The 57th ACMA annual convention stressed on sustainable mobility, and a model that would best suit the Indian needs.
Not out of the purview of the changes and disruptions that are, or have striked the Indian auto industry, the auto components industry, under the aegis of ACMA, in no uncertain terms, expressed its support for sustainable mobility. The stakeholders of the Indian auto components industry, at the 57th annual convention held at Delhi, spoke in favour of a greener tomorrow. The theme of convention, ‘Future of Mobility in India: Challenges and Opportunities for the Auto Component Industry’ aptly reflected upon the opportunities and challenges the industry is enjoying as well as facing. Calling for a need to focus on building the pace to tackle challenges, and to tap opportunities, the ACMA convention saw OEMs and government officials mark their presence two.
In his keynote address, Rattan Kapur, the outgoing president of ACMA, stressed upon the Indian auto components industry to integrate itself into a global supply chain. He mentioned that the industry cannot stay oblivious to changes, and that the need was to prepare for the transformation. “Our hands are full as we graduate from BSIV to BSVI emission norms. The move is about leapfrogging technologies in a very short span of time, and is calling for significant investment and skill development,” opined Kapur. Touching upon the subject of emobility, Kapur averred that the progression to hybrids and fully-electric vehicles will provide an opportunity to acquire technologies. Said Vishvajit Sahay, Joint Secretary, Department of Heavy Industries, Government of India, in his address that the industry needs to be not only technology-ready, it also needs to build capacity. To succeed there is a need to acquire and train people, he said.
