Navigating Automotive & Mobility Sector in India

Adapting to the Shift in Emission Regulations

  • With India tightening its emission norms, about 50% of manufacturers face the challenge of higher costs for compliance, possibly impacting smaller players more severely.
  • Businesses should focus on innovating cleaner technology. Government incentives for electric vehicles and hybrids bear a CAGR of 35.5%, opportunity not to be missed.

Pressure from Import Dependence for Critical Components

  • India's automotive sector relies on imports for 30% of its key components, causing fragile supply chains very sensitive to global disruptions like 2020’s challenges.
  • Efforts should mobilize toward local manufacturing facilities. Government schemes like Production-Linked Incentive (PLI) scheme can offer up to $1 billion in support.

Proliferation of Electric Mobility in Urban Areas

  • Indian government's aim to achieve 30% of vehicles as electric by 2030 opens substantial opportunities, especially with states offering tax breaks and subsidies.
  • Automakers able to move resources briskly towards EV manufacturing and sustainable batteries can capture significant market share, mirroring global EV adoption rates.

Rising Investments in Infrastructure and Smart Mobility

  • Infrastructure push with ₹10,200 crores directed towards urban smart city projects presents significant opportunity for automotive-to-mobility consultants.
  • Offering solutions involving ITS (Intelligent Transportation Systems) and charging stations infrastructure ensures firms stay competitive and on the innovation curve.
