Axles India Limited

Axles India, established in 1982 as a joint venture with Eaton and later involving Dana Holding Corporation and Indian partners Wheels India and Sundaram Finance, is a leading manufacturer of axle housings for Medium and Heavy Commercial Vehicles. Headquartered in Tamil Nadu, the company produces approximately 280,000 pressed axle housings annually at its Sriperumbudur and Cheyyar plants. Initially supplying 10,000 axle housings to Ashok Leyland, Axles India expanded with a second facility in 1995 to meet growing domestic demand and added Drive Head assembly production in 2003. An Export Oriented Unit (EOU) was launched in 2006 to serve international markets, though the Drive Head business was later divested to Dana India Private Limited in 2011.
