Godrej Tooling is playing a key role in India’s fast-growing EV sector by delivering high-precision dies and tooling solutions. With a focus on localisation and innovation, the company is helping strengthen the EV supply chain while supporting the Make in India vision.

Godrej Enterprises Group’s Tooling division supports India’s rapidly increasing electric vehicle (EV) market by delivering innovative, high-precision tooling solutions. As the automobile industry transitions to EV adoption, Godrej Tooling has expanded its ability to provide high-precision dies and tooling systems for crucial components, including battery boxes and sheet metal parts.

To satisfy expanding demand, the company has invested 2-3% of its income in R&D and modern machinery, resulting in increased innovation and manufacturing efficiency. With May 2025 EV sales up 28% year on year and 1.96 million units sold in FY2025, the demand for domestically manufactured, high-precision EV components has increased. Electric vehicle-related tooling orders currently account for 10-15% of the company’s revenues.

Pankaj Abhyankar, Business Head, Tooling business, Godrej Enterprises Group, stated, “Our focus on precise tooling enables Tier 1 and Tier 2 suppliers to meet EV standards while contributing to the government’s ‘Make in India’ agenda and lowering dependency on imports. India’s EV transformation is about more than just cars; it’s about creating a robust, self-sufficient, and globally competitive ecosystem. We are delighted to help by providing solutions that reduce lead times, increase cost efficiency, and ensure product reliability.”

Godrej Tooling is also looking into localising some of the tools it now manufactures overseas, intending to reduce import dependence, increase exports, and create secondary markets for localised solutions. This combined focus on worldwide servicing and domestic production reflects the company’s desire to establish India as a base for world-class tooling exports.
