Marelli–Motherson Inaugurates Sanand Plant for Advanced Exterior Auto Lighting

The site localizes full-width single-piece lamps alongside ultra-slim headlamp modules for India’s passenger-vehicle market.

Overview

  • The Marelli Motherson Lighting India joint venture opened its second facility in Sanand to supply high‑performance exterior lighting for passenger vehicles.
  • Production capabilities include single-piece lamps spanning nearly two meters across vehicle fronts and rears plus headlamp modules only 17 millimeters high.
  • Customer‑specified configurations may add adaptive driving beam, high‑beam boost or ambient lighting features.
  • The plant is engineered for large single‑piece components with high‑tonnage injection molding and specialized overhead cranes introduced for the first time in an Indian lighting facility.
  • Sustainability measures include rooftop solar, plans for additional green power, and a 1,700‑tree planting effort, while the opening drew company leaders and a Tata Motors purchasing officer and coincided with Motherson shares closing up 1.12% at Rs 130.80 on the BSE.
