This plant will manufacture electric drive units and dedicated hybrid transmissions, with production targeted to begin in the second quarter of FY28. A related casting facility, with an investment of ₹210 crore, is also planned in the region to help localise components for electric and hybrid systems.
In Haryana, Uno Minda's new sunroof plant at Bawal is targeted for commissioning in the fourth quarter of FY27. The ₹62.5-crore facility is being set up under a technology licensing agreement with Japan's Aisin Corporation.
A separate two-wheeler alloy-wheel plant is also being set up at Bawal, with an annual capacity of around 1.5 million units and an investment of around ₹200 crore. The facility is expected to begin commercial operations in the second quarter of FY27.
The company stated that seven of its 12 ongoing projects are scheduled to begin production or move through the ramp-up phase during FY27, as part of what it described as its most ambitious manufacturing expansion to date.
