London, June 16, 2025
The untimely passing of Sanjay Kapur, billionaire industrialist and Chairman of Sona Comstar, has sent ripples through India’s business and financial world. Known for transforming his family business into a ₹31,000 crore global auto components powerhouse, Kapur’s death has now triggered a dual focus: succession at the corporate level and the inheritance awaiting his children from his ₹10,300 crore personal fortune.
🏢 Sona Comstar Succession Unfolds
Sanjay Kapur, who took over Sona Comstar in 2015 following his father’s death, led the company through massive expansion, spanning India, China, Serbia, Mexico, and the U.S. Under his leadership, the company emerged as a leading player in electric vehicle drivetrain systems and automotive innovation.
In the aftermath of his passing in London, Sona Comstar released a statement assuring stakeholders:
“Operations and prospects remain unchanged as we honor his legacy.”
Sources indicate that Kapur’s sisters may assume active management roles, while the next-generation leadership path remains undefined.
💰 Inheritance: What His Children Stand to Receive

Sanjay Kapur leaves behind three children:
- Samaira Kapoor (20) and Kiaan Kapoor (14), from his previous marriage to actress Karisma Kapoor
- Azarias Kapur (6), from his current wife, Priya Sachdev
According to insider reports:
- Both Samaira and Kiaan have been gifted bonds worth ₹14 crore each
- Each receives a monthly legacy income of ₹10 lakh
- The family mansion in Mumbai was transferred to Karisma Kapoor as part of the 2016 divorce settlement
- Custody of the children was awarded to Karisma Kapoor
While Priya Sachdev, Sanjay Kapur’s third wife, legally assumes control over the estate, the full details of the will and estate planning remain confidential.
🏛️ A Lasting Legacy in Business and Family
From his role as a global business leader to a complex family dynamic spanning three generations and high-profile marriages, Sanjay Kapur’s life was anything but ordinary. His influence extends not only to boardrooms but also to the future financial security of his children and the evolving leadership at Sona Comstar.
As markets await clarity on corporate succession, the ₹10,300 crore fortune left behind ensures Kapur’s presence will echo in India’s financial circles for years to come.
