Uno Minda Limited Expands Global Footprint as Indonesia Four-Wheeler Lighting Facility Begins Production

On February 5, Uno Minda Limited informed investors that it has started commercial production at its newly established four-wheeler lighting facility in Indonesia during the October–December 2026 quarter. The development marks a strategic milestone in the company’s overseas manufacturing roadmap and reinforces its focus on strengthening its presence in the Southeast Asian automotive market.
The Indonesia four-wheeler lighting facility is expected to scale operations gradually over the coming quarters, in sync with customer production schedules across the region. The company also confirmed that the transfer of its existing Indonesian lighting operations to the new plant will begin shortly and is planned to be completed within the next fiscal year.

Uno Minda Limited Strengthens Indonesia Manufacturing Base

Uno Minda Limited’s latest manufacturing expansion reflects its long-term commitment to supporting OEM production volumes in high-growth automotive markets. By consolidating operations into a modernized Indonesia four-wheeler lighting facility, the company aims to enhance operational efficiency, streamline supply chains, and improve responsiveness to customer demand.
The phased relocation of existing lighting operations will ensure business continuity while enabling the company to capitalize on upgraded infrastructure, optimized plant layout, and enhanced production technologies at the new site. This structured transition is designed to maintain delivery stability while improving manufacturing flexibility. The strategic consolidation further strengthens the company’s ability to serve domestic Indonesian automakers as well as export-focused vehicle programs from the region.

Alignment With Regional Automotive Lighting Demand

The ramp-up strategy for the new automotive lighting production unit will closely follow regional vehicle manufacturing trends. Key focus areas include:

• Matching output with OEM production volumes

• Ensuring smooth transition from legacy operations

• Enhancing capacity utilization over successive quarters

• Supporting long-term growth in the global automotive lighting market

This calibrated approach reduces execution risk, ensures synchronization with customer demand cycles, and enables scalable capacity deployment aligned with evolving production requirements.

Strategic Implications for Global Automotive Lighting Market

The commencement of commercial production in Q3 FY2026 underscores Uno Minda Limited’s expanding international footprint. Indonesia remains a critical automotive manufacturing hub in Southeast Asia, and strengthening Indonesia auto component manufacturing capabilities allows the company to deepen integration within regional supply ecosystems.
Through continued lighting plant expansion and infrastructure modernization, the company is positioning itself to capture incremental opportunities arising from rising vehicle production, increasing integration of advanced lighting technologies, and sustained demand for high-performance lighting systems in passenger vehicles. The consolidation and phased scale-up strategy are expected to drive operational efficiencies, optimize cost structures, and reinforce long-term growth objectives within the global automotive lighting market.
