What Jtekt India does

JTEKT India Limited is a publicly listed Indian automotive components manufacturer and a wholly-owned subsidiary of JTEKT Corporation Japan. Incorporated in 1984 as Sona Steering Systems Limited following a 1985 license agreement with Koyo Seiko (now JTEKT Corporation), the company operates 7-8 manufacturing facilities across India including Chennai (since 1998) and a three-plant Dharuhera cluster (2007-2011), with a registered office in New Delhi and approximately 2,000+ on-roll employees. The company was rebranded to JTEKT India Limited in 2018 and underwent two consolidative mergers — JTEKT Sona Automotive Limited in 2019 and JTEKT Fujikiko Automotive India Limited in 2024.

The company's core product portfolio spans four categories: steering systems (electric power steering including CEPS, hydraulic steering gears, R&P and RBS rack-and-pinion systems, and the Pairdriver automated steering control interface), driveline components (constant velocity joints in both long-stem and short-stem variants, driveshafts, hub units including the third-generation T-HUB), bearings (single ball bearings, tapered roller bearings, hub unit bearings via JTEKT Bearings India Private Limited subsidiary), and machine tools (grinders, machining centers, mechatronics via JTEKT Micromatic Machinery India Private Limited subsidiary). Underlying technology leverages JTEKT Corporation Japan's global manufacturing standards with localized production.

JTEKT India generates revenue through direct B2B supply contracts with Indian automotive OEMs, including Maruti Suzuki India Ltd. (which holds a board nominee seat) and "almost all" Indian passenger car and utility vehicle manufacturers, plus commercial vehicle segment customers. Pricing follows per-unit OEM contracts (not publicly disclosed). Driveline components are exported via JTEKT Corporation's global network. The company is publicly listed on BSE (520057) and has raised capital via a 2025 Rights Issue, while its parent JTEKT Corporation maintains majority ownership alongside diverse public shareholders.
