Over the years the years, Indian auto component players have strongly integrated themselves into the global automotive supply chain primarily through their established manufacturing processes and world-class quality. They have been the torchbearers of Indian auto industry’s success story and a case study for our frugal manufacturing skills. The auto component sector has been the face of “Make in India” drive for more than a decade.
Indian defence and aerospace sector is fast emerging as the sunrise sector and will take the centre stage in government’s “Make in India” drive. The government’s push for indigenization in defence and growing interest from global commercial aerospace players to source from Indian suppliers, have opened up multiple supply chain opportunities for Indian private players.
We strongly feel, ACMA members are best positioned to grab these opportunities in the sector due to their proven manufacturing capabilities. The Indian auto component players have all the right ingredients in place to repeat the success story of automotive in aerospace & defence sector. This is the right time for the ACMA member companies to devise a clear strategy and come out with an action plan for the sector.
In this context, KPMG had been appointed by ACMA to assist them in their endeavour towards diversification into aerospace & defence. Our efforts have received overwhelming support from the global aerospace & defence companies and have been
successful in positioning ACMA as the right partner for the global OEMs and Tier1s who are looking at sourcing from India.
We are glad to jointly release the Aerospace & Defence sector diversification report with KPMG. The report captures the sector’s landscape, opportunities, challenges and outlines the road map for the ACMA members who are aspiring to be a part of the sector. We hope you will find this document useful and informative in planning your next steps.
