National plan for key materials needed to secure EV future: Auto parts makers
EV calculator How much will I save if I choose an electric vehicle? SELECT vehicle type Calculate Live Events (You can now subscribe to our (You can now subscribe to our Economic Times WhatsApp channel New Delhi: Auto parts makers are urging the Centre for a national strategy on critical materials to secure the future of automobile manufacturing in the country including electric vehicles . This follows China restricting exports of rare earths, disrupting global supply chains at industries reliant on rare earth magnets like Suri Marwah, president, Automotive Component Manufacturers Association of India (ACMA) said while auto parts makers are continuing to invest in value addition, technology upgradation, and localisation to align with evolving customer needs and global supply chain dynamics, the shortage of rare earth magnets is proving to be a challenge."The limited availability of rare earth magnets is a concern, underscoring the need for national strategy on critical materials to secure EV's future and mobility manufacturing in India," said Marwah, also MD of auto parts maker Subros She said India has adequate raw materials for making rare earth magnets and can attain self-sufficiency if processing centres are set up. "The industry is agile and has also started working on alternate solutions," she geopolitical and supply chain challenges globally, Marwah said the Indian auto parts industry clocked a 10% increase in revenues at $80.2 billion in FY25. The industry, in fact, grew at 14% compounded annually between FY20 and FY25, nearly doubling in size in five years. "FY25 was yet another milestone year where the industry's growth was underpinned by strong domestic demand, rising exports and increasing value addition," said Marwah, adding that as India transitions towards new-age mobility, the industry is making the necessary strides in investments, technology and localisation to serve both domestic and global markets exports rose by 8% to $22.9 billion last fiscal, imports went up at a slower 7.3% to $22.4 billion, resulting in a trade surplus of $453 million. The trade surplus improved from $300 million in Mehta, director general, ACMA said, "This increase in trade surplus indicates India's growing manufacturing competitiveness in the global market and localisation initiatives."

China's rare earth magnet curbs a wake-up call for Indian auto makers: ACMA
The ongoing shortage of rare earth magnets, following China's import ban in April and its subsequent actions, has emerged as a wake-up call for India's auto component industry, said Vinnie Mehta, Director General of the Automotive Component Manufacturers Association (ACMA) on Tuesday. The industry body is now conducting a comprehensive study to map vulnerabilities in its supply chain and identify areas where resilience needs to be built, he added. 'This is a wake-up call… The only solution for us is to be Atmanirbhar. That is where we have to focus all our energies,' Mehta said at a press briefing. He added that inventories are currently cushioning the impact of the disruption, but 'inventories are not infinite.' In 2024-25, India's overall auto component imports rose by 7 per cent year-on-year to $22.4 billion. China remained the largest source of imports, increasing its share from 29 per cent in FY24 to 32 per cent in FY25, ACMA stated. The total size of the Indian auto component industry stood at $80.2 billion in FY25, marking a 9.6 per cent year-on-year growth, supported by increased supplies to automakers, higher exports, and aftermarket demand, ACMA noted. ACMA President Shradha Suri Marwah acknowledged the industry's overdependence on China for rare earth magnets, which are vital yet low-cost components used across electric motors and various automotive systems. Both Marwah and Mehta reiterated the need for rapid localisation of critical components. 'There are no options left… We have to move towards a high percentage of localisation. The government is very clear on this, and so is the industry. We don't want to be stuck in situations like this—either as a country or as an industry,' she mentioned. ACMA will release findings of its supply chain vulnerability study at its annual session on September 12. The theme this year is Managing Geopolitical Challenges and Creating a Resilient Supply Chain, according to Mehta. Marwah mentioned that while the industry is agile and is already working on alternate solutions, the long-term answer lies in building domestic processing capabilities. 'India has the raw materials. We just need the technology to process rare earth minerals, and we'll be able to do it. There's a lot of work happening, and we're hopeful the situation won't be as bad as it seems,' she said. Mehta also addressed the Indian government's ongoing efforts to finalise a trade agreement with the United States. While he praised the Centre's consistent consultations with the industry, he admitted that progress is difficult. 'People on the other side are not so easy—and you get that… We count our blessings that India is not on the list of 14 countries facing trade restrictions. We are hopeful a deal will come through,' he stated. He hinted that any agreement could come in phases. 'I understand that there may be a truncated deal first, followed by a second phase. But I do not have any insights into the contours of the agreement, to be very honest,' he clarified. Meanwhile, Marwah raised concerns over rising freight and logistical challenges driven by global geopolitical conflicts—including the Russia-Ukraine war, Israel-Gaza conflict, and Red Sea tensions. 'Something that took 10 days is now taking 22,' she said, citing delays at Red Sea and Singapore ports. 'When materials take longer, your cash flows get stuck. Planning becomes uncertain. You plan for more material, and that increases costs,' she mentioned. She noted that while smaller components may be air-freighted, it is not always viable. 'It's disruptive… We plan three to six months in advance based on forecasts, and any delay throws things off balance,' she added.

Auto component makers hope India-US trade deal to conclude soon
New Delhi, Jul 8 (PTI) Auto component makers are hopeful that India will soon seal a trade deal with the US, which is the single-largest market for Indian manufacturers, according to an industry official. The official also said that the government has been regularly consulting with the auto components industry amid the ongoing talks for an interim trade deal between India and the US. The comments have come against the background of the US suspending reciprocal tariffs until August 1. The earlier deadline was ending on July 9. India was not included in the list of countries that received tariff letters from the Trump administration on Monday. "... our name is not in the list of the 14 countries, and we are hopeful that, you know, they would be able to sort of come out with a deal," Automotive Component Manufacturers Association of India (ACMA) Director General Vinnie Mehta said. "I do not have any insights into what would be the contours of the deal. It may be a truncated one, but then there would be a second phase also. That's what I understand," he added. Mehta also said that the government has been regularly consulting with the auto parts industry on the proposed deal, while adding that "the people on the other side are not so easy". North America is the largest export market for the auto component industry and accounted for 32 per cent of the overall auto component exports in FY25. The market witnessed a growth of 8 per cent as compared with the last fiscal. Overall, auto component exports grew by 8 per cent to USD 22.9 billion ( ₹ 1,92,346 crore) last fiscal as compared with USD 21.2 billion ( ₹ 1,75,960 crore) in FY 2023-24.
