Sansera Engineering Limited (Sansera), a leading manufacturer of precision engineered components for the automotive and non-automotive sectors, has announced a strategic joint venture with Nichidai Corporation (Nichidai), Japan, to undertake the business of manufacture of precision forged and machined parts in aluminium and steel for differential assemblies, compressors, driveline and other advanced automotive components not currently manufactured by Sansera, for sale in Indian and international markets.
The partnership will establish and operate a private limited company to be incorporated in Bengaluru, India (the “JV Company”) to undertake these manufacturing operations.
This collaboration brings together Nichidai Corporation’s 50 years of expertise in manufacturing dies, precision components, and filters developed across operations in Japan and Thailand, with Sansera’s established presence in India’s automotive sector. The partnership leverages complementary strengths to create a world-class manufacturing platform capable of serving both domestic and global markets.
The Joint Venture will operate as a private limited company to be incorporated in Bengaluru, Karnataka, India, with Sansera holding a 60% equity stake and Nichidai holding 40%. This structure reflects a commitment to building a strong, domestically anchored enterprise aligned with the Government of India’s vision of “Make in India” and “Atmanirbhar Bharat”, while leveraging international expertise and technology transfer.
This Joint Venture will enable Sansera to:
Diversify the product portfolio of precision-engineered components and derisk against their existing IC engine components.
Access new customer segments and international markets
Create additional revenue streams and improve financial performance
Strengthening competitive positioning in the automotive value chain
Create skilled employment opportunities and contribute to the economic development of Karnataka.
