Sansera Engineering has teamed up with Japan’s Nichidai Corporation to make advanced, high-quality car parts in India.
Quick context: Sansera is a key auto and industrial component maker, while Nichidai brings Japanese expertise in precision forging and tooling.
The deets: The JV will make aluminium and steel parts used inside cars, like parts for engines and power systems, that Sansera does not make right now.
A new private limited company will be set up in Bengaluru, with Sansera holding 60% and Nichidai 40%.
How it works: Nichidai will exclusively supply tooling and provide technical know-how, designs, and process support. The JV board will have 7 directors, with Sansera nominating the managing director.
Why it matters: precision auto parts are a big focus area for India right now, as global carmakers look for reliable suppliers outside China. These are high-accuracy parts used in engines, transmissions, and power systems, where even small errors can cause big problems.
This JV comes at a time when India’s auto components industry is worth nearly $75 billion and aims to cross $100 billion by 2030, with exports already touching $21 billion.
By adding Japan-grade precision manufacturing to India, the partnership helps local suppliers meet global quality standards and win export orders. Bottom line: this isn’t just about new parts, it’s about making India a serious global hub for precision auto manufacturing.
