OUTLOOK, OPPORTUNITIES, CHALLENGES, RISKS & CONCERNS
Global Economy Outlook:

The global economy has shown resilience in the face of
evolving challenges, supported by strong macroeconomic
fundamentals in both advanced and emerging markets,
along with steady consumer and government spending.
The United States has surpassed recessionary
expectations, with economic momentum gaining
traction due to a robust labour market and increased
investment. In contrast, China is facing significant
obstacles, including high tariffs, weak domestic demand,
and structural issues. Recent forecasts reflect this
disparity, as some analysts have downgraded China's
growth outlook.

Across the globe, inflation is still above the targets set by
central banks but is trending downward. The International
Monetary Fund (IMF) projects that global headline inflation
will decrease to 4.2% in FY2025 and further to 3.5% in FY2026.
This decline is attributed to easing supply-side constraints
and ongoing monetary tightening. In Asia, inflation has
increased more moderately compared to Western
economies and is now decreasing more rapidly, leading
to more measured adjustments in interest rates.

In FY2025, trade tensions rose due to a growing tariff war,
mainly between the U.S. and China, affecting various
sectors. These protectionist measures disrupted global
supply chains and reduced cross-border investment.
Simultaneously, the Red Sea crisis interrupted key
maritime routes, raising shipping costs and delaying
cargo movement, particularly impacting Asia, Europe,
and Africa, which contributed to supply-side inflation.

Despite these disruptions, the IMF forecasts global
economic growth at 3.3% in both FY2025 and FY2026,
which is slightly below the historical average of 3.7%. The
resilience of key economies and ongoing adaptation to
changes in the supply chain provide some degree of
stability. However, persistent structural challenges, high
interest rates, and geopolitical tensions will continue to
impact the economic outlook. These factors will
necessitate coordinated policy responses and strategic
planning to effectively navigate the uncertainties ahead.

Indian Economy Outlook:

India's economy demonstrated resilience in FY 2024-25,
navigating global headwinds and domestic policy shifts
with steady momentum. While external challenges such
as evolving global trade dynamics and geopolitical
tensions have posed uncertainties, strong domestic
demand and proactive fiscal and monetary policy
interventions have continued to support economic
growth.

India's real Gross Domestic Product (GDP) is projected to
grow by 6.5% in FY 2025-26, according to the Reserve
Bank of India (RBI) and the International Monetary Fund
(IMF). Key growth drivers include household consumption,
expanding manufacturing through Production Linked
Incentive (PLI) schemes, increased infrastructure
investments, and a digitizing services sector. The
government's focus on capital expenditure, rural
development, and support for MSMEs also supports
economic momentum.

Inflationary trends have been showing signs of easing in
recent months, prompting the Reserve Bank of India (RBI)
to adopt a more accommodating monetary stance. In
response, the RBI lowered the policy repo rate by 25 basis
points to 6% on April 9, 2025, and shifted its monetary
policy stance from "neutral" to "accommodative."
These actions indicate a supportive environment for
economic growth. Market participants expect further
rate reductions throughout the remainder of 2025,
depending on inflation trends and global economic
conditions.

The Union Budget for 2025 strengthened the country's
growth agenda through comprehensive structural
reforms and targeted fiscal support. Key initiatives

include a simplified income tax system, which eliminates
tax liability for individuals earning upto '12 lakh per
annum. Additionally, there will be increased investments
in infrastructure, logistics, and innovation. A fund of
' 20,000 crore has been announced to promote private
sector-led research, alongside improved credit support
for agriculture, clean energy, and Micro, Small, and
Medium Enterprises (MSMEs). These measures are
expected to boost productivity, create jobs, and
enhance resilience in rural areas and various sectors.
Looking ahead, India is well-positioned to maintain its
growth trajectory, supported by favorable
demographics, increasing investor confidence, and the
ongoing formalization of the economy.

Indian Automotive Sector:

The Indian automotive industry is forecasted to grow
steadily in FY2026, with domestic sales expected to rise by
5% to 8% year-on-year, as per India Ratings & Research.
Growth will mainly come from the two-wheeler segment,
supported by improved rural demand linked to a normal
monsoon and better crop yields.

The two-wheeler, passenger vehicle and commercial
vehicle segments are expected to see modest growth in
FY2026. Two-wheeler sales are projected to increase by
6% to 8% year-over-year, driven by premium products in
rural and semi-urban markets. Passenger vehicle growth
is likely to moderate to 2% to 5% due to high inventories
and weaker urban demand, while premium and utility
vehicles will still perform well. Commercial vehicles may
grow by 1% to 4%, supported by infrastructure recovery,
though overcapacity may limit gains, as per India Ratings
& Research.

India's Electric Vehicle (EV) sector is rapidly growing,
propelled by government incentives, environmental
concerns, and technological advancements. Initiatives like
the Faster Adoption and Manufacturing of Hybrid and
Electric Vehicles (FAME) scheme aim to boost EV adoption,
transforming transportation towards sustainability. The
market is projected to reach ' 20 lakh crore (approximately
USD 240 billion) by 2030, as noted by the Ministry of Road
Transport and Highways. The 2025 Union Budget supports this
growth with customs duty exemptions on 35 essential capital
goods for battery manufacturing.

However, a critical risk has emerged in the form of global
rare earth magnet shortages, following the imposition of
export restrictions by China, which controls a significant
share of the global supply. These magnets are vital for
electric motors, power steering systems, and sensor-
based technologies widely used in electric and smart
vehicles. The ongoing supply tightness could disrupt EV
production schedules, raise input costs, and pose a

potential headwind to India's ambitions in advanced
automotive manufacturing. In response, policymakers
are expected to accelerate efforts to localize sourcing,
encourage recycling of rare earth elements, and forge
new supply partnerships to safeguard the growth of
India's EV ecosystem.

Notable growth is expected in electric two and three-
wheelers, fueled by schemes like PM e-Drive ('10,900
crore) and FAME II. India targets 30% EV sales for private
cars, 70% for commercial vehicles, 40% for buses, and 80%
for two and three-wheelers by 2030 - aiming for 80 million
EVs on the roads. The country also promotes domestic EV
production through the 'Make in India' initiative.

The integration of Industry 4.0, semiconductors, and smart
mobility is transforming India's automotive ecosystem.
Key investments in automation and AI-driven production
are essential for OEMs and Tier-1 suppliers. Furthermore,
government initiatives like ' 25,938 crore Production-
Linked Incentive (PLI) scheme and ' 18,100 crore ACC
Battery Storage Program will enhance India's status as a
hub for advanced automotive and electric vehicle
technologies.

In conclusion, while FY2026 growth may normalize from
past highs, but in long term India's automotive sector
remains strong. With steady domestic demand, growing
electric vehicle adoption, and an emphasis on exports
and innovation, India is advancing toward becoming a
global leader in automotive and EV manufacturing.

Indian Auto Ancillary Sector :

The Indian auto ancillary sector is showing significant
growth, driven by strong domestic demand, rising
exports, and government incentives focused on
manufacturing excellence and innovation. As a key part
of India's industrial and economic framework, the
industry is positioned for a positive outlook in the near to
medium term.

India's auto component sector is gearing up for a major
leap forward. With production expected to more than
double and touch $145 billion by 2030, and exports likely
to triple to $60 billion, the country is setting its sights on
becoming a key global player. This growth could lead to
a healthy trade surplus of $25 billion, while also
significantly boosting employment-adding 2 to 2.5 million
new direct jobs, and taking the total to around 3-4 million.
The aim is to grow India's share in the global traded auto
components market from the current 3% to 8%.

However, in the near term, the revenue growth of the
Indian auto component industry is expected to slow

down according to ICRA. After experiencing a 14%
increase in FY2024, the industry is projected to grow by 8¬
10% in FY2026. The growth in coming year will be driven by
several factors, including the premiumization of
components, higher value addition, and increased
demand from domestic Original Equipment
Manufacturers (OEMs).

One emerging challenge is the imposition of export
controls by China, which dominates over 80% of the
global rare earth magnet supply. These restrictions have
led to a 75% year-over-year drop in magnet exports as of
mid-2025. For Indian Tier-1 and Tier-2 suppliers that are
increasingly integrated into EV, hybrid, and electronics-
driven vehicle platforms, this has significant implications.
Key product categories affected include powertrain
components, instrument clusters, actuators, and
telematics modules—core segments within India's high-
growth auto ancillary export basket. The impact is
particularly severe for companies serving OEMs with high-
tech EV programs and global sourcing mandates, where
margins are tight and adherence to delivery schedules is
critical. This development has already resulted in a 15% to
25% increase in raw material costs for magnet-based
components, disrupting pricing strategies and
production timelines across the EV and smart mobility
value chain.

The government's Production Linked Incentive (PLI)
scheme continued to bolster the sector, encouraging
investments in advanced technologies and EV
components. The scheme is promoting the
manufacturing of Advanced Automotive Technology
(AAT) products and is significantly boosting the EV
segment.

In summary, the Indian auto ancillary sector remains on a
growth path, driven by increasing localization,
technological advancements, and supportive
government policies. While challenges such as global
economic uncertainties and evolving emission norms
persist, the industry's focus on innovation and
sustainability positions it well for continued expansion.

Growth Drivers :

1) Ongoing improvements in transport, logistics, and
urban mobility are driving demand for advanced
vehicles. Smart infrastructure and warehouses are
enabling faster deliveries and efficient supply
chains.

2) Industry 4.0 - automation, smart factories, and IoT is
boosting productivity and quality. Auto firms are
using digital tools for cost reduction and real-time
process optimization.

3) Global supply chain disruptions are driving reshoring
and diversification strategies. This shift offers Indian
auto component firms greater global market
opportunities.

4) Indian auto component makers have a strong
global presence and rising export volumes. Quality,
cost competitiveness, and trade partnerships
support this global expansion.

5) Environmental norms and consumer trends are
encouraging cleaner production methods.
Companies are adopting renewables, waste
reduction, and circular economy practices.

6) The Production Linked Incentive (PLI) scheme for the
automotive sector has been allocated ' 2,819 crore
for FY 2026, as per the Union Budget. This allocation is
part of a larger ' 25,938 crore scheme aimed at
boosting domestic manufacturing of advanced
automotive technologies.

7) The PM E-Drive Scheme (2024) allocates ' 10,900
crore to promote electric vehicles (EVs) in India. It
offers subsidies for EVs, including two-wheelers,
three-wheelers, and commercial vehicles, while
boosting EV infrastructure. This initiative supports EV
adoption, local manufacturing, and growth in the
auto ancillary sector, particularly in batteries and
charging solutions.

Risks :

1) With OEMs facing cyclical demand and potential
market slowdowns, they may experience reduced
order volumes, which can strain their production
capacity and revenue projections.

2) Persistent disruptions (exacerbated by geopolitical
tensions or residual effects of global pandemic) could
delay the procurement of critical raw materials and
components, leading to production bottlenecks and
increased operational costs.

3) Global rare earth magnet shortages, driven by export
restrictions and concentrated supply chains (notably
in China), are disrupting production schedules and
increasing input costs, especially in EVs and
electronics-heavy assemblies.

4) Rising prices of key raw materials and energy could
increase the working capital required to maintain
inventory and lead to thinner margins if cost pass¬
through is limited.

5) Intensified global competition reducing pricing power
and market share.

6) Geopolitical instability may cause uncertainties in
export markets.

7) Currency fluctuations may raise import costs for
essential components
