Partner of Choice
To find new growth avenues and drivers for future, GNA has started making
inroads into the SUV and LCV axle shaft segment with initial capacity of 5,00,000
units, which could be increased depending on the market demand. GNA is targeting
clients from North America, Europe and India in that order. This will help de-risk our
dependence on the MHCV and tractor segments, thereby enabling us to become
partner of choice for a larger customer base.

Proximity to Customers
The Company has strategically located its manufacturing facilities where
the Company has a large client base. This allows it to benefit from the lower
transportation and logistics costs as well as reach the customer in the best
possible time.

Integrated Setup
From forging to finished goods, the Company has fully integrated manufacturing
capabilities and capacities. As a result, it has the ability to manufacture customised
products to meet various customer needs. This provides greater economies of scale.

Full-Service Capabilities
The Company has full-fledged equipment such as tooling, machining and forging
systems, which provide all types of engineering solutions under one roof.

Robust Engineering Capabilities


The Company continuously upgrades its technology to develop new products and
enhance its product range, thus, also improving the manufacturing processes. The
Company has its own R&D labs such as metallurgical and metrological, which help
it to continuously innovate its products with low input and operational cost.
