NDR Auto Components Ltd: 5 Plants, 1,200 Cr Order Book, and a Seat at the Big Boys’ Table
1. At a Glance
NDR Auto is the quiet seat-making ninja of the auto components world — they don’t make engines roar, but they make sure your backside is comfortable while it happens. Born in 2019, they’ve already bagged an ₹1,100–₹1,200 crore order book, supply big names like Maruti, Toyota, and Kia, and are pushing into Body in White (BIW) components. With a ROCE north of 22%, debt lower than your sedan’s fuel gauge after payday, and a promoter stake above 73%, this is a small-cap growing like it just discovered protein shakes.
2. Introduction
In the hierarchy of auto components, engine makers get the fame, alloy wheel guys get the style points, and seat makers… get overlooked. NDR Auto is trying to change that — not with TikTok dances but with a steady diet of OEM orders, JVs with Japanese big shots, and expansion into premium interiors.
They make seat frames, seat trims, sunshades, and have an emerging BIW play. They’ve locked in business with Maruti Suzuki (Grand Vitara, Brezza, Fronx, eVitara, Alto, Wagon R, Dzire), Toyota (Hyryder, Urban Cruiser), Suzuki (Access, Gixxer), and Kia. Sales to Kia started Jan 2025, sunshade deliveries to Toyota began Q3 FY25.
Behind the scenes, they’ve built a multi-location manufacturing footprint in Gurgaon, Pathredi, Surendranagar, and Bangalore — strategically close to OEM plants. With annualised revenue already at ₹727 crore in FY25, management’s aiming for ₹3,000 crore by FY2030, with half of that growth expected from joint ventures and M&As.
