Sona Comstar and DENSO Join Forces in Twin Joint Ventures for EV and Hybrid Powertrains

Sona Comstar and DENSO have announced the creation of two separate joint ventures aimed at engineering powertrain systems for both electric and hybrid vehicles. The partnership signals a deeper collaboration between the Indian component maker and the Japanese automotive supplier.

The two JVs are structured to address distinct areas of powertrain development, though the companies have not disclosed specific product lines or timelines. The move reflects a broader industry trend of suppliers pooling resources to accelerate work on electrified drivetrains.

For Sona Comstar, the tie-up with DENSO represents a strategic push into advanced powertrain technology. DENSO, meanwhile, gains a partner with established manufacturing reach in India. Neither firm has confirmed financial terms or ownership splits for the ventures.
