battery charging infrastructure in high ways, we believe heavy commercial vehicle will
continue to remain ICE in the near future.
We expect tractors to remain ICE due to charging infrastructure constraints and power
situation in rural.
Overall, though India is targeting 100% EV by 2030, based on our discussion
with auto industry experts, we believe EV penetration in India can be 20-25%
by 2030.
Auto OEM: Maruti, M&M and TVS may have early entrant advantage
Considering the global developments in EV space and the Indian Government drive
towards EV, all the Indian auto major OEM’s are now working on EVs, not to lose out on
emerging opportunities.
Maruti: Parent Suzuki Motor Corporation (SMC), Japan is establishing a LiB battery
plant in Gujarat in Joint Venture with Denso and Toshiba, with an investment of Rs 11
bn and is expected to be in operation by 2020. Maruti/SMC has plans to export Hybrid/
Electric Vehicle from Gujarat. SMC has signed a MOU with Toyota, Japan and Toyota
will provide technical support to Suzuki to produce Electric Vehicles in India by 2020.
TVS Motor: TVS Motor will be launching a Hybrid two-wheeler in December 2017
and an Electric two-wheeler by March 2018. TVS Motor will be importing battery cells
and will be assembling the battery in-house. TVS has also developed its own battery
management system and motor design.
Bajaj Auto: Bajaj Auto has announced launch of Electric three-wheeler in 2018 and
Electric two-wheeler in 2020. The challenge for Bajaj Auto will be to maintain high
All major OEMs have began
charting thier EV plans domestic market share (59%) and profitability (EBITDA margin of ~30%) in electric
three-wheeler. On two-wheeler, EV may provide opportunity for Bajaj to enter scooter
market (Urbanite brand).
Hero MotoCorp: Hero MotoCorp has 30% stake in Ather Energy, a start-up in Bengaluru
working on eScooter (S340). Hero MotoCorp is also working on its own Electric two-
wheeler and is expected to launch the vehicle in 2020. The challenge for Hero MotoCorp
will be to design an electric motorcycle for mass commuter market and defend high market
share. However, the rural is expected to be ICE dominant for more time due to charging
infrastructure and power constraints.
Also, our understanding is that there is design challenges in accommodating electric motor,
battery and control systems in a commuter motorcycle frame.
Eicher Motors: We expect leisure biking to be ICE dominant in the near future.
Mahindra & Mahindra: M&M is the only company which has been selling lithium ion
electric cars for the last many years (e20 plus and eVerito) and the company has sold ~2K
vehicles in 2016. M&M has entered into strategic alliance with Ford to work together on
many areas, including EVs. M&M is also working on electric three-wheeler, two-wheeler
and LCV’s. Has already launched electric three-wheeler e-Alfa in India and two-wheeler
GenZe in the US market. With Government thrust on EV, M&M can improve market
share in auto segment.

Ashok Leyland: AL has developed Electric bus “Circuit” and UK subsidiary Optare
already manufactures Electric Buses. Ashok Leyland has strategic alliance with Sun
Mobility for Electric Mobility solutions.
Tata Motors: Tata Motors is working on electric buses and electric cars in collaboration
with Tata Motors European Technical Centre (based in University of Warwick in UK).
Tata Motors has received order from EESL recently for supply of 10,000 vehicles, with
first phase supply of 250 vehicles in December 2017. JLR will be launching their first EV
I-PACE in 2018. However, globally, peers are planning many aggressive launches.

for supply of forged and machined components for EVs.
Companies like Sundram Fasteners, Bearing companies, Mahindra CIE,
Tube Investment, Minda Industries, Endurance Technologies, Sundaram
Clayton, Rico Auto, Lumax Auto Technologies, Minda Corporation, MM
Forgings, Rane Holding, Tube Investment, Banco Products and Pricol is likely
to have medium impact, as part of their current product portfolio will be impacted by EVs.
Tyre companies (MRF, Apollo, JK Tyres, CEAT, Good Year), Lighting
companies (Lumax Industries, FIEM Industries), Shock Absorber companies
(Gabriel, Munjal Showa), Sona Koyo Steering, Suprajit, Wheels India, Jay
Bharat Maruti/JBM Auto, Subros, WABCO India, Asahi India Glass, Bharat
Seats, PPAP Automotive are neutral to power train and hence no significant impact
due to EVs.
For Motherson Sumi, polymer business, rear view mirror and wiring harness is neutral
to power train. Light weighting and increase in wiring harness content in EVs will be
structurally positive for Motherson.
We do not expect significant impact for Automotive Axles, Jamna Auto, Setco
Automotive and GNA Axles, as we expect MHCV segment to be ICE dominant in the
near future.
JBM Auto has tied up with Solaris, Poland to design and develop Electric and Hybrid
buses for India.
Adaptation to EV and On export to global EV market, there is no significant export from India now, as the global
innovation is of paramount EV market is small. Considering the growth potential in global EV space, many Indian
importance
auto component majors are now exploring supply of structural components for global EV.
Sundram Fasteners has already started supply of Bevel Gear and surge tank cap to
Tesla. Motherson’s overseas subsidiaries (SMR & SMP) are already supplying EV parts
to Tesla, Renault Nissan, BMW & General Motors.
In the EV space, new opportunities lies in parts like LiB battery, motor, controllers and
micro-processors and may throw up new winners in auto component space as EV picks up.

Significant technology development is now happening in LiB battery and many companies
including Toyota is working on solid state batteries which could significantly improve the
energy density and also eliminate the liquid electrolyte thus making the battery pack safer
and more efficient.
Currently, India does not have LiB battery capacity and massive investments will be
required.

Incentives
Due to higher battery cost, the purchase cost of EV is expensive to ICE globally now.
Incentives to be phased out Considering the purchase cost difference between ICE and EV vehicles, purchase incentive
on drop in LiB prices of US$ 1,250 to 10,000 per vehicle for Battery Electric Vehicles (BEV) and Plug in Hybrid
Electric Vehicle (PHEV) is being offered by various countries to promote EVs.
Electric Vehicle Incentives in 2015
In most of the developed countries, the incentive is expected to remain until 2020 and then
gradually phased out by 2025, by which time the cost of Electric Vehicle is expected to
match IC vehicle price due to drop in LiB battery prices.

The Government of India’s think tank, NITI Aayog has published a document “India
Leaps Ahead – Transformative Mobility Solution for All” in May 2017 and has estimated
that India can save 64% of energy consumption and 37% of carbon emission in 2030 by
pursuing a shared, electric and connected mobility future. This would result in reduction
of 156 Mtoe in petrol and diesel consumption for 2030, implying a saving of US$ 60 bn (@
US$ 52/barrel).

NITI Aayog has also suggested swapping of batteries, to improve the EV eco system.
Three-wheelers
Due to commercial feasibility, the three-wheeler segment is already witnessing influx of
e-rickshaws and as per estimates the current e-rickshaw population in India is around 1 mn.
Due to operational cost saving, the total cost of ownership (TCO) of Electric three-wheeler
for commercial application is already 8% advantageous to ICE three-wheeler. After the
implementation of BS VI emission norms in 2020, ICE vehicle cost is expected to increase
by 8% to 15% and then EV three-wheeler is expected to be more advantageous by 23%.

improvement in charging infrastructure and necessary policy frame work in place.
Considering the potential in electric three-wheeler, established OEM’s are working on
e-rickshaws.
• Mahindra & Mahindra has already launched e-Alfa Mini electric rickshaw for
passenger transport with Lead acid batteries and is working on e-rickshaws with LiB
battery.
• Bajaj Auto has announced that the company will be launching electric three-wheeler
in 2018.
• TVS Motor show cased its electric three-wheeler concept in Auto Expo 2016.
• Kinetic Green Energy and Power Solutions Limited has launched electric
three-wheeler in April 2017, with LiB battery.
Two-wheeler
Two-wheeler industry is close to market readiness and is approaching break-even in EVs.
After implementation of BS VI in 2020, TCO of electric two-wheeler will be advantageous
by 13% than Petrol ICE.
We expect two-wheeler shift to be mainly driven by limited operational use for daily
commuting and ease of charging.
An end-to-end eco system (from in-house manufacturing to setting up charging
infrastructure) being created by start-ups is likely to accelerate the adoption of electric
two-wheelers.

MHCV – Goods carrier will continue to remain IC in the near future. Though, Tesla has
displayed EV truck (Tesla semi) recently, we believe EV penetration in MHCV – Goods
carrier will take significantly longer time.
In the CV segment, we believe SCVs and LCVs could be early adopters due to lower pay
load capacity and lesser average daily run.
Despite high cost difference, we believe intra-city bus segment is more
market ready for electric because of shorter trip lengths, route predictability
and ease of fast charging at bus depots.
In addition, most of the intra-city buses is operated by state owned enterprises with
investment capabilities and/or with state government financial support.
As diesel buses are one of the main city pollutants, we are already witnessing few e-bus
pilots by state owned enterprises – Navi Mumbai, Himachal Pradesh, with a few more in
the pipeline – Chandigarh, Telangana and Gurgaon.
Major players and plans for electric buses:
• Ashok Leyland has developed Electric Bus “Circuit” and is now test driven in Chennai.
Has strategic alliance with Sun Mobility to develop Electric Mobility solutions. 100%
owned subsidiary Optare already manufactures electric buses in UK.
• Tata Motors is running electric buses in Chandigarh and Guwahati.
• Volvo Bus manufactures electric vehicles globally and yet to announce the strategy for
India.
• BYD Group China has formed a JV with Goldstone Infratech Limited to manufacture
Electric Buses. The company will supply 6 buses to Mumbai and 25 buses to Himachal
Pradesh.
• JBM Auto has tied up with Solaris, Poland to design and develop electric and hybrid
buses for India.
• Zhuhai Yinlong of China, which also manufactures LiB batteries in China, has
plans to set-up an Electric Vehicle manufacturing plant (for manufacture of buses &
cars) in Punjab.
Passenger vehicles
In the passenger vehicle segment, the cost dynamics of running an EV for taxis, with high
vehicle utilisation, is quite favourable by 2020 when BS VI gets implemented. Already
M&M and Tata Motors have tied up with Ola & Uber on experimental basis in Nagpur
and Delhi.
However, for a private user, the TCO for an EV remains much higher.
We expect meaningful shift in private use passenger vehicles from ICE to EV
by 2025 when TCO of EV catches up with ICE on decrease in battery prices,
scale for EVs, supported by widespread network of charging stations and
launch of India specific EVs.

Existing power train related suppliers would lose markets, making them significantly
smaller in an EV scenario. Whereas new opportunities lies in EV parts such as LiB battery,
motors, controllers and microprocessors.
The existing suppliers will not only have to deal with the transition but also face competition
from the new entrants in the industry such as technology companies and battery companies.
As EVs gain traction in India, a number of foreign collaborations, partnerships and
consortiums between OEM’s, auto component suppliers and battery manufacturers is
expected.
We analysed the impact of EV on the major listed auto ancillary companies on the following
criteria and grouped into three categories: high impact, medium impact and low/positive
impact:
• The impact analysis is based on current the product portfolio of the auto component
companies. Going forward, the companies can diversify to EV components/products
and has not been considered in our impact analysis.
• In India, we expect EV transition in three-wheeler and two-wheeler, followed by taxis
in passenger vehicle segment and then private use cars.
• In the commercial vehicle segment, intra-city bus segment is expected to move towards
EV (due to environmental concerns). We expect goods carrying MHCV trucks (~85%
of domestic MHCV volume) to remain ICE due to high pay load capacity, battery
range cover and lack of charging infrastructure in highways.
• Tractors to remain ICE due to charging infrastructure constraints and power situation
in rural.
• Considering the uncertainty in EV transition time frame and also as most of the
companies are yet to announce concrete plan for EVs, we have not worked out the
financial impact for the companies.

1 Amara Raja Batteries AMRJ currently manufactures only lead acid batteries and ~66% of revenue is from automotive. R&D
under progress for LiB battery technology. Has access to Lithium ion technology from JV partner
Johnson Control. No significant impact expected in the near-term due to EV. Though electric cars
and buses have auxiliary lead acid batteries, the prime power source will be LiB batteries. With major
OEM’s like Maruti (Suzuki), TVS and M&M establishing own LiB battery manufacturing/assembly
facilities, the current duo play in lead acid battery market (AMRJ and Exide) will be under threat in
the long-term.

Medium impact
1 Bosch The key product of Bosch India Limited – Fuel injection system is completely dependent on IC engines.
However, CV, Tractor, after-market and non-auto contribute ~80% of revenue for Bosch and will not have
impact on EVs in the near future. On electric two-wheeler, Bosch has significant presence in China and
also Bosch Global is associated with global major OEMs for electric PVs. Considering expertise of Bosch
Global in EV space, we believe EV will open up significant opportunities for Bosch in India. Bosch is already
working with OEMs on electric two-wheeler and three-wheeler in India and the company has announced
that Bosch will serve EV space in India through the listed company.

Impact of EV on Metals
Transition to EV will have positive impact on metals like Graphite as graphite is the
material used for anode in LiB batteries. For Cathode, different formulations are used with
Nickel, Cobalt and Manganese. The Electrolyte in LiB batteries is Lithium. Including
motors, it is also estimated that electric cars contain about 3 times more copper than a
regular IC vehicle.

On the other side, due to light weighting in EVs, demand for aluminium is expected to go
up and with corresponding drop in steel. Requirement for lead is expected to drop, due to
drop in lead acid battery requirements. Platinum used in catalytic converter is expected
to drop.
