Sona BLW signs DENSO agreements to form two EV powertrain JVs, sell 49% of motors subsidiary

With its June-quarter results, Sona BLW disclosed definitive agreements with Japan's DENSO to form two EV powertrain joint ventures and sell DENSO a 49% stake in its EV motors subsidiary.

What was filed

On 23 July 2026, Sona BLW Precision Forgings' board approved unaudited standalone and consolidated results for the quarter ended 30 June 2026, both carrying unmodified limited-review reports from Walker Chandiok & Co LLP. Consolidated revenue and profit were higher than the same quarter a year earlier, though consolidated profit for the period was below the immediately preceding March quarter, per the filing. The company continues to operate in a single reportable segment, "Mobility components, systems and sub-systems".

The DENSO joint ventures

The more forward-looking disclosure sits in the notes, not the results table. On 22 July 2026 the company signed definitive agreements with DENSO Corporation Japan to form two joint ventures for developing, manufacturing and selling electric and hybrid powertrain systems. One JV, owned 51:49 between DENSO and Sona, will address high-voltage liquid-cooled EV traction motors and controllers for four-wheelers and larger vehicles; the other, owned 51:49 between Sona and DENSO, will cover air-cooled motors and controllers for two- and three-wheelers.

As part of the arrangement, and subject to customary conditions, Sona will slump-sell its existing EV motors and controllers business — held in a wholly owned subsidiary — at fair market value based on an independent valuer's report, with DENSO buying a 49% equity stake in that subsidiary. Both partners will also pay royalty from their respective majority-owned JVs, per the filing.

Other board actions

The filing records that the Nomination and Remuneration Committee granted 1,00,000 employee stock options on 16 June 2026, and allotted 1,70,747 equity shares to the Managing Director and Group CEO at face value under the Sona Performance Share Plan 2025, based on FY 2025-26 performance metrics. Shareholders approved a final dividend for FY 2025-26 at the AGM held on 15 July 2026. The company noted it received a dividend from one of its wholly owned subsidiaries during the quarter. The prior-year quarter also included the completed acquisition of the Railway Business of Escorts Kubota Limited, accounted from 1 June 2025.

‡ Computed by us from the filing’s own figures — not a company-stated number.

For a holder, the DENSO agreements would reshape how the EV motors and controllers business is owned and operated — moving it into jointly owned ventures and selling a 49% stake in the existing subsidiary — while the quarter's results show the ongoing trend in revenue and profit; the JV terms remain subject to customary conditions, per the filing.
