Boost to Make in India: Uno Minda's 610 crore Expansion to Increase Domestic Production by 30%

Leading global auto manufacturer, Uno Minda Ltd. today has unveiled plans to invest more than ₹610 crore to bolster its global footprint in the Automotive market. In an attempt to seize most audience, Uno Minda will significantly focus on expanding its operations in both Indonesia and India.

This thrust of investment will allow for the establishment of a new manufacturing facility in Indonesia. It will also support the expansion of its domestic production capacity, reflecting the company’s drive to meet growing demand and enhance its product offerings.

Uno Minda’s Indonesian foray through its wholly owned subsidiary PT Minda Asean Automotive (PTMA), aims to capitalize on the growing demand for passenger car components in the region. With additional orders secured from original equipment manufacturers (OEMs), including long tail lamps for passenger cars, Uno Minda is setting up a new manufacturing facility in Indonesia.

Along with setup, the new plant is set to be operational by Q4 FY26 to manufacture components such as long tail lamps for passenger cars, driven by the increased demand from OEMs (original equipment manufacturers) in Indonesia. This is a strategic move by Uno Minda to further strengthen its footing in Indonesia where it has been operational since 2005.

In an official statement, the company said, “The new plant will consolidate our operations and achieve economies of scale.” However, in India, Uno Minda is expanding its domestic capacities with its subsidiary Uno Mindarika Pvt Ltd (UMRPL), which is setting up a new plant in Farrukhnagar, Gurugram, Haryana.

Another plant is also planned in Karnataka, with both facilities expected to commence operations by Q1 FY27. The company highlighted that the new facility would help diversify its product range and improve service delivery to the automotive sector in Southeast Asia.

In another conference, the company issued a statement saying, “Our focus on strategic growth and expansion will enable us to strengthen our position as a leading auto components manufacturer.”

With this influx of investment, Uno Minda is set to:

  • Enhance its product portfolio: This will allow Uno Minda to consolidate its footing in South Aisa by manufacturing and selling products made in india.
  • Increase its global footprint: This partnership will allow Uno Minda to further solidify its face on the map of the global automotive market.
  • Strengthen its presence in the Indonesian market: While strengthening its position in India, Indonesia will rise above as Uno Minda has been operational since 2005 in Indonesia. This seniority will offer Indonesia a step up in the auto market.
  • Boost domestic capacity: Being operational in both India and Indonesia and manufacturing units in the country itself will allow faster and more efficient distribution of product.

As the automotive sector continues to grow in both Southeast Asia and India, Uno Minda’s proactive investment strategy ensures that it remains a key supplier to leading OEMs.
