In a striking leap beyond its automotive roots, Samvardhana Motherson International Ltd (SAMIL) is now charting new terrain in high-tech industries. The company’s aerospace division has experienced a dramatic rise, growing fivefold in just one year and earning its place as a proud Tier 1 supplier to Airbus. Riding the momentum, SAMIL is also planting seeds in the semiconductor equipment space with a new greenfield facility aimed at producing critical components for chip-making machinery.
“This aerospace journey began just five years ago, and already it has grown 5x in a single year,” said Vaman Sehgal, deputy CEO of SAMIL, during the Q4 FY25 earnings call. “Today, we are proud to say that we are a Tier 1 supplier to Airbus.”
With operations across all key commercial aircraft platforms including A320, A330, A350, B737, B767, B777, and B787, and active in the entire LEAP Engine family, SAMIL has strategically extended its precision manufacturing capabilities into the skies. The aerospace segment alone generated revenue of Rs 1,749 crore in FY25, up from Rs 339 crore the previous year. The division now boasts an impressive US$1.2 billion order pipeline to be executed over the next five years.
SAMIL is now going a step further, with a state-of-the-art greenfield facility under development that will serve the growing global demand for semiconductor fabrication tools. “We are setting up a new greenfield to supply components for equipment used to manufacture silicon wafers,” added Vaman. Initially aligned with aerospace and industrial clients, the facility is expected to evolve to support the wider semiconductor, electronics, and advanced tech ecosystem.
This bold expansion is part of a larger strategy to reduce cyclicality and build resilience by exploring synergies across verticals, including consumer electronics, printed circuit boards, and defense systems. With upcoming greenfields in Bengaluru and Europe, the aerospace division becomes the cornerstone of this broader industrial pivot.
SAMIL concluded FY25 with revenue of Rs 1.13 lakh crore and a lifetime order book worth $88 billion. The firm has earmarked Rs 6,000 crore in capital investment for FY26, with 70 percent of growth-focused spending reserved for non-automotive ventures.
