Automakers urge Indian govt for diplomatic outreach to China for rare earths
New Delhi/Mumbai: Having failed to secure a meeting with China's commerce ministry despite receiving visas, Indian automakers have now sought the central government's intervention, according to two industry executives aware of the matter. The issue: China has paused exports to India of rare earth minerals, which are key to electric vehicle (EV) production, and are also not approving Indian companies' fresh applications for their export. If the minerals don't start showing up on Indian shores soon, it is likely to hit the auto industry hard, especially EVs. Indian EV makers have now urged the Centre to engage Beijing through diplomatic channels, mirroring American efforts. On Wednesday, US President Donald Trump announced on his Truth Social platform that the US and China have struck a 'deal' that will see China resume supply of magnets and rare earths to the US. 'An escalation from Indian authorities might be required," said one of the executives cited above on condition of anonymity. 'What would we do with the visa if there is no meeting fixed?" An appointment with China's ministry of commerce is key, since it is responsible for the restrictions on the export of rare earth minerals and magnets. The two executives cited above said industry representatives met commerce and industry minister Piyush Goyal on Sunday before he left for Switzerland. They also made a presentation on Tuesday to senior officials at the Directorate General of Foreign Trade (DGFT), to request them for help in securing an appointment with the Chinese. The presentation, a copy of whichMinthas seen, notes that the industry delegation will request Chinese authorities to expedite licences for exporters of rare earth magnets to India. A footnote in the presentation also noted that India's ministry of commerce and industry was engaging with the Indian embassy in China to facilitate the meeting. Also read | Trump says China deal 'done'; Beijing will supply 'magnets, rare earths' The auto industry was represented at these meetings by the Society of Indian Automotive Manufacturers (SIAM), Automotive Component Manufacturers Association of India (ACMA), and executives from Tata Motors, Mahindra & Mahindra, JSW MG Motor India, Maruti Suzuki, and Gujarat Mineral Development Corporation (GMDC), among others. Queries emailed to these organisations, commerce and industry minister Piyush Goyal's office, and the DGFT remained unanswered till press time. Support assured To be sure, at the meetings, the Indian leadership assured support to the auto industry, including assistance in developing a local rare earth production base. GMDC has been involved in rare earth exploration in India for some time now, and it was mooted to use the company's expertise. Other companies already present in the trade also offered to ramp up their production. However, there was no mention of a direct outreach from the political leadership to China at these meetings, the two sources said. 'For India, while we may have a problem with permanent magnets in the short run, we are already engaged with industry and with our startup ecosystem to find solutions," Goyal toldThe Economic Timesin an interview published on Thursday. 'And I assure you that we are solving this problem." Also read | Maruti Suzuki pulls back on EV push amid rare earths crisis During the consultations, automakers also cited examples of authorities from the west reaching out to Chinese officials, including US President Donald Trump and European Union trade commissioner Maroš Šefčovič, the first executive cited above said. To be sure, apart from the US and China reaching an agreement on a trade framework that may help in sorting the matter, the Chinese commerce ministry said on Sunday that it is willing to fast-track applications of European Union firms. Solutions to be political Manoj Kewalramani, the chair for Indo-Pacific Studies Programme at the Takshashila Institution, a public policy school in Bengaluru, agreed that the solution to the current situation will be achieved through political means, especially considering the history between the two countries. 'In trade negotiations like these, both sides have in mind the question: How much is the situation hurting the other side politically?" he said. While China is holding the rare earth card, India also has leverage in terms of its high trade deficit with the Middle Kingdom. India's trade deficit with China widened to a record in FY25, just a whisker below $100 billion, as per data from the commerce ministry. 'The US deal with China could quicken the process of reaching a solution soon," Kewalramani said. Also read | Why are rare earths important for Chinese economy? Unless a quick resolution to the crisis is reached, automakers would be forced to curtail production, the industry sources said. Maruti Suzuki, the latest entrant in India's EV market, slashed production targets for e-Vitara, its first electric vehicle, by two-thirds because of the rare earth magnet shortages,Reutersreported on Tuesday. When contacted, a spokesperson for Maruti Suzuki said that while the situation was uncertain, so far there was no disruption to its operations due to the rare earth crisis.

ET Exclusive: Global shocks won't alter our plans for India, says Masahiro Kihara, CEO Mizuho Financial Group
India's demographic advantages, GDP expansion and opportunity to broaden exports make it an important growth engine for Mizuho Financial Group , says Masahiro Kihara , chief executive of Japan's third-largest megabank with $1.9 trillion in assets. The group is constantly evaluating opportunities for investment and lending in India, and plans to double the headcount at its global capability centre here, he tells Joel Rebello and Sangita Mehta. Edited excerpts: What is driving Japanese interest in India? The future of India is very promising. From a demographic perspective, you have a lot of advantages. Besides wages, the working age population is still increasing, which is totally opposite from Japan. You have a stable democratic framework with robust digital infra. And beyond that you are inducing people to come and make in India (with) start-up India, production-based incentives and so on. The Japanese are looking for areas where they can grow. So, India is a very promising area. Also, Japan and India have a long-standing relationship sharing the same values, having sympathy towards each other. So, that gives Japanese companies confidence to invest here. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like 5 Books Warren Buffett Wants You to Read In 2025 Blinkist: Warren Buffett's Reading List Undo Where does India fit into Mizuho's plans? There are 1,400 Japanese companies operating here and we bank with many of them. Many of these want to expand here. But there is also interest among Japanese companies to come here for the first time. We want to be supportive of the growth of Indian and Japanese companies. Also, we want to commit to the growth of India because both countries have been friends for many years. So, for us, India is a very important country. In November 2023, we increased our capital base to $500 million, so that our Indian operation can extend more lending. Live Events Are you likely to make more investments in India? I think at some point, we probably will need additional capital to inject here. And I'm happy to do that if there's a need for that. What would be the trigger for you to inject more capital? We have (invested) $500 million and based on the needs that we get from our customers I think it's sufficient right now. But as this country grows, I guess there will be much more for companies asking for lending. Any acquisitions that you're looking at in India? First of all, in terms of organic, we focus on five business areas: Japanese retail; asset management and wealth management in Japan; Japanese corporates; global corporate investment banking and sustainability. We are constantly looking at opportunities in these areas. So, I can't allude to what will happen in India. There have been reports about Mizuho acquiring a majority stake in Avendus Capital. What is the status? I can't allude to that. No comments. Will corporate banking continue to be your focus in India? We are particularly very good at corporate wholesale banking. In the global space, I think we should stick to wholesale banking because regional retail banking is very difficult. Wholesale banking is the area where we have expertise, we have strength. Given the global uncertainties in terms of rates, markets, trade and political tensions, what is your view on growth? Of course, there's a lot of uncertainties but at some point things will get clear. Then everybody will start adjusting to a new world order. So, I would say given that there's uncertainty from a global perspective, the activity might be slow. But once things get clear, activity will come back. Does it change the way you invest in India or will you have to relook at your plans here? I think India is a little bit insulated from all these things. I would say that India is a bit of a different story. Very different from Japan. So, we won't change what we were going to do in India. What would be the impact of the US tariff war on India? The effect on India is probably minimal. You might even benefit from production moving into India from other countries, given the fact that maybe the tariff rate is lower than the other countries. What is happening is that corporations are thinking of diversifying their supply chain from a stability perspective. Everybody is thinking about moving into areas that have growth potential. So, India is in a good position from that perspective. What advantages do you think India has over China? In the long run, the working age population, I think that's the most important part. For India it is going to grow. China is going to decrease. That's a big advantage. What are your plans on the global capability centre in India? We have around 600 people and we want to double that in two or three years and move in more and more operations here in India because India has a talent pool. Which are the sectors you're very optimistic about? In India there is ambition to grow in manufacturing from auto electronics, semiconductors and infrastructure. Increasingly, when the per capita (income) goes up, there should be increasing demand for retail too. India is constructing airports, highways, railroads. We have done many projects in the infrastructure sector. We have also beefed up the project finance team recently. The top 3 Japanese banks are here in India with deep pockets. How would you differentiate between yourselves and them? We at Mizuho are very good at industry research. We have a very strong global corporate and investment banking franchise, developed from 2015 when we purchased assets from RBS and onboarded 100 relationship managers. We want to integrate every capability that we need in the investment bank inside our bank, to get synergies between those capabilities. Based on these strengths, we'll try to bring all these capabilities into India too, and I think we can be competitive on them.
