Uno Minda Sets the PACE at BMGE 2025

UNO Minda has been at the forefront of automotive innovation, consistently pushing the boundaries of technology to align with evolving market trends. “At this year’s Auto Expo, we showcased cutting-edge innovations aligned with the megatrends of Personalized, Autonomous, Connected, and Electric (PACE) mobility,” says Nirmal K Minda, Chairman and Managing Director, UNO Minda Limited. The company’s exhibit featured advanced lighting solutions such as connected pixel-based digital tail lamps and OLED lamps, along with personalized and smart vehicle control technologies like augmented reality heads-up displays and capacitive switches.

UNO Minda has been a key player in India’s electric mobility transition, demonstrating its leadership through an expanding product portfolio. “Our dedicated Green Mobility Zone underscored our commitment to electrification with technology demonstrators like the TD125 electric skateboard, TD425 electric buck, and TD225 electric bike,” he adds. The company has achieved market leadership in EV-specific components for two-wheelers and three-wheelers, with significant momentum in the four-wheeler segment.

“The industry is rapidly moving towards sustainable solutions, and our innovations reflect this shift,” notes Minda. The company is investing in highly integrated e-axles for improved efficiency, intelligent battery management systems, and dual charging capabilities that enhance usability. “With strategic global collaborations, such as our partnership with Inovance for e-axles and charging control units, we are ensuring that India remains at the center of the electric mobility revolution,” he adds.

Technology and consumer-centric solutions remain the cornerstone of UNO Minda’s success. “We have over 1,200 engineers across 37 R&D centers worldwide, constantly working on next-generation automotive solutions,” states Minda. The company’s innovations include gesture controls, connected infotainment systems with Apple CarPlay, and ADAS features such as blind-spot detection and adaptive braking. “We are taking personalization to the next level, ensuring that safety and immersive driving experiences go hand in hand,” Minda asserts.

UNO Minda’s strategic vision is strongly driven by innovation and long-term partnerships. “We have pioneered several industry-firsts in India, from localized wireless chargers to advanced switch technologies,” says Amit Jain, Group CTO, UNO Minda Limited. The company collaborates with global leaders such as AISIN for sunroofs, StarCharge for wall-mounted EV chargers, and Friwo for electric powertrain solutions. “Our approach is simple – to bring the best technologies to India, manufacture them locally, and make them globally competitive,” he explains.

India’s auto component industry is undergoing rapid transformation, and UNO Minda is well-positioned to leverage this growth. “India is emerging as a global hub for auto component sourcing, with a trade surplus in FY24,” says Minda. “With government initiatives like the Production Linked Incentive (PLI) scheme, we are enhancing our competitiveness and attracting foreign investment.” Jain echoes this sentiment, adding, “Indian manufacturers are gaining global trust by adhering to international quality standards and delivering cost-competitive solutions. This will only strengthen our position in the global supply chain.”

As UNO Minda continues to drive innovation, its focus remains clear—staying ahead of market trends and offering solutions that shape the future of mobility. “Our vision is to be a global technology leader, and we are committed to bringing transformative advancements to the automotive industry,” concludes Minda.
