Sandhar Technologies Limited has significantly expanded its footprint in the automotive components industry through its subsidiary, Sandhar Ascast Private Limited. A Business Transfer Agreement executed on March 26, 2025, facilitated the acquisition of Sundaram-Clayton Limited's (SCL) high and low-pressure aluminium die casting business at its Hosur plant. This all-cash deal, valued at Rs 163 crore, subject to adjustments, marks a strategic move by Sandhar to capitalize on substantial growth opportunities in the coming financial years.
This acquisition is pivotal for Sandhar, allowing it to establish a standalone vertical for its die casting operations. By integrating SCL's established legacy with Sandhar's manufacturing prowess, the company aims to create significant synergies. This strategic expansion will not only drive growth and broaden Sandhar's customer base but also diversify its product portfolio. Notably, Sandhar, a recognized leader in High Pressure Die Casting (HPDC), is now entering the Low Pressure Die Casting (LPDC) market, a new segment poised to enhance its operational diversification.
Furthermore, the acquisition enhances Sandhar's existing HPDC capabilities by incorporating higher tonnage machines, exceeding 800T. This expansion of machinery allows Sandhar to produce a wider range of components, including critical parts like cylinder heads, manifolds, and housings, essential for both automotive and industrial applications. This strategic move goes beyond mere diversification; it establishes a foundation for Sandhar to lead in both the HPDC and LPDC markets, fostering innovation and market expansion to meet the growing demand for advanced die casting technologies.
