Last Updated: October 2011 Indian Auto Components Industry: Brief Introduction With a surging Indian automobile industry, the inter-related Indian auto component industry is heading strong towards a high growth trajectory. The US$ 30 billion industry is anticipated to grow on the back of robust domestic demand. The Indian auto component industry recorded its highest year-on-year (y-o-y) growth of 34.2 per cent in 2010-11, raking in revenue of US$ 39.9 billion; major contribution coming from exports at US$ 5 billion and fresh investment from the US at around US$ 2 billion. Indian Auto Components Industry Profile Two-thirds of the components manufactured by the industry in India are accounted for by two and threewheelers, along with passenger cars. However, a national survey by Ikon Marketing Consultants has revealed that components' demand for commercial vehicles has shown magnificent growth during 20062011. Going by the product range, 31 per cent of the market share is formed by the engine parts followed by drive transmission and steering parts at 19 per cent. Other products like body and chassis parts, suspension and breaking parts, equipment and electrical parts also contribute significantly in overall industry turnover. Among the major export destinations for Indian auto components, Europe leads the way with 36 per cent of the share, followed by Asia (28 per cent) and North America (23 per cent). Destination India Indian auto component manufacturers have proven their mettle product-development by providing genuine and reasonably priced automotive parts to auto companies across the world which has made India a major global outsourcing hub in this field as well. For instance, Gujarat that rolled out red carpet for auto makers like Tata Nano is on the world map as a major auto hub. Auto giants like Ford Motor and Peugeot Citroen have lined up investments worth around US$ 2 billion to build new plants in the state. Rajkot is another hub that has more than 500 auto component manufacturers, of which around 50 supply parts to OEMs and the remainder are small and medium enterprises (SMEs) that supply to the retail market. The industry in Rajkot makes over 300 types of parts for the automobile industry and employs about 10,000 people. Indian Auto Components Industry: Key Developments and Investments

Indian auto-component manufacturers are now focusing their efforts to develop research and development (R&D) capability of their own in order to achieve competitive edge on the global map. Technological innovations being the major driver for growth in the years to come, companies are working to improve their resource efficiency, implementing new techniques and putting in place lean management mechanisms. The Indian government plans to increase the expenditure on R&D to 2 per cent by 2012, which is currently around 0.8 per cent of the gross domestic product (GDP). India's largest head lamp maker Lumax Industries has planned an investment of Rs 150 crore (US$ 30.86 million) to set up three green field manufacturing units while Jay Bharat Maruti (JBM) would invest Rs 500 crore (US$ 102.86 million) in 2011-12 to expand capacities across its facilities and set up new ones. Marking a milestone for India's auto component industry, Hero Honda would become the one-nonly international supplier of gearboxes for BMW's motorbikes for domestic as well as foreign markets. ZF Hero Chassis Systems, which currently supplies axle assembly to General Motors India, is in
talks with Suzuki and Honda to supply components in India. As a part of its expansion spree, the company will also make an investment of Rs 100 crore (US$ 20.57 million) to set up new plant in the country. It has already decided to set up a plant in the National Capital Region (NCR) to produce chassis frames, axle systems and sheet metal components for the domestic car market. ZF Hero Chassis Systems is a joint venture (JV) between Hero Motors and German auto component major ZF. Government Initiatives The Indian government is in the process of forming a National Automotive Board (NAB) which would become a formal set-up to look into the issue of recall of vehicles and hence improve manufacturing standards. The prospective body, to oversee technical and safety aspects of vehicles, will have representatives from all the nodal ministries and automotive bodies such as the Automotive Research Association of India (ARAI). In a first-of-its-kind public-private partnership, automotive components manufacturer Tata AutoComp Systems Ltd has signed a memorandum of understanding (MoU) with the Government of Gujarat for imparting vocational training to rural youth to widen employment opportunities for them. The agreement, focussed to fill-in the skilled manpower shortage faced by the auto industry, would facilitate revamp of the State's Industrial Training Institutes (ITIs), launch of skill development programmes and introduction of modular employable skills (MES) courses. Tata AutoComp will train nearly 1,500 youth in Gujarat annually through this MoU. Meanwhile, following the discussions between the visiting Soe Thein, Myanmar Minister of Industry and Mr Praful Patel, India's Minister of Heavy Industries and Public Enterprises, Tata Motors has proposed to set-up a bus-assembly facility in the neighbouring country along with supply of passenger vehicles to them. The discussions entailed mutual industrial collaboration between the two nations. Road Ahead According to industry experts, the Indian auto component industry will cross US$ 100 billion mark by 2020, growing at a Compound Annual Growth Rate (CAGR) of 15 per cent while its share in the world's is also likely to grow to over 3 per cent by 2015-16. For the year 2011-12, the industry is expected to grow 12-15 per cent. Not only domestic demand, India is poised to scale new heights in terms of exports as well. Automotive Component Manufacturers Association of India (ACMA) expects exports to be worth US$ 29 billion by 202021, growing at a CAGR of 18.8 per cent through 2011-21.

Tata AutoComp will train nearly 1,500 youth in Gujarat annually through this MoU. Also, the government of Gujarat has provided 600 acre plot in Sanand to the European car-maker PSA Peugeot Citroen to set up its manufacturing facility. In order to bring-in new and efficient vehicles on the Indian roads, SIAM has endorsed a regular, concrete scrappage policy to the government which says that all vehicles (cars, commercial vehicles and twowheelers) made before 1996 should be scrapped. According to SIAM, such a policy would also help control pollution and harmful emissions. Meanwhile, following the discussions between the visiting Myanmar Minister of Industry Soe Thein and Mr Praful Patel, Minister of Heavy Industries and Public Enterprises Tata Motors has proposed to set-up a busassembly facility in the neighbouring country along with supply of passenger vehicles to them. The discussions entailed mutual industrial collaboration between the two nations. Road Ahead Luxury car makers are keen on Indian markets as the sales for the same are expected to touch 150,000 units by 2020. Indian luxury car market is growing at an annual rate of 70 per cent and is expected to cross 20,000 units by the end of 2011 in terms of sales. Hence, the concerned majors are looking at Tier-II cities for new dealerships along with opening second or third outlet in top 10 metros. According to industry experts, India is poised to become the third largest car market by 2020 after the US and China.
