INDUSTRY OVERVIEW
The Indian auto components industry has experienced healthy sequential growth over the last one-and-a-half
years. The growth can be attributed to factors such as strong buoyancy in the end-user industry, recovery of the
global economy, improved consumer sentiment and return of adequate liquidity in the financial system. The
revival of the auto industry was initially driven by the fiscal stimulus programme of the government.
The industry currently accounts for almost seven per cent of India’s gross domestic product (GDP) and employs
about 19 million people, both directly and indirectly. The ever-increasing development in infrastructure, big
domestic market, increasing purchasing power and stable government framework have made India a favourable
destination for investment, as per the vision of Automotive Mission Plan (AMP) 2006–2016.
The Indian auto component industry is expected to register a turnover of US$ 66 billion by FY 15–16 with the
likelihood to touch US$ 115 billion by FY 20–21 depending on favourable conditions, as per the estimates by
Automotive Component Manufacturers Association of India (ACMA). In addition, industry exports are projected
to reach US$ 12 billion by FY 15–16 and add up to US$ 30 billion by FY 20–21. Revenues for the auto industry in
2014-15 are expected to grow by 11-12 per cent supported by healthy recovery by major original equipment
manufacturers (OEMs) in the medium and heavy commercial vehicles (M&HCV) and passenger vehicle (PV)
segment.
The Government of India’s Automotive Mission Plan (AMP) 2006–2016 has come a long way in ensuring the
growth of this sector in the global market. It is expected that this sector's contribution to the GDP will double

8. reaching a turnover of US$ 145 billion in 2016 due to the government’s special focus on exports of small cars,
multi-utility vehicles (MUVs), two and three-wheelers and auto components.
Outlook
The rapidly globalising world is opening new avenues for the transportation industry, generating the need for
more efficient, safe and reliable modes of transportation, which is subsequently adding to the auto component
industry’s growing opportunities. According to a report by the Confederation of Indian Industry (CII), the Indian
auto component industry is set to become the third largest in the world by 2025. Also, by that time, newer
verticals and opportunities for component manufacturers will open up as the automobile market will shift
towards electric, electronic and hybrid cars, and newer technologies will have to be adopted via systematic
research and development.
Indian auto component makers are well positioned to benefit from the globalisation of the sector as exports
potential could be increased by up to four times to US$ 40 billion by 2020.
