The auto ancillary eco-system in India is fairly robust and mature with a large number of companies operating in various niches. Some of these firms are world class. Within the industry, India has a competitive advantage globally in areas such as fasteners, bearings, and shafts.
India also has a labour cost advantage of about 15-20% over western nations in the global auto component market.
Government policies toward the industry over the years have been favourable. 100% FDI is allowed under the automatic route.
The recent trend towards electric vehicles had brought opportunities as well as challenges to the industry. Many firms will face a disruption in their business models while others will be relatively unaffected.
