Sona BLW Precision Forgings, one of the leading global providers of mobility technology solutions, announced the achievement of two significant production milestones. The company has successfully manufactured 500 million differential gears and 10 million differential assemblies since its inception, marking another important milestone in its journey and reinforcing its position as a key global driveline solutions provider
Sona Comstar designs and manufactures differential assemblies, precision-forged differential gears and other driveline components for Battery Electric Vehicles (BEV), Passenger Vehicles, Commercial Vehicles, and Offhighway Vehicles. The company is among the leading global manufacturers of differential assemblies for BEVs and continues to strengthen its presence across conventional and electric mobility platforms. According to company estimates, Sona Comstar held an estimated 8.7% global market share in differential gears in CY25, up from 4.5% in 2019, reflecting its growing global relevance and deepening customer relationships.
Sona Comstar began production of precision-forged differential gears at its Gurugram plant in 1999, followed by its Pune facility in 2005. Over the years, the company has steadily expanded its manufacturing capabilities and strengthened its position as a trusted supplier of high-precision driveline components to customers across global markets.
The company crossed the production milestone of 100 million gears in 2013 and 200 million gears in early 2018. Production thereafter accelerated, with the next 100 million gears being manufactured in three years, and the 400 million milestone achieved within a further two and a half years. The achievement of 500 million differential gears, with the most recent 100 million produced within the last two years, reflects the Company’s sustained growth momentum, expanding scale, and continued customer demand for its products.
On the differential assemblies’ front, the company started manufacturing at its Gurugram plant in 2008 and subsequently expanded production to Pune in 2014. In 2019, the company began production at a new, state of-the-art plant in Manesar. It produced its one-millionth differential assembly in 2017 and reached the milestone of 5 million assemblies by 2023. The next 5 million differential assemblies were produced in less than three years, highlighting the company’s strong growth trajectory, expanding scale, and rising customer demand.
Commenting on the milestone, Vivek Vikram Singh, Group CEO, Sona Comstar, said: “We are proud to celebrate these important milestones of our Driveline Business. They reflect the scale we have built over the years, our commitment to engineering excellence, and the trust our customers have placed in us globally. I thank our customers, suppliers, and employees for their continued support and contribution to this achievement. As mobility continues to evolve, we remain focused on innovation, expanding our integrated driveline capabilities, and delivering high-quality solutions that meet the changing needs of our customers across EV and conventional platforms.”
