Godrej Tooling strengthens local manufacturing for next-gen mobility
Industry News- Aug 10,26
Godrej Enterprises expands advanced tooling capabilities to support localisation and next-generation automotive manufacturing.
As India's automotive industry advances towards greater localisation, next-generation mobility platforms, and increasingly sophisticated manufacturing processes, Godrej Enterprises Group's Tooling business is strengthening its advanced engineering and manufacturing capabilities to support the evolving requirements of OEMs and Tier-1 suppliers. With over 85 per cent of its business linked to the automotive sector, the company partners with customers across passenger vehicles, two-wheelers, commercial vehicles, and electric vehicle platforms through high-precision tooling solutions. Today, 95 per cent of the tooling supplied to automotive customers is manufactured locally, reflecting the growing capabilities of India's domestic tooling ecosystem.
Government initiatives such as Make in India and Production Linked Incentive (PLI) schemes, coupled with a growing emphasis on supply chain resilience, are encouraging manufacturers to increase local sourcing and reduce dependence on imports. Godrej Enterprises Group's Tooling business supports customers through a wide range of solutions, including press tools, die-casting dies, and precision tooling systems, helping manufacturers achieve high levels of productivity, quality, and operational efficiency. Beyond automotive, the business also caters to sectors such as industrial machinery, railways, metro rail, and defence manufacturing, contributing to India's broader manufacturing ecosystem.
Pankaj Abhyankar, Business Head – Tooling, Godrej Enterprises Group, said, "India's automotive industry is evolving rapidly, driven by localisation, changing mobility technologies, and the need for greater manufacturing agility. As vehicle architectures become more advanced, tooling is playing an increasingly important role in enabling precision, productivity, quality, and faster product development cycles. Our focus remains on building advanced engineering and manufacturing capabilities that help customers meet these evolving requirements while supporting India's manufacturing ambitions."
To address emerging industry needs, the business is expanding its adoption of advanced technologies including digital simulations, additive manufacturing, IoT-enabled monitoring systems, and large-tonnage die capabilities. The company is also leveraging specialised manufacturing technologies such as vacuum-assisted systems, thermo-regulation technologies, squeeze casting, and conformal cooling solutions to meet evolving performance, productivity, and quality requirements.
The Indian tooling industry is expected to witness steady growth over the coming years, driven by investments in automotive manufacturing, electric mobility, infrastructure development, and defence production. As manufacturers continue to localise supply chains and introduce next-generation products, the need for precision-engineered tooling solutions is expected to grow across sectors.
With increasing investments across automotive, railways, metro infrastructure, defence manufacturing, and industrial engineering, Godrej Enterprises Group remains focused on strengthening indigenous tooling capabilities, advancing manufacturing excellence, and supporting India's emergence as a globally competitive manufacturing hub.
