Introduction
The Indian auto-components industry has experienced healthy growth over the last
few years. The auto-component industry of India has expanded by 10.6 per cent to
reach at a level of US$ 56.2 billion in FY19.
The auto-components industry accounts for 2.3 per cent of India’s Gross Domestic
Product (GDP) and employs as many as 1.5 million people directly and indirectly
each. A stable government framework, increased purchasing power, large domestic
market, and an ever-increasing development in infrastructure have made India a
favourable destination for investment.
Market Size
The Indian auto-components industry can be broadly classified into the organised
and unorganised sectors. The organised sector caters to the Original Equipment
Manufacturers (OEMs) and consists of high-value precision instruments while the
unorganised sector comprises low-valued products and caters mostly to the
aftermarket category.
India’s exports of auto components increased at a CAGR of 8.34 per cent, during
FY14-FY19, with the value of auto component exports increasing from US$ 10.16
billion in FY14 to US$ 15.17 billion in FY19. This has been driven by strong
growth in the domestic market and increasing globalisation (including exports) of
several Indian suppliers. Growth is further expected to accelerate to 8-10 per cent
in FY19 due to pick up in global scenario. ** Turnover of the aftermarket has
increased at a CAGR of 11.35 per cent from US$ 5.90 billion in FY14 to US$
10.10 billion in FY19 and expected to reach US$ 32 billion by 2026. Turnover of
automotive component industry stood at Rs 1.79 lakh crore (US$ 25.61 billion) in
FY20 (April-Sept 2019). During April-September 2019, exports of auto
components grew by 2.7 per cent to Rs 51,397 crore (US$ 7.35 billion).
According to the Automotive Component Manufacturers Association of India
(ACMA), the Indian auto-components industry is expected to register a turnover of
US$ 100 billion by 2020 backed by strong exports ranging between US$ 80- US$
100 billion by 2026.

Government Initiatives
The Government of India’s Automotive Mission Plan (AMP) 2006–2016 has come
a long way in ensuring growth for the sector. Indian Automobile industry is
expected to achieve a turnover of $300 billion by the year 2026 and will grow at a
rate of CAGR 15 per cent from its current revenue of $74 billion.
As per the Union Budget 2019-20, government moved GST council to lower the
GST rate on electric vehicles from 12 per cent to 5 per cent. Also, to make electric
vehicle affordable to consumers, our government will provide additional income
tax deduction of Rs 1.5 lakh (US$ 2,115) on the interest paid on loans taken to
purchase electric vehicles.
Government has come out with Automotive Mission Plan (AMP) 2016-26 which
will help the automotive industry to grow and will benefit Indian economy in the
following ways: -

 Contribution of auto industry in the country’s GDP will rise to over 12 per
cent
 Around 65 million incremental number of direct and indirect jobs will be
created
 End of life Policy will be implemented for old vehicles
Road Ahead
The rapidly globalising world is opening up newer avenues for the transportation
industry, especially while it makes a shift towards electric, electronic and hybrid
cars, which are deemed more efficient, safe and reliable modes of transportation.
Over the next decade, this will lead to newer verticals and opportunities for auto-
component manufacturers, who would need to adapt to the change via systematic
research and development.
National Electric Mobility Mission Plan aims at achieving sales of 6-7 million
units of hybrid and electric vehicles by 2020. As per Automobile Component
Manufacturers Association (ACMA) forecasts, automobile component exports
from India are expected to reach US$ 80 billion by 2026
The Indian auto-components industry is set to become the third largest in the world
by 2025. Indian auto-component makers are well positioned to benefit from the
globalisation of the sector as exports potential could be increased by up to US$ 30
billion by 2021E.
