Uno Minda Limited has greenlit a ₹423 crore investment plan aimed at advancing electric powertrain systems for four-wheeled vehicles. The initiative focuses on the design and production of high-voltage EV components, including integrated charging systems, electric axles, inverters, and motors.

This decision follows a February 17, 2025 update on a partnership involving Uno Minda Auto Innovations Pvt. Ltd., Suzhou Inovance Automotive Co. Ltd., and Inovance Automotive (HK) Investment Co. Ltd. As per the approved structure, Uno Minda will contribute around ₹114 crore as equity in the joint venture, securing a 70% ownership share.

Initially, the company will hold full ownership until the Hong Kong-based partner receives the necessary regulatory permissions to purchase a 30% stake.

The proposed facility is expected to have an annual production capacity of 203,043 units. Operations are set to begin in the second quarter of FY 2026–27, with full output anticipated within three years from launch. The joint venture will be operated through Uno Minda Auto Innovations Private Limited, a subsidiary established on April 5, 2023. Funding for the project will involve a mix of equity and long-term loans.

The board finalized this decision during a meeting held on April 30, 2025, from 10:30 A.M. to 10:50 A.M.
