Relax production-linked incentive, PM e-drive schemes, say auto companies
NEW DELHI: With supply chains crippled due to the severe curbs on shipments of rare earth magnets by China, the auto industry raised an SOS and sought relaxation from the govt in meeting the all-crucial domestic value addition (DVA) norms towards the production-linked incentive (PLI) scheme and the phased manufacturing programme (PMP) in the PM e-Drive programme. Sources said the companies, which include top manufacturers such as Maruti Suzuki, Hyundai, Mahindra & Mahindra, Bajaj Auto, Hero Moto, TVS, and Tata Motors, also petitioned the govt for permission to import complete assemblies of components from China in the short term to ensure that production schedules are not disturbed. 'DVA requirement in PLI and PMP in PM e-Drive schemes may have to be relaxed to allow for imports of completed assemblies,' the industry – which is currently not getting supplies from China and is banking only on existing inventory – said in a representation to the central govt, the sources told TOI. 'In the eventuality of the challenge not being resolved, the industry will be constrained to import complete assemblies of components from China in the short term,' the companies said, adding that the measure may result in a loss of business for local manufacturers of motors, sensors, and other components who use rare earth magnets. They also said that despite the import of full assemblies, there may still be challenges in production plans. '… this will not resolve the immediate problem of disruption in manufacturing, as the new components are not designed/compatible with the requirement of the vehicles being produced in India.' The companies also said that local value add-on in the vehicles will also be impacted as companies import complete assemblies from China, leading to cost escalations. 'The imports in the auto sector will rise as complete assemblies will have much higher cost.' The industry requested the govt to take measures so that India becomes self-reliant in the production of rare earth permanent magnets by establishing a complete domestic value chain. 'Financial incentives linked to production and policy support may be extended to promising manufacturers. Encourage local mining and production of magnets for reducing dependence on China through incentives. Financial and policy support may be provided to encourage public-private partnerships in setting up rare earth processing facilities and magnet production clusters across India,' the companies said. As magnet supplies stopped following new procurement procedures mandated by China to control any diversion towards defence and weapons production, auto companies raised an alarm over the impending challenges. They said that the matter will lead to the stoppage of production of certain models in June, while heading to a complete shutdown of production by the middle of July if new supplies were not forthcoming. The industry said that the shortage will impact the planned launch of many new models, apart from disturbing the entire value chain across passenger vehicles, two-wheelers, and commercial vehicles. The rare earth magnets are used for components like speedometers, electric motors, e-axles, electric water pumps, automatic transmission kits, speakers, sensors, and ignition coils in engines. Companies say a multi-layered approval process has to be followed before the magnets can be procured, and a final approval from China's Ministry of Commerce is also required.
