Centre launches new scheme to make India global hub for making electric cars
New Delhi: The government on Monday notified guidelines for its forward-looking scheme to enable fresh investments from global manufacturers in the electric cars segment and promote India as a global manufacturing hub for e-vehicles. To encourage global manufacturers such as US tech giant Tesla to invest under the scheme, the approved applicants will be allowed to import completely built-in units (CBUs) of electric four-wheelers with a minimum CIF (cost insurance and freight value) of $35,000 at reduced customs duty of 15 per cent for a period of 5 years from the date that the application is approved. . Approved applicants would be required to make a minimum investment of Rs 4,150 crore in line with the provisions of the scheme. The maximum number of e-4Ws allowed to be imported at the reduced duty rate will be capped at 8,000 units per year. The carryover of unutilised annual import limits would be permitted. According to the notification, the maximum number of EVs to be imported under this scheme will be such that the maximum duty foregone per applicant will be limited to Rs 6,484 crore, or the committed investment of the applicant of a minimum of Rs 4,150 crore, whichever is lower. The Standard Operating Procedure (SOP) issued under the Production Linked Incentive (PLI) Scheme for Automobile and Auto Component (PLI Auto Scheme) would be followed to assess the DVA of the eligible product as required under the scheme. Certification of DVA of an eligible product manufactured in India by the approved applicant would be done by testing agencies approved by the Ministry of Heavy Industries. Investment should be made for the domestic manufacturing of the eligible product. In case the investment under the scheme is made on a brownfield project, a clear physical demarcation with the existing manufacturing facilities should be made, the notification states. Expenditure incurred on new plant, machinery, equipment and associated utilities, and engineering research and development (ER&D) would be eligible. The expenditure incurred on land will not be considered. However, buildings of the main plant and utilities will be considered as part of the investment provided it does not exceed 10 per cent of the committed investment, the notification further states. Expenditure incurred on charging infrastructure would be considered up to a maximum of 5 per cent of the committed investment, it explains. The applicant's commitment to set up manufacturing facilities, achievement of DVA, and compliance with conditions stipulated under the scheme shall be backed by a bank guarantee from a scheduled commercial bank in India equivalent to the total duty to be forgone, or Rs 4,150 crore, whichever is higher, during the scheme period. The bank guarantee should be valid at all times during the tenure of the scheme, the notification added. The scheme shall help to attract investments from global EV manufacturers and promote India as a manufacturing destination for e-vehicles. The scheme will also help put India on the global map for manufacturing of EVs, generate employment and achieve the goal of 'Make in India', according to the official statement. This landmark initiative is aligned with India's national goals of achieving net zero by 2070, fostering sustainable mobility, driving economic growth, and reducing environmental impact. It is designed to firmly establish India as a premier global destination for automotive manufacturing and innovation, the statement added.

Tesla not interested in manufacturing in India, minister says
Elon Musk 's Tesla is not interested in manufacturing in India, said Heavy Industries Minister Kumaraswamy on Monday, as per an ET Now report. The EV giant is unlikely to manufacture vehicles in the country anytime soon, he said. 'Tesla only wants to open showrooms and sell imported cars,' he said. Kumaraswamy also said India will soon invite applications under its electric vehicle (EV) manufacturing policy. The minister also said Europe's Mercedes Benz, and Skoda-Volkswagen (VW), South Korean Hyundai, and Kia, have shown interest to manufacture EVs in India. Speaking to journalists, he said the application window for the Scheme to Promote Manufacturing of Electric Passenger Cars in India (SPMEPCI) will open soon. After that, the government will start accepting formal applications. The government has announced a scheme that includes significant import tax cuts for foreign automakers that commit to investing in manufacturing electric cars in the country. Under a rewamped scheme, companies will be allowed to import a limited number of electric cars at a lower import duty of 15% versus the current 70% duty if they commit to investing $486 million to build EVs in the country, the Ministry of Heavy Industries said in a statement. Meanwhile, in February, U.S. President Donald Trump said he believes any plans Tesla might have to open a factory in India would be "very unfair." Tesla had recently finalised some showroom space in India and posted more than two dozen jobs, signalling it is getting closer to a launch. Tesla has been mulling an India entry for the past several years and Musk has spoken against India's high import duties, calling them a major barrier to Tesla's expansion in the country. Tesla's gigafactories could boost India's manufacturing and tech sectors by producing EVs, batteries and charging solutions locally. But would they go all in? Tesla also has to be accepted first, and that comes with some challenges. Their direct sales model may need to be adjusted for India's dealer-centric market. Aftersales service, a critical factor, has to be robust. Then there is pricing — India is price-sensitive, with the bulk of the passenger vehicle market below Rs 20 lakh. The cheapest Model 3 retails for $42,490 in the US (around Rs 37 lakh), placing it firmly in the luxury segment in India, even before duties come into play. Initially, at least, these cars will likely be imported from Germany, adding a similar amount to the sticker price in duties, unless US President Donald Trump arm-twists India into cutting tariffs. That limits their market Rajeev Chaba, CEO emeritus of JSW MG Motor India, the India unit of Morris Garages, believes price point will be a challenge for Tesla. Musk, in January, hinted at launching more affordable models in the first half of 2025. A $24,000 car, colloquially called Model 2, has been speculated for years, but that may not happen if news trickling out of China is to be believed, where Tesla is trying to reignite demand with a cheaper, stripped-down version of Model Y instead of a whole new car. If Tesla wants to have more than a token presence in India, it would need to have better pricing, and value-driven offerings, than even China. 'I think India is ready for more players, especially as EV penetration continues to grow. Also, India's EV penetration is still low, with electric passenger vehicle sales accounting for less than 3% of total sales. However, sales have grown substantially, from 5,000 units in 2020 to over 113,000 in 2024. It is this momentum Tesla could tap, especially in the premium segment, Ravi Bhatia, president of automotive consultancy Jato Dynamics earlier told ET.

India's PLI scheme for electronics components: Is it a new growth chapter for EMS stocks?
India's electronics manufacturing sector (EMS) is entering the next phase of growth. Following the success of the 2020 Product Linked Incentive (PLI) scheme for electronics, the government is focusing on developing the electronics supply chain. On March 28, the Union Cabinet approved a Rs 23,000 crore PLI scheme for electronics components manufacturing. Several EMS players that experienced exponential growth over the past five years are now looking at backward integration strategies to sustain their high valuations. Among them are Dixon Technologies and Kaynes Technology India. However, the two stocks fell 28% and 47%, respectively, in the first three months of 2025 as a temporary slowdown in revenue and earnings made investors cautious. These stocks were trading at over 200x price-to-earnings (P/E) ratio as of January 3, 2025. Such stretched valuations prompted several analysts to downgrade their ratings despite the firms' strong revenue and earnings growth. Several developments unfolded during the fourth quarter of FY25. Investors and industry were anticipating the launch of a new PLI scheme or high-budget outlays for electronics components and semiconductors. However, uncertainty over the rollout of the new PLI scheme, combined with the existing electronics PLI nearing the end and no signs of any extension, led to investor unease. Meanwhile, Dixon and Kaynes started investing in manufacturing capacities to build electronics components. All these factors pulled down EMS stocks. The situation improved after the March 28 approval of the new Electronics Components Manufacturing Scheme (ECMS). However, market sentiment remained cautious due to concerns around potential retaliatory tariffs from the US under President Donald Trump. Hence, when retaliatory tariffs were paused for 90 days on April 8, the share price of Dixon and Kaynes jumped 32% in two weeks. The 2020 PLI for large-scale electronics manufacturing made India the second-largest mobile phone manufacturer in the world in FY 2025. According to a PIB press release on March 26, the scheme attracted a cumulative investment of Rs 10,905 crore, a cumulative production of Rs 7.16 lakh crore, and cumulative exports of Rs 3.9 lakh crore as of February 2025. Apple's contract manufacturers (Foxconn, Tata Electronics, and Pegatron), Samsung, and Dixon were the biggest beneficiaries as they opened facilities and produced Made in India mobile phones. The 5-year PLI scheme helped them set up manufacturing capabilities. While the scheme will end next year, PLI incentives account for a small portion of the profits. Despite domestic electronics production jumping from Rs 5.54 lakh crore to Rs 9.52 lakh crore in FY21-FY25, India does not make phones from scratch. Most components are imported from the US and other countries, assembled in India's over 300 manufacturing units, and used domestically and for exports. Hence, the materials cost of Dixon and Kaynes accounted for 89% and 70% of their revenue in FY25. However, these companies grew exponentially on the back of strong volumes. With the sector maturing, they ought to look for the next growth driver, and a promising alternative is electronics components, which they import. The Electronics Industries Association of India (ELCINA) highlighted that non-semiconductor electronics components constitute 60% of the total cost of finished products. The new ECMS PLI scheme will give EMS companies the boost they need to build electronics components in India and reduce their reliance on imports. The new scheme will give incentives based on turnover, investments in factories, and job creation. Like the 2020 PLI, the 2025 ECMS PLI will be open to both domestic and international stakeholders and is expected to attract Rs 59,350 crore in investment, generate Rs 4.56 lakh crore in production, and create 91,600 direct jobs. While it is too early to gauge the value the ECMS PLI will bring to India's electronics manufacturing sector, we can keep a watch on the possible beneficiaries. Apple's contractors, Samsung, and Dixon got a boost from the 2020 PLI, and now they are self-sufficient to make smartphones profitably and stay competitive. Apple is at the forefront of building a supply chain in India. Its manufacturing contractor, Foxconn, has announced plans to invest $1.5 billion in a display module plant in India. Meanwhile, Dixon is building a display module plant for mobile phones, laptops, and TVs it manufactures, and later expand to cater to external market requirements. It is also looking to apply for the new PLI scheme to manufacture camera modules, mechanical enclosures, and lithium-ion batteries, and use them in the electronics it makes for end clients. Dixon Technologies has been rapidly growing in the smartphone space, with its mobile and other EMS divisions' revenue up 203% to Rs 33,043 crore in FY25. It now accounts for 85% of the company's revenue. Dixon manufactures smartphones for Motorola, Xiaomi, Oppo, Realme, Vivo, Transsion, and Nothing. According to the company's CEO and Managing Director, Atul Lall, Dixon plans to double smartphone production from 28.3 million in FY25 to 40-44 million in FY26 and 60-65 million by FY27, and export a significant portion to North America. To achieve this target, the company is constructing a one-million-square-foot facility in Noida. With the 2020 PLI scheme coming to an end, Dixon will lose production incentives and could see a temporary slowdown in margins. It is likely to make up for it by taking a higher share of customers' wallets, new customer additions, and margin expansion through operational efficiencies and backward integration. Dixon has ventured into laptop manufacturing for HP, ASUS, and Lenovo. However, the volumes are yet to pick up, and investors have already priced in high growth. The stock trades at a 116x P/E ratio, which is supported by its high return on equity (ROE) of 33% and a 110% growth in profit. While laptops are a good business, their volumes may not be as high as smartphones. However, electronics components and display modules could help Dixon reduce material costs and supply chain risk. A push to higher margins could bring more upside, but share price growth would be moderate because of stretched valuations. Dixon Technologies Revised Price Target (Rs) Previous Price Target (Rs) Upside Potential from Market Price Rs 14,849 Ratings Nomura 21,202 22,005 42.8% Buy Motilal Oswal 20,500 38.1% Buy CLSA 19,000 28.0% Buy Anand Rathi 18,775 26.4% Buy BNP Paribas 17,910 20.6% Buy Yes Securities 15,741 16,566 6.0% Reduce JM Financial 15,650 16,500 5.4% Hold Source: Brokerage Reports
