Uno Minda Ltd. is establishing a greenfield manufacturing facility in Chhatrapati Sambhajinagar, Maharashtra, to produce four-wheeler passenger-vehicle seating systems [1], [2].
This expansion allows the Indian auto components maker to diversify its product portfolio. By entering the seating systems segment, the company aims to capture growing demand within the electric-vehicle and passenger-vehicle markets while executing its FY 27 expansion strategy [3], [4].
The company plans to invest Rs 320 crore in the capital expenditure for the new plant [1], [5]. The facility is located in the state of Maharashtra at Chhatrapati Sambhajinagar, a city formerly known as Aurangabad [2], [4].
While some reports associate the greenfield facility with electric four-wheeler powertrains, other documentation specifies the plant's purpose as an entry into the passenger-vehicle seating systems space [2], [4].
Uno Minda first announced the project on May 16, 2024 [2]. The company expects the plant to begin operations in Q4 FY 2028 [4].
The move aligns with broader industry trends in India, where automotive suppliers are shifting toward integrated systems to support the transition to electric mobility [3].
“Uno Minda is establishing a greenfield manufacturing facility in Chhatrapati Sambhajinagar, Maharashtra”
Uno Minda's entry into the seating systems market represents a strategic pivot toward higher-value interior components. By establishing a dedicated greenfield site, the company reduces its reliance on existing product lines and positions itself as a comprehensive supplier for the next generation of electric passenger vehicles in India.
