TRUSTED CLUTCH SUPPLIER

Q: What drives Setco’s continued advancements?

A: We have been part of the automotive industry for over 40 years, supplying clutches for commercial vehicles in India and abroad. Events like this provide an excellent platform to showcase our latest developments, interact with key stakeholders, and understand industry trends. It’s a two-way street, we get to present our products while also observing how the market is evolving. The presence of international visitors also helps demonstrate India’s capabilities in mobility solutions on a global scale.

Q: Setco is closely associated with OEMs. Which key partnerships stand out?

A: Tata Motors is our largest customer, contributing over 70 per cent of our revenue across both Original Equipment (OE) and Original Equipment Service (OES) segments. Our clutches are present in nearly all Tata trucks. Additionally, Ashok Leyland accounts for around 15 per cent of our revenue, and we are also exclusive suppliers for certain models. We maintain strong relationships with Mahindra & Mahindra, Volvo Eicher Commercial Vehicles (VECV), and other major truck manufacturers in India.

Q: What are the key products that you supply to these OEMs, and how are their requirements evolving?

A: We primarily supply clutches for Medium and Heavy Commercial Vehicles (MHCVs), covering sizes from 310 mm to 430 mm diameter, catering to trucks ranging from 10-50 tonne. As India’s road infrastructure improves, OEMs are shifting towards higher tonnage trucks. The demand for 430 mm clutches is growing significantly, and Setco has been a pioneer in manufacturing these in India.
