Established in 2003, Sona Special Power Electronics & Electric Drives (SonaSPEED) has evolved into a globally recognized center for advanced electrical machines and mechatronic engineering. As part of The Sona Group, SonaSPEED provides cutting‑edge solutions across aerospace, defense, space, marine, heavy engineering, e‑mobility, and industrial sectors. From its inception, SonaSPEED specialized in the design and realization of space‑grade motors, including Brushless DC motors, Permanent Magnet and Hybrid Stepper Motors, and reaction wheels. Its vision has consistently focused on delivering military‑ and space‑quality indigenous technologies, strengthening India’s self‑reliance in precision engineering.

Across two decades, SonaSPEED has powered several flagship missions. Its motors have played pivotal roles in Chandrayaan‑2, Chandrayaan‑3, and the Reusable Launch Vehicle (RLV‑LEX) experiment, including a 25kW Quadruplex BLDC motor used for the helicopter‑hoisted autonomous landing test.

SonaSPEED's Simplex Permanent Magnet Stepper Motors were crucial in the NASA–ISRO NISAR mission, enabling precise cryogenic fuel‑mixture regulation during the GSLV‑F16 launch. The organization has earned multiple commendations from ISRO, VSSC, NIOT, DRDO, and other institutions for its high‑performance components capable of withstanding extreme environments—including 5000‑meter ocean depths and rigorous space‑environment tests.

Today, SonaSPEED stands as a symbol of India’s engineering excellence, contributing mission‑critical capabilities that continue to advance national and international scientific ambitions.
