Veritas Automotive: parts made right, delivered on time
Welcome to Veritas Automotive!
Veritas Automotive is a Tier 1 automotive supplier based in Chennai, Tamil Nadu. Vehicle manufacturers build very few of a car's parts themselves. They rely on suppliers like us to make complete components and deliver them straight to their assembly plants, often several times a day.
We make seat structures, door modules, electric motors and brake components for passenger, utility and commercial vehicle programmes. When a customer asks for 2,000 parts a day, delivered just in time and with zero defects, we plan our whole plant around that commitment. Every part is tested before it ships.

We don't just make parts. We keep lines running.
Built around our customers' lines
If a supplier delivers late or ships a bad part, a vehicle manufacturer's assembly line can stop. So everything in our plant revolves around two things: keeping our own lines running and getting every part right.
Our production, maintenance, quality, engineering, materials, safety and HR teams work toward that goal on every shift. Our quality, environment and safety systems are run to IATF 16949, ISO 14001 and ISO 45001.
Our products
Door modules
Door carrier modules with window regulators, latches, wiring and speaker mounts, supplied ready to fit.
Electric motors
Window-lift, seat-adjust and wiper motors and actuators, each tested for current draw, speed and noise.
Brake components
Caliper brackets, brake pipes and pedal box assemblies, each pressure-tested before dispatch.
From schedule to shipment
Every part follows the same five steps, and each step is built to catch problems before they reach the customer.
- 01
Plan
The OEM sends its delivery schedule. Our planners decide what each line builds on each shift.
- 02
Receive
Steel coil, plastic resin and bought-out components are inspected, recorded and put away.
- 03
Make
Stamping presses, robotic welders, injection moulding machines and assembly stations build the part.
- 04
Test
Automated test stands check pressure, electrical function and dimensions. Failed parts are rejected automatically.
- 05
Pack & ship
Parts go into customer-specific trolleys and bins and reach the assembly plant several times a day.
Keeping the lines running. Every shift.
A machine that stops can stop a customer's assembly line. Our maintenance team of electricians, fitters and technicians covers all three shifts, and every job is logged in our CMMS (computerised maintenance management system).
Mechanical faults go to a fitter and electrical faults to an electrician. Repeat failures get a root-cause analysis so they stop for good. Major overhauls are planned for the Diwali and annual shutdowns.
Fix it now
An operator raises the call or the andon alarm lights up. A technician troubleshoots, finds the cause and gets the line running again.
Fix it before it breaks
Every machine has a PM schedule. The CMMS raises work orders automatically, and we do them on Sundays, at changeovers and during shutdowns.
Make it better
Upgrading ageing equipment, removing repeat failures, and installing and commissioning new machines.
The numbers we run on
Downtime↓ Lower is better
Minutes of production lost to breakdowns.
MTBF↑ Higher is better
Mean time between failures: how long machines run between breakdowns.
MTTR↓ Lower is better
Mean time to repair: how quickly a stopped machine runs again.
PM completion↑ Higher is better
Share of scheduled preventive maintenance done on time.
Safety incidents○ Target: zero
Every incident and near miss is reported and investigated.
Overtime hours↓ Kept under control
Tracked weekly as a measure of planning and cost discipline.
Maintenance spend= Within budget
Spares, contractors and rentals against the annual budget.
Handover✓ Every shift
Written notes so the next shift knows what broke and what is still open.
Seven teams. One plant.
Production
Runs the machines and builds parts across three shifts. Maintenance's main internal customer.
Maintenance
Keeps machines, utilities and the building working, with electricians, fitters and technicians on every shift.
Quality
Makes sure every part meets specification, and flags machines that drift out of tolerance.
Engineering
Designs processes and installs new equipment, then hands it over with documentation and spares lists.
Materials & Purchasing
Buys and stores raw material, components and spares, including critical spares stock.
Environment, Health & Safety
Keeps people safe through lockout-tagout, permit-to-work and safety audits.
HR & Industrial Relations
Looks after our people, shift rosters, overtime, grievances and union relations.
Validation & Test Centre
Tested for Indian conditions
Our Validation & Test Centre supports our customers' vehicle development programmes. Here our customers are test engineers, and downtime means delayed vehicle programmes, so the same maintenance discipline applies.
Dynamometers
Engine and chassis dynamometers run an engine, or a whole vehicle on rollers, through performance and durability cycles. Think of it as a treadmill for cars.
Emissions test cells
Sealed test cells measure what comes out of the exhaust, supporting development work toward Bharat Stage VI and future emission norms.
Environmental chambers
Climatic rooms from −40 °C to +55 °C heat, cool and humidify components or complete vehicles, from Himalayan cold to Rajasthan summer heat and monsoon humidity.
Building & utility systems
HVAC, fire suppression, compressed air, high-tension power and test-fuel storage are maintained to statutory standards, including PESO licensing and Factories Act inspections.
A shift in the life of a maintenance lead
- Shift startRead the previous shift's handover log: what broke and what is still open.
- Morning meetingMeet production. "Line 3 keeps faulting. What's the plan?"
- Assign workHand out breakdown jobs and PM work orders to the crew.
- Gemba walkCheck on jobs, spot safety issues, talk to operators.
- FirefightingA critical machine goes down. Decide who to pull off other work to fix it.
- SparesRaise indents, chase late deliveries, check critical spares stock.
- Admin & reportingApprove attendance, overtime and leave. Update downtime, PM and overtime numbers.
- Shift endWrite the handover notes for the next shift.
