India's Auto Industry Needs Fixes to Succeed in New Decade
The Indian auto industry needs to improve how it works to succeed, especially with electric vehicles (EVs).
A new study says the industry has problems getting things done because teams aren't working well together, leading to delays.
Many suppliers are struggling to develop new parts.
Automakers often use the same teams for both old and new cars, which slows everything down.
The study suggests that car companies and suppliers should work together more closely, share goals, and track progress better.
This means forming partnerships, involving suppliers early in the process, and using new tools.
Indian auto industry faces execution challenges for future success.
88% of auto component suppliers struggle with R&D capacity shortages.
EV programs face delays due to poor coordination and capacity mismatches.
Suppliers face pressure from unclear forecasts and last-minute design changes.
