Eye on green future, auto majors line up over ₹2 trn

Giants like Tata Motors, Mahindra and Mahindra (M&M), Maruti Suzuki India Ltd (MSIL), Hyundai Motor India Ltd (HMIL), JSW MG Motor India, Nissan Motor Corporation, and Renault SA have indicated big-ticket investment for creating capacities, product development, and a commitment to cleaner environment-friendly technologies.

Last week Tata Motors, the country's market leader in electric vehicles (EVs), said it was planning to spend ₹16,000-18,000 crore as capital expenditure on its EV arm till FY30. The firm, which sells four electric car models, aims to launch six more by March 2026. The investment announcement comes when it is targeting a 20 per cent share in the PV market by FY30 and expects EVs to contribute 30 per cent of its portfolio by then.

India is the third-largest PV market where sport utility vehicles (SUVs) constitute nearly half of it. Moreover, 2021 per cent of this market, which is estimated to touch six million by FY30 (from 4.3 million in FY24), is expected to comprise EVs.

Tata Motors has said its product portfolio represents 53 per cent of the industry volumes. It aims to increase this to 80 per cent with new nameplates and will try to deliver over a 25 per cent market share across its addressable market. The last three years have seen the highest ever sales for Tata Motors.

As this battle for market share takes centre stage, most players are trying to create capacity.
