Samvardhana Motherson expands beyond automotive, growing aerospace business fivefold to become a tier-1 Airbus supplier.

Samvardhana Motherson International Ltd (SAMIL) expanded its aerospace business fivefold in a year and emerged as a Tier-1 supplier to Airbus. SAMIL increases aerospace revenues from ₹339 crore to ₹1,749 crore in FY25. SAMIL supplies parts for aircraft models like the A320, B737, and the complete range of LEAP engines. Its aerospace order book is nearly US$1.2 billion over the next five years.

SAMIL is establishing a greenfield unit to produce components employed in machinery for the production of semiconductor chips, which are used in the production of silicon wafers. SAMIL’s vertical expansion of capabilities evolved in the aerospace business. The new unit will also serve the electronics and advanced manufacturing sectors.

Vaman Sehgal, Deputy CEO of SAMIL, stated, “The aerospace business, which we started in this five-year journey, has already grown 5x in a year, and today we are proud to say that we are a Tier-1 supplier to Airbus. Building on the capabilities of the aerospace division, we are setting up a new greenfield to supply components for equipment used to manufacture silicon wafers. We are pivoting these industries to be serving some of the other customers, such as semiconductors and things like that.”

The company is adding consumer electronics and defence segments to diversify out of the auto industry. SAMIL has prepared a capital expenditure of ₹6,000 crore in FY26, 70 percent of which is to be used in non-auto segments.
