Calling for a long-term stable and technology agnostic roadmap to allow localisation of technologies, Automotive Component Manufacturers Association of India (ACMA) has said that it is critical for the survival and competitiveness of the industry amid dropping vehicle sales.
ACMA President Deepak Jain highlighted that factors such as high domestic taxation, increasing fuel costs, steep rise in commodity prices are adversely impacting affordability of vehicles, and in turn the viability of the component sector.
Besides, he said in FY2021, the industry witnessed the second consecutive year of contraction in vehicle sales in India as overall vehicle sales fell by 13.6 per cent. Given the volatility in the environment, Jain said it was for the industry to find answers on how to ''strive to survive, piece ourselves together to revive and explore the opportunities for growth''.
