INTRODUCTION
Salem has evolved into a hub for small and medium-scale manufacturing, especially in the automobile and engineering sectors, thanks to its strategic location and industrial strength. With growing demand from OEMs, it’s an ideal time to start an automobile components business in Salem. If you’re planning to manufacture or supply parts like gears, brake pads, or electronic modules, registering your company legally is the crucial first step.
Filing Point, one of Tamil Nadu’s most trusted and experienced company registration service providers, can guide you from day one. With professional assistance, you can ensure full legal compliance, quick registration, and a strong foundation for future growth.
WHY SALEM IS PERFECT FOR AUTO COMPONENT MANUFACTURING
Salem’s strategic location, industrial infrastructure, and engineering workforce make it an ideal city for setting up an automobile parts manufacturing or trading business.
Firstly, Salem is located close to Hosur, Coimbatore, and Chennai—all of which are part of Tamil Nadu’s massive automobile manufacturing corridor. Major brands like Ashok Leyland, Hyundai, TVS, Daimler, Renault-Nissan, and others operate in these regions and depend heavily on Tier 1 and Tier 2 suppliers for components. By setting up your base in Salem, you gain proximity to these OEMs.
Secondly, Salem has well-developed industrial areas such as the SIDCO Industrial Estate, Steel Plant Road clusters, and Mettur region. These zones provide plug-and-play facilities, reliable electricity, and access to skilled labor. The presence of local steel mills, fabrication workshops, and casting units also helps in easier raw material sourcing and job work.
Lastly, the city is well connected by rail and highways, which ensures smooth logistics for both domestic and export deliveries.
TYPES OF COMPANIES YOU CAN REGISTER
Depending on your business plan, investment size, and ownership pattern, you can choose the right company structure. The choice impacts everything—from ease of funding to taxation and liabilities.
Private Limited Company (Pvt Ltd)
A Private Limited Company is a preferred structure for those planning to run a scalable and growth-oriented manufacturing business. It offers limited liability to directors, allows multiple shareholders, and builds credibility with banks, clients, and investors. A Pvt Ltd company can raise equity investment and participate in government tenders easily.
One Person Company (OPC)
If you’re a solo entrepreneur looking to start a small unit that produces or trades limited auto parts, an OPC is the right choice. It allows you to operate as a private company with a single director and enjoy limited liability protection. It’s best suited for small tool rooms or shops focused on a specific set of parts.
Limited Liability Partnership (LLP)
LLPs are ideal when two or more partners wish to collaborate—especially in joint ventures, machine shops, or CNC units. It combines the flexibility of a partnership with limited liability features.
STEP-BY-STEP COMPANY REGISTRATION PROCESS IN SALEM
Let’s look at the detailed process involved in registering your automobile components company in Salem with the help of Filing Point.
Step 1: Choose and Reserve a Company Name
Your company name must be unique and ideally reflect your line of activity. For example, names like “Salem Auto Parts Pvt Ltd” or “Dyno Brakes OPC” offer clarity and relevance. Filing Point will check the availability and file the name reservation request using the RUN (Reserve Unique Name) service or directly through SPICe+.
Step 2: Apply for Digital Signature Certificate (DSC)
All directors or designated partners must obtain a Class 3 Digital Signature Certificate (DSC) to digitally sign incorporation documents. This is mandatory for online filing. Filing Point arranges fast-track DSC processing with Aadhaar-based verification.
Step 3: Obtain Director Identification Number (DIN)
DIN is a unique number assigned to each company director. It is applied during the company registration process and must be obtained before final submission. If you are forming an OPC or Pvt Ltd, DIN will be allotted automatically through SPICe+.
Step 4: Prepare and File SPICe+ Form
SPICe+ is a consolidated incorporation form introduced by the Ministry of Corporate Affairs. It covers:
- Company registration
- PAN and TAN application
- GST registration
- EPFO & ESIC registration (if applicable)
- Professional Tax (for Tamil Nadu)
Filing Point prepares your Memorandum of Association (MOA) and Articles of Association (AOA) with the right business activities coded under NIC.
Step 5: Certificate of Incorporation Issued by ROC
After verification of documents and approval of the SPICe+ application, the Registrar of Companies (RoC) issues a Certificate of Incorporation (COI). This certificate confirms that your company is legally formed.

Step 6: Open a Business Bank Account
Once you receive the Certificate of Incorporation, PAN, and TAN, you can approach any bank to open a current account in the company’s name. This account will be used for all official transactions, payments, and purchases.
Step 7: Apply for GST Registration
If your business involves the sale or supply of goods across states or crosses the turnover threshold, GST registration is mandatory. Almost all auto components businesses require GST as they deal with taxable goods. Filing Point completes this step as part of the bundled service.
DOCUMENTS REQUIRED FOR REGISTRATION
Here’s a checklist of key documents required to register your auto components company in Salem:
- PAN card of directors or partners

- Collateral-free bank loans
- Subsidies on patent registration
- Interest rate exemptions
- Easier access to government tenders
Filing Point will help you register your unit under Udyam portal.
