The fortunes of the automotive components segment are linked to the performance
of the auto industry. The auto ancillary industry gives support to sectors such as metals
that includes steel, aluminum, copper and also to many other machine tools, plastics,
rubbers, polymers, glass, surface transport. As per Indian Suppliers report, The
automotive sector in India contributes to 5% of the nations GDP and 17% of the
indirect taxes as a result of which the government last year charted a 10-year blueprint
for the sectors growth. This envisages the automotive sector output reaching a level
of $145 billion accounting for more than 10% of the GDP by 2016.Indian auto
industry has evolved around three major clusters: Mumbai-Pune-Nasik-Aurangabad
(west);
Chennai-Bangalore-Hosur
(south);
and
Delhi-Gurgaon-Faridabad
(north).Export-oriented companies have formed base in the west/ south regions, due to
proximity to port.
PROSPECTS: Looking forward, the industry displays tremendous potential in
generating employment and boosting entrepreneurship in the country. The spate of
new investment plans announced by global and domestic automobile manufacturers
promises the emergence of India as a global hub for auto components. The industry is
transforming, and the boost in demand will see the emergence of several new players
in the industry.
The vast market for auto components, and the diverse products and technology
involved ensures a place and role for many. At the same time, the entry of several
global automobile manufacturers will bring in more regulation into the industry and
see a pruning of the spurious market. Among the smaller players in the unorganized
segment, this implies moving away from being standalone companies, to entering into
either contract manufacturing or being ancillary units. The newly defined rules are
specialization, development and delivery that hold the key to success in the auto
component industry.
