A significant portion of India’s automotive imports, around USD 20 billion (approximately Rs 1.65 lakh crore), comes from China. This growing trend is reflective of China’s strategic interest in the Indian market, especially in the realm of electric mobility.
The term “Chinaman” used in cricket for left-arm wrist spinners symbolized guile and strategy, traits that can be likened to China’s approach in entering the Indian automotive market. The recent Indo-Chinese joint venture (JV) between JSW and MG is a testament to this strategy. Such partnerships are seen as a gateway for China to gradually establish a strong foothold in India.
Chinese companies view India not as a fragmented market but as a vast opportunity for electric mobility. They are focusing on components, technology, vehicles, and charging infrastructure. Even if companies like BYD take a backseat, component manufacturers and tech companies can still thrive through partnerships like JSW-MG.
India aims to boost electric mobility, with projections indicating that 30% of all vehicles sold by 2030 will be electric. Currently, one-third of India’s automotive imports are Chinese, a figure that is likely to increase given China’s dominance in battery production, controlling over 70% of the global supply.
Despite many attempts to avoid Chinese influence, their presence in India’s automotive sector is still inevitable. They will comply with Indian regulations, transferring technology similarly to how the Soviet Union did in the past. JSW’s chairman acknowledged China as a crucial source of research and development (R&D) and technology.
As Chinese technology and products tailored for Indian tastes enter the market, this collaboration will likely thrive. This blend of Chinese innovation and Indian manufacturing will benefit consumers, bringing advanced technologies to the local market.
Tesla, known for its revolutionary electric vehicles (EVs), is set to enter the Indian market. While Tesla EVs are celebrated for their design, performance, and range, not all their features are suitable for Indian conditions.
Some Tesla features could be highly beneficial in India:
In conclusion, while Tesla’s entry into the Indian market brings excitement, not all its features are necessary. Instead, focusing on features that enhance safety, convenience, and performance tailored to Indian conditions will ensure Tesla’s success in India.
