Indian to produce 6 mn green vehicles by 2020 

Indian government plans to invest INR 230 bn to increase the production of electric andhybrid vehicles in the next eight years. The country aims to produce 6 mn green vehiclesby 2020, including 4 to 5 mn two‐wheelers, such as bicycles, scooters and motorcycles.

New Delhi plans to contribute INR 130‐140 bn of the total investment plan, with

ompanies providing the rest. Mahindra & Mahindra’s Reva has set a target of sellingc30,000 of its battery‐run cars per annum by 2016.

India’s electric and hybrid vehicle is still at a nascent stage. Presently, most 

manufacturers are focused on the production of low‐emission conventional cars owing to

the lack of the infrastructure for electric vehicles and high cost of new technologies. The

Indian electric vehicle market had suffered tremendous loss after the withdrawal of 

government subsidies worth up to INR 0.1 mn per vehicle in April. However, the electricand hybrid vehicle market is expected to gain momentum with renewed government 

upport in terms of individual schemes for subsidy element, R&D, demand creation andnfrastructure.

 component 

 makers

 

The auto industry in US has been gradually recovering after years of unstable market conditions. Compared to the previous five years, there was maximum growth in the

month of Jul 2012. Total sales had increased by 9% y‐o‐y. However, the 14.09 mn units

sold in Jul was less than the 15.1 mn units sold in Feb 2012. Chrysler, Toyota and Honda

itnessed growth in sales. But domestic majors like General Motors and Ford has not yet wbenefited from the country’s recovering auto industry.

India’s auto component makers are happy with the revival in the US auto industry, asEuropean market is also going through a crisis situation. Besides, Chinese market has

been affected by financial sector problems and government restrictions. Auto sales inhina have recorded a minor growth of less than 3% during Jan‐Jul 2012, which is beingC

considered as the country’s worst performance in more than a 20 years period.

Indian component makers are relying on exports as the domestic auto industry is alsogoing through a slow growth phase. Hence, the gradual recovery in the US auto industry

cts as a boon for the India’s critical component industry as it is likely to offset the

eclining demand from the other global markets.

actually quite dependent on credit. As many companies were delaying their paymentsdue to the tightening economic situation the company strategically planned to do less

business instead of doing business that doesn’t guarantee returns. Further, it made some

changes in their business model. It is looking at over‐dimensional cargo or rail cargo inthe freight business. Gradually, it has started adding new services in order to add to

future revenue streams. TCI has a budget of about INR 1.5 bn from the Board. Of this
