Increasing electrification in the Indian auto industry is rapidly reshaping the landscape, driven by environmental concerns and government incentives. The three-wheeler industry stands out as a frontrunner in this transition, with Eastern India leading the charge in electric vehicle (EV) adoption. The surge in electrification is attributed to factors such as infrastructure development, government policies like FAME subsidies, and growing consumer awareness about the benefits of EVs. Notably, advancements in battery technology and energy efficiency are further propelling the industry forward. With a diverse ecosystem including manufacturers, battery producers, and financing options, the Indian EV market is poised for sustainable growth. Accessible financing, coupled with government support, is making EVs more attainable for a wider audience and aligning with India's sustainability objectives. The momentum towards a cleaner, greener future through electrification reflects a positive shift in the Indian automotive sector. Continued investments in technology, infrastructure, and policy support will be key in overcoming challenges and fostering widespread EV adoption. #ElectricVehicles #Sustainability #FutureMobility

Hyundai Motor India (HMI) has received SEBI's approval for its IPO and plans to launch before Diwali/Deepawali (one of India's biggest festivals celebrated with lights). They aim to raise ₹25,000 crore (approx. $3 billion), with a valuation of ₹1.5-1.7 lakh crore ($18-$20 billion). This could be India's largest IPO, surpassing LIC's ₹20,557 crore (approx. $2.5 billion) in 2022, and marks the first automaker IPO in 20 years since Maruti Suzuki's in 2003. Check out this video (<30min) from Think school. Although the headline may be somewhat off-putting, Ganesh puts in a commendable effort to explain Hyundai's history in India and compare it with the giant OEM Maruti Suzuki.

The Make in India initiative has been a pivotal force in positioning India as a global manufacturing hub. Yet, to truly realize the vision of "Make in India, Make for the World," we must look beyond government support and focus on a critical shift within the MSME sector. India’s manufacturing success has long been driven by price advantage. However, the future of Indian manufacturing lies not just in being cost-competitive but in delivering superior value. This means that every manufacturer across the supply chain must focus on enhancing quality, service, and overall value, not just cutting costs. To move from a "cheap manufacturing destination" to a "value-for-money destination," we need to prioritize quality, innovation, and customer satisfaction. This transformation requires investing in long-term growth strategies, even if the rewards take time to materialize. Manufacturing is far from a quick-profit venture; it’s a sustained journey that demands unwavering commitment, dedication, and perseverance. For those who embrace this path, the rewards are immense—not only in terms of financial success but also in contributing to job creation and economic growth. Together, we can build a manufacturing sector that is globally recognized not just for competitive pricing but for exceptional value. #MakeInIndia #ManufacturingExcellence #Innovation #MSME #EconomicGrowth #valueformoney

Subject: IPL for Tata Motors is an intense year-long planning. Here's why.. Our IPL association began in 2018 with the Nexon followed by Harrier, Altroz, Safari, Punch; until 2023 when we decided to democratize EVs! It was a conscious decision to lead into IPL with a category like EV, giving our customers a confidence booster that EV as a segment is big enough to be a part of India’s largest media property. In 2023 - Tiago.ev took over the IPL fields followed by Punch.ev this season! We used to sell 15,000 cars a month when we started our association in 2018 and now we stand at 50,000 cars a month on a podium position in the (changed) Auto industry. Interestingly, 60% of our buyers are first time Tata buyers and each time our association with IPL has helped welcome new members into our TATA family! It’s only been a journey of growth! I would even go on to say that we have started timing our product launches basis IPL. Each year, the narrative we build with the launch of our product (say in January) continues to serve as a storyline for IPL (in March). Apart from the on-ground placement of the car which is a tough sight to miss (funnily this season Punch.ev has also been famously accused of being the car whose window every IPL player wants to smash), we amplify the association via- • ‘Electric Striker of the Match’ award • Commentators who are our biggest broadcast story tellers • Television campaign • Creating a unique IPL viewing experience for our internal & external stakeholders. We’re truly embracing the green- both in terms of money & energy investment. And while IPL may seem like a branding exercise, but all the products we integrated into IPL, have performed. For us, there is no performance without brand and vice versa. Interestingly, IPL serves as a platform to not just gain visibility but to also reach out to an audience that may have questions/are curious about this ‘new technology-EVs’; and on a platform where everyone is looking. And, if these conscious efforts result in growing our EV community, I will consider our IPL campaign a true success! More on the strategic playbook that is propelling us to the forefront of one of India’s biggest sports league:

We enthusiastically support the PM E-DRIVE scheme and commend Indian government for their forward-thinking approach in promoting "Atmanirbhar Bharat." This initiative offers a compelling vision for the future of electric mobility in India, driving progress and innovation. The PM E-DRIVE Scheme, with its significant funding and incentives, presents a promising opportunity for growth, innovation and development in the electric vehicle sector. The focus on electric ambulances and e-trucks is particularly commendable, as it signifies a shift towards cleaner and more sustainable transportation solutions. This will not only benefit the environment but also create new avenues for auto component manufacturers to develop specialized components for these vehicles. The allocation of funds for vehicle testing agencies is a strategic step that will enhance the credibility and safety of electric vehicles in India. This investment will foster a conducive environment for both manufacturers and consumers, ensuring a smooth and reliable transition to electric mobility.

Indian Truck Tyre Market Report https://lnkd.in/d9jRuJsG The Indian Medium and Heavy Truck replacement Tyre Market reached 19.5 million units in FY 2024. ACG forecasts it will reach 26.5 million units by 2030, with a 5 percent CAGR between FY 2025 and FY 2030. The tyre replacement market is a significant segment of the new, retreated, and replacement tyre industry. The growth and market size of replacement tires depend on the truck’s application and loading pattern. There are five expectations from Tyre Brands: Driving Safety Operating Characteristics Comfort Economy, and Environmental We have covered over 50 Truck applications and mapped them with the Tyre market’s overload and payload transport practices. The Tipper, Multi-Axle Vehicle, and tractor-trailer are the significant segments in the Medium and Heavy Duty Truck segment. Our report gives macro-level Tyre size market share, Growth, and market size for each segment of truck and Bus. ACG is the only Consulting firm that provides Tyre size-wise sales, Market share, and forecast. After introducing new load norms, 10R20 was replaced by 295/90R20. Today, 295/90R20 is the largest tyre size. More than 25 Tyre sizes, including 11R20, 11X20, 8.25R16, and 10.00X20, are included in each truck segment and Truck and Bus application. The tyre’s Radialization also depends on the Truck Application. It is forecast that radicalization will be around 65 to 70 percent. The new tractor-trailer models come with radial tyres. However, some fleet owners, like Container, still trust ply tyres for truck applications like E-commerce and Parcel. Heavy Tipper has a small tyre replacement cycle. Specially in sand and coal mine applications. These are the primary demand drivers of this segment. #tyre #tires #truck #commercialvehicle #mrftyre #ceat #apollotyre #michelin #wheels #data #consulting #strategy #india
