Our Journey
We began our journey as a small auto parts trading firm in 1958 which later transitioned into a partnership firm, Minda Industries, in 1962. Minda Industries Limited was incorporated in 1992 with an objective to take over the business of partnership firm Minda Industries. Starting with our first manufacturing site in Wazirpur (Haryana), today we have spread our operations across the world with manufacturing facilities in eight different countries and 72 plants globally. Over the years, we have added various new products to our product portfolio such as automotive switching systems; automotive lighting systems; acoustics systems for the automotive industry; automotive seating systems; Alloy Wheels and other products like general aluminium die casting, various components for electric vehicles, blow moulding, hoses (brakes and fuel), fuel caps, air filters, air bags, CNG and LPG kits, speakers, and infotainment, among others. We have formed many alliances in the form of Joint Ventures/ Technical Agreements with globally renowned technology leaders from Japan, Italy, Germany and Taiwan, starting with the creation of ‘Minda Rika’, a Joint Venture between Minda Industries Limited and Tokai Rika to manufacture 4-wheeler switches.
