According to the company’s exchange filing, the approval has been granted under Press Note 3 of 2020, issued by the Department for Promotion of Industry and Internal Trade (DPIIT), Ministry of Commerce and Industry. The approval relates to the proposed investment by Innovance Automotive (HK) Investment Co. Ltd. into Uno Minda Auto Innovations Private Limited.
The company stated that while the approval from the Ministry of Heavy Industries is an important interim milestone, the proposed investment remains subject to obtaining the necessary regulatory, statutory, and governmental approvals in the respective foreign jurisdictions, namely China and Hong Kong, before the transaction can be completed.
The proposed investment is strategically significant as it could strengthen Uno Minda’s capabilities in the rapidly evolving automotive technology ecosystem. Collaborations with global technology partners have become increasingly important as the automobile industry transitions towards electric mobility, intelligent vehicle systems, and advanced automotive electronics.

India’s auto components industry is witnessing strong structural growth, supported by rising vehicle production, increasing localization, government incentives under the Production Linked Incentive (PLI) scheme, and growing investments in electric vehicles and smart mobility solutions. Companies focusing on advanced automotive technologies are expected to benefit from these long-term industry trends.
Incorporated in 1958, Uno Minda Limited is one of India’s leading manufacturers and suppliers of automotive systems and solutions for Original Equipment Manufacturers (OEMs). The company has a diversified product portfolio spanning lighting systems, switches, alloy wheels, sensors, seating systems, casting components, and advanced automotive electronics, serving both domestic and global automobile manufacturers.
The latest government approval represents another step towards the proposed strategic investment and could strengthen Uno Minda’s long-term technology capabilities as the automotive industry continues its shift toward next-generation mobility solutions.
