Wheels India Limited has taken a key step in expanding its international presence by investing €50,000 into a newly forming European subsidiary. The company’s latest entity, WIL Europe GmbH, is being established in Germany and is currently under incorporation.
This initial capital infusion, made through a cash transaction, is aimed at launching business development and supply chain operations in both automotive and non-automotive segments across the European market. The move reflects Wheels India’s broader aim to strengthen its reach and service offerings beyond India.
According to its official submission to the BSE and NSE, WIL Europe GmbH will be a fully owned arm of Wheels India. While the transaction qualifies as a related party deal under corporate rules, the company clarified that it has been executed at market terms. It also confirmed that none of the company’s promoters have any stake or interest in the new subsidiary.
The formation of WIL Europe GmbH is still awaiting the necessary regulatory clearances in both India and Germany. Wheels India has stated that it will notify the exchanges once the certificate of incorporation is officially granted. This update follows a previous announcement made in November 2023, where Wheels India had outlined its plan to create wholly owned overseas subsidiaries as part of a long-term global expansion strategy. The establishment of the German entity is expected to play a vital role in supporting the company’s operations and customer base across Europe, helping to create new growth channels and partnerships in one of the world’s most mature industrial markets.
