Today, India is emerging as one of the key auto component center in Asia and is ready to play a significant role in the global automotive supply chain. 


The Indian auto component industry is quite comprehensive with around 500 Key players in the organized sector and more than 10,000 firms in unorganized sector having the capability to manufacture the entire range of automotive components. Today the world's top car makers turn to India for the nuts and bolts of their vehicles. Riding this success, and capitalizing on the spiraling demand of domestic auto companies, the Indian automobile components industry has emerged as one of India's fastest growing manufacturing sectors, and a globally competitive one. 


The Delicensing and opening upto FDI has not only helped this sector to develop in the Domestic economy but also to clock impressive performance in the global markets. 


According to sources the Indian auto component industry is likely to almost double to 18.7 billion USD by 2009 and reach about 40 billion USD by 2014.

 

Its globally competitive auto component manufacturing sector has been much in demand with global auto majors. A number of them source critical components from India, with engine parts making up nearly a third of all exports: 


Contribution of Components in Exports: 

* Engine parts (31 per cent) ]

* Drive transmission and steering parts (19 per cent) 

* Body and chassis (12 per cent) 

* Suspension and braking parts (12 per cent) 

* Equipment (10 per cent) 

* Electrical parts (9 per cent) 

* Others (7 per cent) 


The India Advantage: 

Steered by the country's high engineering skills, established production lines, a thriving domestic automobile industry and competitive costs, global auto majors are rapidly ramping up the value of components they source from India. The industry is poised to jump from exports of 1.8 billion USD in 2005-06 to 5.9 billion USD in 2008-09. According to the Automotive Component Manufacturers Association of India, (ACMA) more than one third (36 per cent) of Indian auto component exports head for Europe, with North America a close second at 26 per cent. 


India enjoys a cost advantage with regard to manufacturing components, The country enjoys natural advantage and is among the lowest cost producers of steel in the world. Sourcing the components from India is 10-20% cheaper for US auto makers and about 50% cheaper for their European counterpart.

 

India's competitive advantage does not come from costs alone, but from its full service supply capabilities as well. 


* During the year 2006-07, components worth 2 billion USD were exported by Indian companies, 75 per cent of which were bought directly by car companies.

 
* Over 20 OEMs have set up their International Purchase Offices (IPOs) in India to the components. This number is expected to double by the year 2010. 


Government initiatives: 

Government of India allows automatic approval for foreign equity investment up to 100 per cent for the manufacture of auto components.

 

Manufacturing and imports in this sector is free from licensing and approvals. There is no local content regulation in the auto industry. The engineering export promotion council under the aegis of Ministry of Commerce and Industry, Government of India, over the years has been engaged in promoting exports of engineering goods including auto parts. Among other initiatives that have been effected in 2006-07, some are: 


* Reduction in the duty of raw material to 5-7.5 per cent from the earlier 10 per cent. 

* Setting up of the National Automotive Testing and RandD Infrastructure Project (NATRIP) at a total cost of US$ 388.5 million for enabling the industry to usher in global standards of vehicular safety, emission and performance standards. 

* Finalization of the Automotive Mission Plan (AMP) 2006- 2016 for making India a preferred destination for design and manufacture of automobile and automotive components. 

Climbing up the value chain: 

The Indian automotive component industry has made a sustained shift to the global Tier 1 market for their products. In the 1990s, the Indian auto components market was dominated by supplies to the aftermarket, with only 35 per cent of exports being sourced by Tier 1 OEMs. In 2006, it is a very different story. Today, Indian automobile component manufacturers supply 75 per cent of their exports to Tier 1 OEMs and only 25 per cent to the aftermarket. 


Indian component suppliers have displayed a growing capability to cater to the engineering and production needs of the some of the world's biggest auto companies. This is largely due to: 


* Proficiency in understanding technical drawings and being well conversant in all global automotive standards: American, Japanese, Korean and European 

* Appropriate automation has led to economically attractive production costs 

* Flexibility in small batch production 

* Growing IT capability for design, development and simulation

 

Striking the growth chart, Indian companies are: 

* increasing investments for expanding their production capacity 

* establishing Joint ventures/partnerships in India and abroad 

* investing in or acquiring companies overseas 

* establishing greenfield manufacturing footprints overseas 


The road ahead: 

Exciting times lie ahead for the Indian automotive component industry. Besides the burgeoning demand from global auto majors, there is also the domestic car industry, which is growing at a spanking rate of over 16 per cent, driven by a rising consumer base and affordable loans. The continuation of industrial buoyancy suggests that the strong macroeconomic fundamentals will continue to provide the required impetus to sustain growth momentum ahead.

 

Omax Operational Performance: 

During the year 2006-07 the  company made large investments towards enhancing its manufacturing strengths by way of expansion, modernization and integration of its existing facilities The Company has invested significantly inbuilding substantial capacities for their existing as well as new customers targeted to drive growth in the coming years.

 
The Facilities of the company were augmented, modernized and automated which will support their growth initiatives. As they look ahead over the next couple of years they are confident that their investments will come to fruition leading to a strong product flow into their markets.

 
During the year under report the company has under taken aggressive expansion of all the eight world class manufacturing facilities. In view of better administrative control and to minimize the operating cost the company felt the need to restructure and merge the exiting unit situated at Gurgaon and the unit at Binola in to one, and the entire production facilities to combined into at Binola. and the same has been successfully effected without effecting the supplies to their valuable customers. 


Strategic moves:

A matter of pride has been the fact that the company has been offered a business opportunity from a pioneer in the Domestic automotive industry, Tata Motors Ltd. for manufacturing and assembly of chassis for their light, medium and heavy commercial vehicles. With a strategic move to enter into the four wheeler foray The company is going to set up a new manufacturing unit for Tata Motors Ltd. at Lucknow, in the state of Uttar pradesh for manufacturing Chassis for their Commercial vehicles. In view of outstanding economic growth coupled with increased investment in infra-structural sector the  company believe that the market of commercial vehicles would continue to see robust growth in the years ahead. 


The estimated capex for setting up the facility in Lucknow is Rs. 1000.000 millions approx which shall be incurred in two phases, and the same be funded partially by way of term loans and the rest from internal accruals. During the first phase of operation the project is expected to offer an annual turnover of Rs. 1000.000 millions approx, which will later grow with the growth in the production capacity and by the year 2010-11, the project is expected will give an annual turnover of Rs. 2000.000 millions approx. Considering the scope in commercial vehicle sector, we are expecting very good growth in this sector and the turnover may go upto Rs. 5000.000 millions. The trial production in the Lucknow plant is expected to commence by the second quarter of 2008. 

 

Outlook: 
The company is moving up with a strategic plan to build global scales and capabilities. Necessary Capex is being done and planned across all the areas within the  company right from the sheet metal press components to machining to Engineering design/Development and R and D, these investments will help the  company to increase its customer base and product portfolio and become a strategic partner to OEMs across the globe.
