Minda Corp, Toyodenso Form JV for Auto Switches in India

Minda Corporation Limited, the flagship of the Spark Minda Group, has entered into a joint venture with Japan-based Toyodenso Co. to manufacture advanced automotive switches for the Indian market. The new venture will offer end-to-end solutions encompassing design, development, manufacturing, and marketing of automotive switches across two-wheeler, passenger car, and other vehicle segments.

Minda Corporation will hold a 60 per cent majority stake in the joint venture, with Toyodenso owning the remaining 40 per cent. The partnership has already secured customer orders in India. A greenfield facility will be established in Noida, Uttar Pradesh, with commercial operations expected to begin in the second half of financial year 2026–27.

This collaboration aligns with Minda Corp’s strategy to expand its synergistic product portfolio and localise advanced technologies for the Indian automotive sector.
