While India may not be a developed industrial nation,
the Auto parts manufacturers in India
have progressed a great deal. When car manufacturing began in India for the
common man, a new age was launched. Millions of citizens who once owned
scooters and motorcycles can afford to buy small cars nowadays. MNCs have now set up manufacturing and assembly
plants for automobiles all over India in states like Gujarat and Karnataka, and
the future looks very bright. Three wheelers for transport services, buses, and
metro trains - all of them require hundreds of components in huge quantity.
The parent company cannot manufacture all the little
parts. Small sister companies spread out in industrial estates all over India
are entrusted with the task. Both the vehicles and the components are not only
sold in India but across the world in dozens of countries.
Just like in China, the lower materials and labor
costs in India make the manufacture of auto components very much
profitable. The cost would be a fraction
compared to the expenses involved in developed European countries or America.
The quality is first rate because of highly developed research facilities,
design, and performance.
The turnover of the Auto components manufacturers in India is expected to reach US$115
billion by FY2021. In FY2016, auto parts exports reached US$10.8 billion. The
Indian auto parts industry employs 19 million workers and creates 7% of the
nation’s GDP. Stable governments have helped and the growing purchasing power
in domestic markets. Infrastructure has developed according to increasing needs
and globalization has resulted in smarter work.
The Foreign Direct Investment in the Indian automobile
industry between April 2000 and September 2016 amounted to US$ 15.80 billion.
The Indian government’s Automotive Mission Plan 2006-2016 resulted in
tremendous growth. The AMP 2016-20126 hopes to create 50 million jobs. By 2025, the industry would become the third
largest in the world.
