Sona Comstar started producing precision forged differential gears at its plant in Gurgaon, Haryana, in 1999 and commenced production at another plant in Pune, Maharashtra, in 2005. The company marked the production of 100 million gears in 2013 and 200 million gears in early 2018 and achieved the 300 million milestone in October 2021. The next milestone of producing 400 million gear was achieved within two and half years, reflecting the company's strong growth.

Subsequently, Sona Comstar started manufacturing differential assemblies at its plant in Gurgaon in 2008. Later, in 2014, it expanded production to its Pune plant. In 2019, the company began production at a new, state-of-the-art plant in Manesar. In 2017, the company produced its one-millionth differential assembly. By 2023, it reached the milestone of producing 5 million differential assemblies. The company produced the next one million differential assemblies in less than nine months.

These achievements are the results of our customers' trust, our suppliers' support, and the efforts of our people.
