    Key Challenges in the Automotive Sector

    EV & BS-VI Transition

    local automakers must manage simultaneous BS-VI ICE and EV production lines, FAME-II subsidy compliance, and shifting consumer demand across two-wheelers, three-wheelers, and passenger vehicles.

    Supply Chain Complexity

    automotive OEMs and Tier-1 suppliers navigate complex multi-tier supply chains from auto clusters in Pune, Chennai, and Gurgaon with GST-compliant logistics and e-way bill management.

    GST & PLI Compliance

    automotive companies must manage GST input credit across production, comply with PLI scheme reporting requirements, and meet FAME-II documentation for EV incentives.

    Cost Competitiveness

    local automakers must reduce bill-of-material costs, manage commodity price volatility, and compete against Chinese EV imports while meeting the ambitious export targets.
