheels through WIL Car Wheels, in which it holds a 74 per cent equity stake, catering primarily to Japanese OEMs in India.
