Auto component makers may see up to ₹4.5k cr revenue hit this fiscal due to tariffs
New Delhi, Apr 28 (PTI) Leading auto component manufacturers could take a revenue hit of up to ₹ 4,500 crore in the current fiscal due to dip in overseas shipments stemming from the tariff-related impact, ratings firm Icra said on Monday.
Icra expects the revenue growth of Indian auto component industry, represented by sample of 46 auto ancillaries with aggregate annual revenues of over ₹ 3 lakh crore in FY2024, to ease to 6-8 per cent in FY2026, against 8-10 per cent projected earlier, if there is mid-to-high single-digit revenue decline in exports to the US, stemming from the tariff-related impact, it said in a statement.
The steep increase in import tariffs imposed recently by the US is estimated to burden the entire supply chain with an incremental cost of around ₹ 9,000 crore, which will need to be borne by the US consumers, US importers, and Indian exporters, it said.
The extent to which the Indian auto component exporters share the cost burden will be contingent on their competitiveness and the price elasticity of the products exported.
"While the auto component suppliers with whom Icra has interacted indicate that most of the incremental costs would be passed on, however, as in any buyer-supplier negotiation, the extent of pass-through would depend on the supplier's criticality, share of business, competition, and technological intensity of the components supplied," Icra Senior Vice President and Head - Corporate Ratings Group Shamsher Dewan said.
If, on average, 30-50 per cent of the incremental tariff costs are to be absorbed by the Indian auto component exporters, Icra estimates an earnings impact of roughly ₹ 2,700-4,500 crore, which is 3-6 per cent of the auto component industry's operating profits and 10-15 per cent of the auto component exporters' operating profits, he added.
The Indian auto component industry demand continues to benefit from a diversified mix of end-user segments and geographies, with over 70 per cent of its revenues coming from domestic sales.
The US constituted only close to 8 per cent of the overall industry revenues in FY2024.
Export of auto components to the US grew at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 15 per cent during FY2020-2024, Icra noted.
The US government imposed a 25 per cent tariff on imported key automobile parts (engine, transmission, powertrain, and electrical components) vide an order dated March 26, 2025, effective May 3, 2025.
About 65 per cent of India's auto component export basket is estimated to fall under the 25 per cent import tariff category.
Prior to this, a 25 per cent tariff was imposed on import of steel and aluminium content in auto parts.
Subsequent to the order dated March 26, 2025, a reciprocal tariff of 26 per cent was imposed on exports from India to the US, on which there is a temporary pause for 90 days, but with a 10 per cent ad valorem duty still applicable.
Products that fall under the US-Mexico-Canada Arrangement (USMCA) are exempted at present.

PM Modi to visit Cyprus in the middle of Turkiye-Pakistan solidarity
Prime Minister Narendra Modi (File photo) NEW DELHI: As India works to expand its footprint in Europe, PM Narendra Modi will visit Cyprus on his way to Canada for the G7 summit and Croatia while returning home. Both Cyprus and Croatia are members of the EU and the former will hold the rotating presidency of the EU Council for the first half of the next year. Modi was scheduled to travel to Croatia last month, along with the Netherlands and Norway, but the visit had to be postponed because of the military tensions between India and Pakistan. The G7 summit takes place at Kananaskis in Alberta from June 15 to 17, with Modi participating in the outreach session on the last day. The eleventh hour invitation by Canada means that PM's programme is yet to be finalised but government sources said efforts are underway to schedule bilateral meetings. The visit to Cyprus, only the 3rd by an Indian PM after A B Vajpayee in 2002 and Indira Gandhi in 1983, will also be followed closely as it comes in the middle of tensions between India and Turkiye over the latter's support to Pakistan - and the show of solidarity by President Recep Erdogan himself - during the India-Pakistan military clash last month. Ankara's recognition of the so-called Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus in the northern region that was seized by Turkish forces in 1974 and differences over gas exploration rights in the Eastern Mediterranean remain a constant source of tensions between Turkiye and Cyprus. India has consistently backed solution of what is known as the Cyprus problem through UNSC resolutions and international law. As Turkiye stands solidly with Pakistan, India has sought to strengthen ties with both Cyprus and Greece, focusing on defence and security cooperation. Modi became the first Indian PM to visit Greece in 40 years when he travelled to Athens in 2023. Both countries have supported India on issues concerning terrorism and also on Kashmir. According to the MEA, Cyprus has backed India on a number of significant issues like India's election to UNSC, the India-US Civil Nuclear Agreement, NSG membership and also the 1998 nuclear tests. Modi's visit to Croatia on his way back will also be the first visit by any Indian PM to the country. S Jaishankar became the first Indian foreign minister to visit the southeast European country in 2021 as the 2 countries looked to expand bilateral ties. Two years later, India and Croatia also signed an MoU for defence cooperation.
