The company was incorporated in 1981 with the name Tarapur Cables Private Limited. Initially, the company dealt with wiring, horns and lamps in the automotive segment. In 1985, the company changed its name to Minda Wirelinks and started manufacturing for Indian clients and expanded to markets outside India.

In 1994, Minda Corp became a public limited company. The company also started with global distribution and joint ventures. It entered into a partnership with Huf Hulsbeck Furst GmbH & Co. of Germany to enter the ignition switches segment in 1996. The company was renamed as Minda Huf Limited.

In 2003-04, the auto ancillaries company started the production and sales of electronic security systems for original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) like Tata Motors, Mahindra & Mahindra, Hyundai, and Hero Honda. It also started catering to the replacement market of India. The company acquired Sylea Automotive India in 2003 and its name was changed to Minda Sai Limited.

In 2007, the name was again changed to Minda Corp, as it is known today.

The company entered the door systems market with a diversification inside the company structure to serve the Indian OEMs with European standards and service assistance. They also discontinued their four-wheeler security systems business in the same year to focus on new product lines for the market. The company acquired KTSN Kunststoffechnik Sachsen GmbH & Co.

Since 2010, the company has added innovative products and strong quality to their portfolio.
