Sandhar Ascast Buys Sundaram-Clayton’s Aluminium Die Casting Business

03 Apr 2025 CW Team

Sandhar Technologies Limited has announced a acquisition through its wholly-owned subsidiary, Sandhar Ascast Private Limited. The company has signed a Business Transfer Agreement (BTA) on March 26, 2025, to acquire the high-pressure and low-pressure aluminium die casting business of Sundaram-Clayton Limited (SCL) at its Hosur plant.

The Rs 1.63 billion all-cash deal marks a significant expansion for Sandhar, enhancing its presence in the die casting segment. While Sandhar has long held a strong position in High-Pressure Die Casting (HPDC), this acquisition enables it to enter the Low-Pressure Die Casting (LPDC) market, broadening its product portfolio with components such as cylinder heads, manifolds, and housings.

The deal also expands Sandhar’s production capacity by integrating higher tonnage HPDC machines (above 800T), improving efficiency and diversifying its customer base. The acquisition strengthens Sandhar’s commitment to innovation, R&D, and market leadership in the automotive and industrial sectors.

Yashpal Jain, CFO & Company Secretary of Sandhar Technologies, stated:

"This acquisition reinforces our position as an integrated solutions provider in the automotive sector. By expanding our product portfolio and manufacturing capabilities, we are driving sustainable growth and long-term value creation."

Ajay Kumar Raghav, COO of Castings, Machining & Tooling Business, added:

"This move significantly strengthens our foothold in both HPDC and LPDC markets, creating new opportunities and accelerating our growth trajectory."

With this acquisition, Sandhar is poised to become a dominant player in the aluminium die casting industry, further solidifying its market leadership.
