Uno Minda to expand capacity, announces new facilities in Indonesia and India – Industry News

Uno Minda Limited, a leading global supplier of exclusive automotive systems and solutions to original equipment manufacturers (OEMs), announced on Thursday that the company will expand its capacity with new facilities in Indonesia and India.

In a regulatory filing, Uno Minda said its wholly-owned subsidiary PT Minda Asean Automotive (PTMA) has secured additional orders, including orders for long tail lamps for passenger cars from Indonesian OEMs. To meet this growing demand, Uno Minda will establish a new manufacturing plant in Indonesia, which is expected to be operational by the fourth quarter of FY26. Uno Minda has had a significant presence in Indonesia since 2015, when it established its first manufacturing plant in the country.

PTMA currently supplies components and systems to leading two-wheeler manufacturers in the country. The new plant will enable Uno Minda to diversify its product offering and meet the growing demand for passenger car components. Once the new plant is commissioned, the existing plant will also be relocated to the new site to consolidate operations and achieve economies of scale. The total capital expenditure for the new plant is estimated at Rs 210 crore.

In addition to its expansion in Indonesia, Uno Minda is also expanding its domestic capabilities. One of its key subsidiaries, Uno Mindarika Private Ltd (UMRPL), recently set up a greenfield plant in Farrukhnagar, Gurugram, Haryana. In Phase 1 of this greenfield plant, it has set up manufacturing facilities for auto parts manufacturing. UMRPL will be relocating the existing manufacturing plant from Manesar, Nawada Fatehpur, Haryana to Farrukh Nagar, Haryana in Phase II with an investment of Rs 120 crore. The phased relocation will be completed by Q3 FY27, ensuring uninterrupted supply to customers and providing flexibility for future growth.

In addition to the aforementioned expansion in Indonesia and India, Uno Minda said that its joint venture, Toyoda Gosei Minda India Pvt Ltd, through its subsidiary Toyoda Gosei South India Pvt Ltd, will set up a new plant in Harohalli, Karnataka. This plant will manufacture safety systems (airbags, steering wheels, etc.) and interior and exterior products (consoles, etc.) to meet the increased demand. The total capital expenditure for this new plant in Harohalli is estimated at Rs 283 crore, with operations expected to commence in Q1 FY27.
