Editor's Notes
The growth in domestic demand is driven by a number of factors including Overall economic growth Rising income levels Low cost of finance and easy availability of finance Auto sector is key to the Indian economy from the perspective of economic contribution and employment Auto sector contributes to around 5 % of GDP and employs 13 million people Auto sector contributes to around 17% of direct taxes kitty
About 400 organised sector players and 5000 unorganised sector players The Indian auto component industry is characterised by Strong backward and forward linkages Many technically capable companies Increasing success in tapping export markets
The 3 auto hubs - Chennai, Manesar and Pune account for around 90 % of the total industry Most of the major auto components manufacturers have multiple facilities ( spread across the country) to service the OEMs in the regions Other key auto production areas include Pithampur and Uttaranchal, where a number of auto companies are establishing bases taking advantage of the tax holiday for the region.
Total value of export was around USD 6 bn in 2005-06, of which vehicle exports contributed to around USD 4 bn Key export markets were SAARC countries, EU, North America and Middle East
Growth in income levels and availability of easy finance have increased consumer demand for auto products. Increased consumer awareness and closer linkages with the global auto trends have resulted in the companies introducing contemporary products in the Indian market. The stable government economic policies adopted by successive governments s have contributed to the overall economic growth including growth of the auto sector. In addition, the government has stake specific policy initiatives such as lower excise duties on smaller cars, etc to boost local demand India is targeting to emerge as the manufacturing hub for small cars. It has already been recognised as low cost source for components and vehicle and is expected to capitalise on the increase in outsourcing to low cost countries.
Two wheelers would lead the growth, with an estimated sales of 28 million units by 2016 The contribution of the automotive sector to the Indian GDP is expected to double from the present level of 5 - 6 % Total export in the auto sector would be around USD 30 – 35 bn, of which component exports would account for USD 20 - 25 bn and vehicle exports for the rest The total employment generated in the auto sector would d be around 25 million by 2016 ( including indirect employment)
The Government has identified the Auto sector as an important growth engine Measures such as reduction in duties on inputs for the auto sector have been taken in the past to make the industry globally competitive
India has joined WP 29 as an observer
The total investments in this project is around Rs.1,700 crore. The project is to be implemented in 2 phases - Phase 1 starting from 2008 and Phase II from 2010 - 11 In addition, 6 centres of excellence providing facilities for advanced developmental activities are being planned in Chennai, Manesar and Pune. This project is aimed to assist the Indian auto industry to develop product development capabilities and help them compete on a global basis.
Successive governments in India have continued the economic reforms process started in the early ‘90s. This has ensured stability in overall economic policies shaping the country. Recently, the government has declared that it would support the Indian auto industry in its efforts to emerge as the manufacturing hub for small cars The consumer demand coupled with the economic growth is expected to grow the Indian auto industry at over 10 % p.a in the future. In addition to low cost advantage, the Indian auto industry also offers a number of other advantages including technological capabilities and adherence to the highest quality standards.
The high domestic growth coupled with the advantage offered by India make India an attractive destination for investments in the auto sector. The large domestic market, coupled with export opportunities provide a number of opportunities to both Indian and global players
