This report sets out a clear blueprint for the next phase of growth for India’s auto-component sector. Through a sustained period of strong expansion, Indian auto-component manufacturers have demonstrated their ability to compete globally, deliver cost and quality advantages. The next challenge is execution at scale, building world-class manufacturing systems that can deliver speed, productivity, and resilience.
As the industry targets approximately $200 billion in revenue and $100 billion in exports by 2030, the report argues that incremental improvements on the shopfloor will no longer be enough. Rising product complexity, dual-track growth across ICE and EV platforms, tighter quality expectations, and workforce constraints require a step change in how manufacturing is run. Smart Factory adoption is becoming a structural imperative to sustain competitiveness.
The report distills this transformation journey into a practical, execution-led roadmap. Drawing on insights from the survey of auto-component manufacturers and extensive industry dialogue, it highlights six critical levers, ranging from top-down leadership and a trusted data backbone to digitally enabled talent, scalable technology architecture, ecosystem partnerships, and disciplined change management.
Together, these actions form an execution-focused design brief for Indian auto-component manufacturers seeking to convert manufacturing scale into a durable global advantage and position India as a trusted, future-ready manufacturing hub.
