Sona BLW Precision Forgings Limited (Sona Comstar), a manufacturer and supplier of automotive systems and components, has announced its entry into the robotics components manufacturing business. The company will invest Rs. 62.6 crore as capital expenditure (CapEx) to establish this new business segment.
Sona Comstar Expanding Beyond the Automotive Industry
According to the company’s stock exchange filing, Sona Comstar will manufacture components and systems for advanced robotics, marking its diversification beyond the automotive sector.
The company said that the move will allow it to enter new markets and broaden its existing product portfolio. This will also create long-term growth opportunities by reducing its dependence on the automotive industry.

Sona Comstar Existing Presence Across India and Overseas
In addition to its upcoming robotics business, Sona Comstar operates 11 manufacturing and assembly facilities across multiple locations in India and overseas. These plants manufacture and assemble components for Electric Vehicles (EVs), commercial vehicles, and Internal Combustion Engine (ICE) cars.
In India, the company has two manufacturing plants in Manesar, Gurugram, where it produces assemblies, e-drive modules, and other advanced *driveline products. Sona Comstar’s facility in Pune manufactures driveline products for both electric vehicles (EVs) and internal combustion engine (ICE) vehicles, while its Tamil Nadu plant produces EV traction motors, alternators, and Integrated Starter Generators (ISGs).
Outside India, Sona Comstar has manufacturing facilities in the United States, Mexico, and China, supporting its global customer base.
*The driveline is the vehicle system that distributes power from the engine and transmission to the wheels.
India’s Robotics Industry Gaining Momentum
India’s robotics manufacturing ecosystem is witnessing healthy growth, with the industry moving from component assembly to the design and production of advanced, engineered robotics systems.
Several Indian companies are already active in this space. Bengaluru-based Systemantics India Private Limited develops and manufactures indigenous collaborative robots. Further, Addverb Technologies, headquartered in Noida, designs and manufactures robotic hardware, including motor drivers, actuators, and printed circuit boards (PCBs). Another Bengaluru-based deep-tech startup, CynLr (Cybernetics Laboratory), focuses on building Visual Object Intelligence platforms for industrial robotics.
According to International Market Analysis Research and Consulting (IMARC) Group, India’s robotics market for manufacturing reached 7.6 thousand units in 2025. The market is projected to grow to 28.5 thousand units by 2034, registering a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 15.39% during 2026–2034.
