Uno Minda approved another ₹85 cr investment to expand sunroof manufacturing capacity at Bawal in Haryana, with the additional capacity expected by the second quarter of FY28. The project followed new customer orders and adds to a broader investment cycle covering premium vehicle features, electric mobility, exports and higher component content per vehicle. 🚗
The announcement was reflected in the stock’s market performance on 06 Nov 2026. OI Charts data showed a close of ₹712.65, up 2.7% on the day, with volume at 346,715 shares. The stock gained 12.7% over five sessions and 8.0% over 20 sessions, although it remained below its 52-week high of ₹769.00 recorded on 14 Aug 2026. OI Charts data also placed the 52-week low at ₹468.50 on 12 Mar 2026.
₹85 cr capacity expansion
• The new Bawal investment will expand sunroof production capacity and is linked to additional customer orders.
• The project follows a ₹63 cr facility approved in 2024 under a licensing agreement with Japan’s Aisin. That facility is expected to begin production by the end of FY27.
• Together, the investments increase exposure to premiumisation, electric mobility, exports and rising component value per vehicle.
The investment matters because sunroofs can raise the value of components supplied per vehicle as automakers add more premium features. Local manufacturing and the Aisin licensing arrangement can also support access to technology and customer programmes. For the automotive components sector, the move highlights how suppliers are building specialised capacity closer to demand from premium and electric vehicles. ⚙️
The financial test now shifts to execution and utilisation. Investors will track whether the Aisin-linked facility starts production by the end of FY27, whether the new Bawal capacity is delivered by the second quarter of FY28, and whether further customer orders support utilisation. Margins, cash generation and capital allocation will indicate whether the expansion cycle translates into stronger returns. 📈
The announcement forms part of a wider manufacturing shift among Indian auto-component suppliers, but the next meaningful evidence will come from commissioning updates, production ramp-up and order conversion rather than approval alone.
