India's surface treatment and industrial coatings industry is entering a period of unprecedented growth and SAR Coatings LLP, headquartered at IMT Manesar, Gurgaon, is positioned at the very epicentre of this transformation. As a trusted surface treatment company in Manesar since 2016, SAR Coatings has steadily grown from a Green Field project into one of India's most respected names in CED coating, zinc plating, zinc nickel plating, powder coating, and advanced hybrid coating solutions.

This article examines our current market presence, our expanding service portfolio, and what the booming India coatings market means for manufacturers who partner with us.

India's Surface Treatment Market Is Booming | Here's Why It Matters

Before diving into SAR's story, it is worth understanding the macro environment in which we operate.

The India surface treatment market is projected to grow at a CAGR of 6.37% from 2025 to 2033, reaching USD 1.24 billion by 2033. The broader India industrial coatings market, valued at USD 2.93 billion in 2025, is expected to touch USD 4.05 billion by 2031. In the automotive segment our primary domain India's automotive coatings market is expanding at a CAGR of 8.41% through 2030, driven by rising domestic vehicle production, growing EV adoption, and increasingly stringent corrosion protection standards.

Industry analysts have identified India as the fastest-growing market for automotive OEM coatings globally, fuelled by Green Field manufacturing investments, expanding Tier 1 supply chains, and the government's push for domestic component manufacturing.

As a CED coating service provider in Manesar operating since 2016, SAR Coatings was built for this exact environment.

Our Core Services: The Complete Surface Treatment Portfolio

SAR Coatings LLP is one of the few electroplating service providers in Manesar that offers the complete spectrum of surface treatment under one roof.

1. CED Coating — Manesar's Most Advanced Cathodic Electrodeposition Facility

CED coating (Cathodic Electrodeposition Coating) is the gold standard for corrosion protection in the automotive industry. Our CED facility at IMT Manesar is equipped with best-in-class machinery capable of achieving uniform coating thickness across complex component geometries.

Why CED Coating?

• Delivers exceptional corrosion resistance even in harsh environments
• Provides superior protection on chassis, underbody components, brackets, and structural parts
• More environmentally friendly than conventional spray painting — lower VOC emissions
• Preferred by global OEMs including Maruti Suzuki, Toyota, and BMW

If you are searching for a reliable CED coating company in Gurgaon or Manesar, SAR Coatings offers unmatched turnaround times, compliance documentation, and zero-defect delivery.

2. Zinc Plating (Rack & Barrel) | Corrosion Protection at Scale

Our Tri-Valent Alkaline Zinc Plating service covers both Rack Zinc Plating (for larger, more complex components) and Barrel Zinc Plating (for high-volume small parts like bolts, nuts, washers, and fasteners).

Zinc plating in Gurgaon and Manesar has never been more critical as automotive manufacturers demand zero-defect corrosion performance across every fastener in a vehicle, our zinc plating lines are certified, monitored, and compliant with the latest industry standards.

SAR Coatings' zinc plating service has been nominated by Maruti Suzuki India Limited as a Potential Supplier a validation that very few plating houses in India can claim.

3. Zinc Nickel Plating | High-Performance Alloy Electroplating

Zinc Nickel plating is an alloy electroplating process that co-deposits zinc and nickel to deliver significantly superior corrosion resistance compared to conventional zinc plating. It is increasingly specified for:

• EV battery housing components
• Precision automotive fasteners
• Defence and aerospace sub-assemblies
• Industrial machinery exposed to aggressive environments

4. Zinc Flake Coating (Magni®) — Non-Electrolytic Corrosion Protection

Zinc Flake coating using the Magni® system is one of the most advanced non-electrolytic corrosion protection technologies available today. Combining zinc and aluminium flakes in a low-temperature baking process, Zinc Flake coatings offer:

• High corrosion resistance without hydrogen embrittlement risk
• Excellent torque-tension performance for fastener assemblies
• Compliance with global automotive standards

SAR Coatings is an authorised applicator of Magni® Zinc Flake coatings in India a competitive advantage that places us among a select group of surface treatment companies capable of offering this premium solution.

5. Hybrid Coating | The Next Frontier in Surface Protection

Our Hybrid Coating service combines two classes of surface treatment technologies into a single, sequentially applied solution. The result is a coating system that exceeds the corrosion resistance, adhesion, and durability of either method applied alone.

6. Liquid Painting & Powder Coating | Complete Finishing Solutions

For decorative and functional finishing requirements, SAR Coatings offers both liquid spray painting and powder coating services. Our powder coating line is a state-of-the-art facility delivering durable, high-quality finishes across metal products of varying geometries and complexity.

The Road Ahead: SAR Coatings and India's EV Opportunity

The shift to Electric Vehicles is not just a trend — it is a structural transformation of the automotive industry. For surface treatment companies, EVs bring new requirements: coatings for battery enclosures, thermal management components, lightweighted aluminium structures, and high-frequency electrical connectors.

Zinc Nickel Plating, CED Coating, and Zinc Flake systems are all centrally relevant to the EV component coating ecosystem — and SAR Coatings already offers all three. As India's EV production ramps up through 2026 and beyond, we are ready to be the go-to surface treatment partner for EV-grade components emerging from Haryana's industrial clusters.
