Uno Minda Approves ₹550 Crore Maharashtra Plant for 4W EV Powertrain Systems

Uno Minda Limited has announced plans to set up a greenfield manufacturing facility in Chhatrapati Sambhajinagar, Maharashtra, for high-voltage electric powertrain products for four-wheeler passenger vehicles.

The facility will be established through the company’s subsidiary, Uno Minda Auto Innovations Private Limited, and will manufacture and assemble Electric Drive Units (EDUs) and Dedicated Hybrid Transmission (DHT) systems.

The company said the expansion is supported by new orders for EDU and DHT systems from a key anchor customer.

Uno Minda has earmarked an investment of ₹550 crore for the project, which will be funded through a mix of debt and equity. The capital expenditure will be carried out in phases over the next two years, with commissioning of the plant targeted for Q2 FY28.

The announcement marks the second EV powertrain facility planned by Uno Minda Auto Innovations in recent months. The company is also setting up a plant at Khed City in Pune, Maharashtra, which is expected to begin operations in the second half of FY27.

Uno Minda said the expansion aligns with rising demand for advanced electrified powertrains, including battery electric vehicles (BEVs), hybrid electric vehicles (HEVs), plug-in hybrid electric vehicles (PHEVs) and range-extended EVs (REEVs).

Commenting on the development, Ravi Mehra, Managing Director, Uno Minda Limited, said the company is expanding both manufacturing capacity and product offerings in EV powertrain technologies while increasing localisation of high-voltage systems in India.
