Sona Comstar wins ₹100 crore two-wheeler radar programme for H2 FY2028

Sona Comstar has won a ₹100 crore rear-radar sensor programme for a new Indian two-wheeler customer, according to its Q2 FY2027 investor presentation. Production is planned for the second half of FY2028. The customer and vehicle programme are unnamed, so the disclosure should not be read as a launch announcement for a particular scooter or motorcycle.

The key details

• Product: rear-radar sensing for intelligent and connected two-wheelers.

• Programme value: ₹100 crore added to the order book.

• Customer: a new Indian OEM serving ICE and electric two-wheelers, without a disclosed name.

• Planned production: H2 FY2028.

Why the radar programme is significant

The award adds a sensing product to a portfolio already supplying electric two-wheeler motors and controllers. It is evidence that component suppliers are pursuing more vehicle content beyond the mechanical parts traditionally associated with them.

Rear radar can provide information about traffic approaching from behind or within a blind spot. In its earnings discussion, the company describes warnings intended to give a rider more time to respond. The actual function depends on how the vehicle manufacturer integrates the sensor, the interface and the supporting system.

It would be premature to infer automatic braking, autonomous riding or a verified reduction in crashes from the order alone. The disclosure does not provide the final vehicle's feature list, sensor range, operating limits or customer price.

Order value, production and revenue are different milestones

₹100 crore is an order-book addition, not an amount already earned in the quarter. Programme values describe expected business over their relevant duration, subject to launch timing, volumes and execution. They should not be used as if they were annual sales.

The H2 FY2028 production marker is also a plan. It comes before any assumption about the date a particular retail vehicle reaches a showroom. The OEM controls its product announcement, while component production and vehicle deliveries can follow different schedules.

The rows show the breadth and differing timing of the disclosed business. They are not directly comparable quarterly revenue streams and do not identify the same customer or vehicle.

A growing EV business—with the correct denominator

The presentation reports 129% year-on-year growth in battery-electric-vehicle revenue for the quarter. It puts BEV revenue at 51% of automotive product revenue. That denominator matters: it is not a statement that BEVs account for 51% of every consolidated revenue category.

The company also reports a ₹25,100 crore net order book at the end of the quarter. Its definition includes expected revenue from awarded programmes that have not started or fully ramped up, with adjustments for programme endings and potential delays. An order book is therefore an indicator of planned business, rather than cash already collected or guaranteed revenue for the next financial year.

What Indian riders should watch next

The useful consumer milestone would be the vehicle manufacturer's own announcement naming the model and explaining what the rear-radar system actually does. Buyers would then be able to assess the warning interface, supported situations, limitations and additional cost.

Until that happens, attaching the award to a familiar brand or a current bike would be speculation. A conceptual sensor illustration can explain the component story without implying that an unnamed customer has launched the technology.

FAQs

Which manufacturer has placed the order?

The company identifies a new Indian two-wheeler OEM but does not name it in the checked disclosure.

Is the system available on a motorcycle today?

This award specifies a planned H2 FY2028 production start. It does not establish current retail availability on a named vehicle.

Is ₹100 crore the quarterly revenue from the sensor?

No. It is the disclosed addition to the programme order book, separate from revenue already recognised.
