Growing beyond manufacturingOpportunities in India as an emerging auto product development hub
ACMA Annual Convention 20125th September, 2012
India is fast emerging as the one of the largest global manufacturing hubs for small cars and other vehicles
• India will emerge as the largest producer of small cars by 2013• Further, India’s production of small commercial vehicles (<3.5 T) has
grown at >25% in the past five years; faster than the global average

To achieve global industry leadership India needs to evolve as an integrated development & manufacturing hub
Leadership position in the automotive world
Manufacturing
Vehicles and components manufactured in India are increasingly meeting global standards of Quality, Reliability and Durability
Product & Process Development
However, today there is limited end-to-end product development and process engineering capability across the supply chain
Innovation
Significant work needs to be done in this area to improve India’s innovation quotient
Cost and Quality (Strong Foundation)

“Few OEM-Suppliers have started
adopting a collaborative
product development
approach, but limited to a few vehicle systems”
OEM – Supplier collaboration
An expectation mismatch exists between OEMs and suppliers on the approach to develop suppliers’ product development capabilities
Page 13 ACMA Annual Conference: India as a product development hub
Suppliers’ Expectations OEMs’ Expectations
Explore joint development opportunities with suppliers
Share resources and financial risks
India specific product development can be best done in India
Honour commitments during design/development phase
Suppliers should build capabilities in basic areas– Problem solving– Design understanding– Program management
Invest in testing facilities Collaborate with other
suppliers to provide a system solution
Provide proven products
Expectation Mismatch
To take advantage of affordable R&D and develop India as an integrated hub, OEM’s and suppliers need to increase collaboration for mutual benefit

“Pre-competitive or basic research is happening in India wherein Industry and institutes interact for common minimum programs”
“Industry-Institute relationship is more mature in Germany and UK, where development, prototyping happens. It is mandatory for institutes to do applied research ”
“While few institutions have started focusing on applied research, institutional R&D is piecemeal and applied research is largely missing”
“Industry is ahead of the level of manpower provided by institutes; Indian engineers need 3 years of on-job training as compared to 3 months in Germany”
Institutes need to be mandated and incentivized for applied researchSource: Primary research, Secondary research

India’s automotive R&D testing infrastructure• There has been an effort
towards improvement of testing and validation infrastructure in India
• The testing infrastructure is insufficient for India’s product development ambitions
• Visionary OEMs and suppliers have not waited for infrastructure to come up, they have invested in own advanced testing facilities
