Complexity ahead: Navigating automotive portfolio shifts
The Indian automotive industry is witnessing shifts in customer preferences toward different body types (BT), such as sport utility vehicles (SUVs), premium hatchbacks, and crossovers, as well as features enabling driving experience and safety. These changes are creating cost pressures for automakers in an already price-sensitive market. Imminent emission regulations, including Corporate Average Fuel Economy (CAFE) 3, are expected to further increase compliance costs.

Toward a sustainable value chain for electric vehicles in India
India’s e-mobility space has seen rapid growth driven by the demand for cleaner transportation and is estimated to have 10 million electric vehicles (EVs) on the road by 2030. As the country aims to establish an EV value chain in India, environmental and social risks plaguing the value chain worldwide pose a significant challenge to India’s sustainability goals in the Indian government’s vision for 2030. This Viewpoint analyzes these risks and recommends an integrated approach by stakeholders to proactively tackle the challenges to sustainability in the EV value chain.
