Gurugram – Uno Minda Limited, a global leader in automotive components and systems, delivered strong financial results for the first quarter of the financial year 2025-26 (Q1 FY26), reflecting continued momentum across both traditional and emerging business segments. The company reported consolidated revenue of ₹4,489 crore, marking an 18% year-on-year (YoY) growth compared to ₹3,818 crore in Q1 FY25.
This solid performance was driven by increased demand across Uno Minda’s core product lines including switches, lighting systems, alloy wheels, and seating systems, coupled with growth in newer, technology-driven segments such as sensors, advanced driver-assistance systems (ADAS), and electronic controllers.
Additionally, the Q1 FY26 revenues included an incentive income of ₹69 crore, related to a prior period, which added to the topline growth. Excluding this non-recurring income, the company still maintained a healthy operating trajectory.
