Dedicated PLI scheme for green HEMMs vital to boost investment: Report
The scheme should prioritise high-value components with significant import dependence and offer graded incentives linked to value addition and indigenisation levels Press Trust of India New Delhi There is need for a dedicated production-linked incentive scheme for manufacturing of electric and other alternate fuel-based Heavy Earth Moving Machinery (HEMMs) as it will help unlock new investment, says a report. India currently has limited domestic demand for electric and alternate fuel HEMMs. In the absence of stable domestic demand, original equipment manufacturers, suppliers are unlikely to make the capital-intensive investments needed to manufacture electric and other alternate fuel HEMMs and localise key components, the report by the apex mining body said. There was a "need for a dedicated Production-Linked Incentive (PLI) scheme for electric and alternate fuel-based HEMMs and their critical sub-systems -- in line with existing PLI schemes for auto and auto components," the Federation of Indian Mineral Industries (FIMI) said in a report. The scheme should prioritise high-value components with significant import dependence and offer graded incentives linked to value addition and indigenisation levels. "A PLI scheme would help unlock new investment, generate employment across manufacturing, engineering, and R&D functions, and accelerate the development of indigenous capabilities in the electric and alternate fuel HEMM segment," the report titled 'Study on Adoption of Cleaner Vehicles for Indian Mining Industry' said. The study was conducted in collaboration with Deloitte and developed under the guidance of a Steering Committee comprising senior mining professionals from industry and original equipment manufacturers (OEMs). To encourage the adoption of environmentally sustainable practices in the mining sector, it was proposed that royalty concessions be extended to lessees who commit to using alternate fuel-based vehicles for their mining and associated operations. India is striving to meet its commitment to achieve Net Zero emissions by 2070, with mining identified as a priority sector for decarbonisation. HEMMs, central to mining operations, represent a significant share of the sector's carbon footprint.

No impact of rare earth magnet shortage on production yet: Maruti Chairman
China controls over 90 per cent of global processing capacity for the magnets, used across sectors including automobiles, home appliances and clean energy Press Trust of India New Delhi Maruti Suzuki India Chairman RC Bhargava on Monday said there is no impact on the company's production due to the shortage of rare earth magnets as of now. His comments come against the backdrop of restrictions imposed by the Chinese government since April 4 on the export of rare earth elements and related magnets. China has mandated special export licences for seven rare earth elements and related magnets. China controls over 90 per cent of global processing capacity for the magnets, used across sectors including automobiles, home appliances and clean energy. "There is no impact at the moment," Bhargava told PTI when asked if the auto major is facing any production issues due to the global shortage. The production activity at the country's largest carmaker is going on as planned, he added. When asked if the company sees a production crunch over the next few months due to the issue, he noted: "If the licenses come through and they are supposed to come through, there would not be a problem." The domestic automobile industry has sought government support in expediting approvals from the Chinese government for importing rare earth magnets used in various applications, including passenger cars. As per the industry sources, various domestic suppliers have already sought approval from the Chinese government through their local vendors in China. However, no approvals have been granted so far. Many companies are facing the heat due to the shortage of critical raw materials used across multiple sectors including the automobile industry. The critical materials include samarium, gadolinium, terbium, dysprosium and lutetium, which are essential in electric motors, braking systems, smartphones and missile technology.
