Motherson Inaugurates Advanced Automotive Lighting Plant in Sanand

Motherson Group has inaugurated a state-of-the-art manufacturing facility in Sanand, Gujarat, marking a significant milestone in India’s automotive component sector. The plant has been established as a strategic joint venture with Marelli and is dedicated exclusively to producing advanced exterior lighting systems. This move further strengthens Motherson’s position in the high-value automotive lighting segment.

Cutting-Edge Manufacturing Capabilities

Spread across 8,200 square meters, the facility leverages next-generation technologies to cater to the growing demand for premium automotive lighting solutions. Notably, it is the first plant in India capable of manufacturing edge-to-edge single-piece long lighting components using high-tonnage multi-colour moulding machines ranging from 2,000T to 2,700T.

The facility has achieved several industry-first milestones, including localisation of the slimmest headlamp module in India and production of the country’s first single-piece, end-to-end Daytime Running Lights (DRL) and Rear Combination Lamps (RCL). These advancements align with the evolving design and safety requirements of modern vehicles.

Focus on Sustainability

In line with its sustainability commitment, the plant features rooftop solar power installations. The company is also planning to source open-access green energy, reinforcing its efforts to reduce carbon footprint and promote environmentally responsible manufacturing.

Commenting on the occasion, Mr Laksh Vaaman Sehgal, Vice Chairman, Motherson, said: "The inauguration of our cutting-edge automotive lighting plant underscores Motherson’s unwavering commitment to innovation, excellence, and customer-centricity.
