Neo Wheels

What Neo Wheels does

Neo Wheels Ltd is an Indian manufacturer of aluminium alloy wheels for passenger vehicles, operating from its headquarters in Mumbai and a 4-acre manufacturing facility in Nashik, Maharashtra with planned capacity of 0.5 million wheels per annum. The company uses Low Pressure Die Casting (LPDC) and Robotic Gravity Die Casting, supported by an in-house X-Ray facility, Spectro lab, CNC line, and a 15-test quality protocol; it is IATF 16949:2016, BIS, and ARAI certified, and is the only alloy wheel manufacturer in India offering a Lifetime Limited Structural Warranty. Its product range spans 100+ designs and 15+ finishes across 12" to 22" wheel sizes, including the recently launched 22" G.O.A.T — claimed to be India's first BIS-certified 22-inch wheel.

The company generates revenue primarily through one-time sales of alloy wheels to three channels: individual aftermarket consumers (via own e-commerce platform neowheels.com and 50+ distributors), OEM supply to Mahindra & Mahindra (approved supplier since 2003), and international exports to Sri Lanka, South America, Europe, Nepal, and the USA (including Nissan USA and Bombardier Inc components). Pricing is unit-based, ranging from approximately Rs 8,105 per wheel for entry-level 14" designs to Rs 26,480 for the 22" Slice, with complementary revenue from Neo Nuts accessories and a Rs 1,499 Accident Protection Plan. Distribution is hybrid: direct-to-consumer e-commerce, a 50+ distributor/dealer network, a Reliance Retail joint venture (since 2007), and event-driven marketing through Auto Expos and a Punjab Kings IPL partnership.

Neo Wheels was founded in 1993 by Sanjay Kacheria (former American Racing Inc employee) and is founder-owned with no institutional investors, funding rounds, or public listing on record. The company has reported no acquisitions, no M&A activity, and operates as a self-funded, privately held manufacturer targeting India's branded aftermarket and OEM accessory wheel segments.
