Value Creation Model

Our business model is crafted to generate value for all our stakeholders, focussing on achieving excellence throughout the entire value chain. We ensure superior outcomes at each phase, from procuring raw materials to delivering premium finished products to our customers.

Adapting to Our Operating Landscape
Product Quality & Safety

The automobile industry continues to grow and produce new trends through digitalisation, integration of sustainability and varying consumer demands. As the consumption and export of automobiles grow, we are continually adapting through the expansion of our production facilities, as well as an increase in innovative capacities. While growth is at the crux of our business operations, we also prioritise elements such as product quality, safety, and reliability.

These strides allow us to not only expand our product portfolio but also serve new markets and attract potential customers. This furthers our goal of having a global impact and growing our market presence as an industry leader.

Focus on Sustainability

Given that sustainability is becoming a core part of the automobile industry, we have also begun focussing on electric automobiles/vehicles. In addition to this, we are also dedicated to the integration of sustainable input materials in our production processes. In FY 2023-24, we have utilised several recycled input materials such as recycled aluminium.

Through such efforts, we strive to not only create value for our stakeholders but also the environment around us. In addition to a focus on sustainability in production, we are also focussed on sustainability in operations through energy-efficient practices and minimisation of waste generated. Through the alignment of its operations with environmental standards and harnessing innovative solutions, the Uno Minda Group strives to reduce its environmental footprint and support India's larger objectives for sustainable development.
