Uno Minda Limited has announced plans to acquire full ownership of Uno Minda Buehler Motor Private Limited by purchasing the stake held by its German partner, Buehler Motor GmbH. The move was disclosed as the company sought preliminary approval for the transaction.
Established in December 2022, the joint venture focuses on the manufacturing of traction motors used in electric two- and three-wheelers. It specializes in electronically commutated DC motors and related machinery. Operating solely within India, the company recorded a turnover of ₹516.13 lakh in FY 2024–25, a significant rise from ₹121.90 lakh in the previous year.
Uno Minda’s proposed acquisition qualifies as a related-party transaction but is expected to be executed on an arm’s-length basis. The company clarified that its promoters and affiliated entities hold no direct interest in the joint venture other than through shareholding. The acquisition aligns with Uno Minda’s existing operations in the automotive components industry, signaling a strategic fit.
The company stated that no regulatory approvals are required to complete the deal. However, the final transaction value, payment structure, shareholding percentage to be acquired, and closing timeline will be finalized following the approval of its Mergers and Acquisition Committee.
