Over the past decade, India has experienced a significant increase in car ownership, leading to more traffic and frequent horn usage. This has resulted in a higher incidence of horn failures, prompting a growing demand for high-quality OEM spec horns. Car owners often face the dilemma of choosing between costly replacements from the manufacturer’s service centers or settling for aftermarket alternatives, which may compromise quality, durability, and safety standards. Addressing this need, Uno Minda, a leading Tier 1 supplier of proprietary automotive solutions to Original Equipment Manufacturers (OEMs) in India, has launched a comprehensive range of D-90 horns in the Indian aftermarket.
The D-90 horn boasts a powerful performance with a 90 mm diameter and a sound output exceeding 105-110 decibels, in compliance with Indian RTO guidelines. It operates on a 12-volt power supply and requires less than 2.5 Amps of current, producing a powerful yet pleasant sound. The horn is built to withstand over 300,000 usage cycles and is certified as 100% waterproof (IS 1884:1993), with zinc-nickel black plating for rust resistance. It also includes an imported diaphragm and tungsten contact material, ensuring a longer lifespan.
Designed to withstand harsh environmental conditions and tailored for Indian driving conditions, the Uno Minda D-90 horn comes with a two-year manufacturing warranty. It is competitively priced between INR 295 and INR 855 and is available through top-tier online and offline retail outlets.
Anand Kumar, Head of Product & Strategy at Uno Minda, said, 'The original parts in cars may wear out over time, but it is not feasible for people to visit manufacturer service stations frequently, especially for horns. We understood that customers are looking for OEM-quality aftermarket horns that match the original features and safety standards at the time of their car purchase. As an OEM supplier to all major automakers in India, we have introduced the D-90 horns, providing customers with an affordable solution that meets all safety standards.' Also Read:
