Historic Policy Trends and Changes for Automobiles & Components Industry.
2020 : Transition to stricter and robust emission norms which included , BSVI emission norms, Scrappage Policy, Incentivising local production.
2021 : Policies Focused on self-reliant manufacturing eco-system by increasing custom duty and introduction of Production-Linked Incentive (PLI) Scheme.
2022 : Implementation of PLI Scheme to boost local Production and support the EV supply chain.
2023 : Government kept on supporting electric mobility, with the FAME (Faster Adoption and Manufacturing of Hybrid and EVs) scheme to incentivise the adoption of hybrid and EVs.
2024 : Major updates in Industry standards regulation with introduction to IATF 16949 rules for quality management system.
2025 : Union Budget 2025 pushed for electric vehicle manufacturing by removing import duty on 35 key EV major battery components.
Summary of above Policy Trends.
Government’s clear vision is to transform mobility to sustainable, self reliant and environment friendly industry, by putting stricter rules for emission, giving incentives for local production and specially to EVs, by this we can expect more upcoming stricter laws for emission, which will be an issue to company producing internal combustion engine vehicles and EV manufacturer and EV components manufacturer will get more and more incentives.

Risks in Automobiles industry in India 2025
Product Dependencies
- Lithium Batteries
- Rare Earth magnets
- Semiconductor
- Crude Oil
Country Dependencies
- China (Battery, electronics, semiconductors, microprocessor)
- Japan (Engines and Semiconductor)
Government Intervention Risks
- EV Subsidy Withdrawal Risk
- Possible GST hike on ICE vehicles
- BS-VII emission norms complication and compliance cost
- Without Subsidy EV sales would drop by 40%
- New emission norms would require 10-15% R&D Spend
Conclusion
Automobiles Industry is a promising industry with high market cap and huge contribution to National GDP, and high projected growth but with government push for sustainable and greener mobility alternative, industry is transforming from ICE to EVs and government is imposing stricter emission norms which are forcing companies to spend extra 10-20% in R&D for the same. Looking at numbers and growth percentage EVs looks promising but it comes with its own risks, as it is highly depended on China for all major components including batteries and semiconductor also EV sales are highly depended on government subsidies and low GST which makes this industry very fragile as it is transitioning to a segment which is highly depended on multiple factors, which includes high dependencies on China which India already have high tension in the past and government schemes and policy may change every 5 year if government is changed which makes this transitioning sector fragile. But sub-industry like Auto Parts & Equipment and Tires & Rubber would not be affected much by the above which makes them a safe bet among the others in the industry.
