Magnets in limbo: No rare earth nod yet from China for Indian auto suppliers
No Indian auto component or vehicle manufacturer has received approval from the Chinese government to procure rare earth magnets so far, Times of India reported citing sources. Despite efforts by Indian officials to intervene, the sources said there is "no clarity as yet" on when a meeting with Chinese representatives might happen. The applications for sourcing magnets were submitted primarily by auto component makers who manufacture complete, high-tech assemblies. These include speedometers, electric motors, e-axles, electric water pumps, automatic transmission kits, speakers, sensors, and ignition coils used in engines. Among the companies that have applied are Uno Minda , Bosch , Mareli, TVS Group, Motherson Sumi , and Sona Comstar. Economic Times reported this week that the number of India-based firms awaiting approval from China's ministry of commerce to import rare earth magnets has nearly doubled—from 11 two weeks ago to 21 now. This list includes Bosch India, Marelli Powertrain India, Mahle Electric Drives India, TVS Motor, and Uno Minda. Sona Comstar, whose earlier application was rejected due to procedural issues, has reapplied and is now among the 21 companies awaiting clearance, a senior industry executive told ET. 'There were no approvals so far, according to the latest assessment we carried through interactions with industry representatives,' one source told TOI. 'The situation is grave, and there is now massive uncertainty regarding manufacturing schedules and factory output.' The request for a meeting with Chinese representatives is being followed up not only by leading industry bodies such as the Auto Component Manufacturers Association (Acma) and Society of Indian Automobile Manufacturers (Siam), but also by government ministries including heavy industries, external affairs, and commerce. Live Events Senior officials from major automobile companies such as Maruti Suzuki , Mahindra & Mahindra, Tata Motors , Bajaj Auto , and TVS are also involved in pursuing the matter with the government and diplomatic channels. Earlier this week, the auto industry held a meeting with top officials at the Ministry of Heavy Industries as the government examined possible solutions to the crisis. 'However, not much headway was made so far,' an official source told the newspaper. Industry executives said that Ernst & Young has been brought on board by the ministry to assist with the issue. During the meeting, officials also reviewed the current preparedness of some Indian companies that are working in the field of magnet production. Automakers urged local magnet producers to provide a firm supply timeline, if at all possible, stating that uninterrupted production lines depend on timely procurement of components. According to the report, both Acma and Siam have drawn up a list of delegates they hope to send to China if the Indian government is able to facilitate such a visit. China's restrictions were formally issued through a notification on April 4 this year. The new rules apply to medium and heavy rare earth metals, their alloys, magnets, and related products under the country's export permit system. To prevent diversion of these materials to defence and weapons production, China now requires exporters to secure a licence. This licence depends on an End User Certificate (EUC), which must be approved first by India's Directorate General of Foreign Trade (DGFT) and the Ministry of External Affairs, and then also endorsed by the Chinese Embassy in India. Only after these steps are completed can the EUC be sent to China for the final stages of approval—first by the provincial government where the exporting company is located, and then by China's Ministry of Commerce. Rare earth magnets are critical components used in permanent magnet synchronous motors (PMSMs), which are widely applied in electric vehicles because of their compact size, high torque, and energy efficiency. Hybrid vehicles also rely on these magnets for efficient propulsion systems. While parts manufacturers based in Europe have recently received approval from Chinese authorities to source rare earth magnets, their Indian counterparts—despite being part of the same multinational corporations—are still waiting for the go-ahead from Beijing. According to experts, this delay is worsened by the strained political and commercial relationship between India and China. Indian companies have been attempting to build local capabilities to reduce reliance on imported rare earth materials, but experts say this effort remains extremely challenging and is unlikely to provide immediate relief.

Planning to retire at 40? Here's what it really takes
For many working professionals, retiring at 60 feels like a finish line etched in stone. But in recent years, a new goal has quietly gained popularity, retiring at idea sounds almost rebellious. Stop working just when most people are hitting their career peak, and live the rest of your life on your own terms. No bosses, no Monday blues, no waiting for the behind this new aspiration, lies a tough question: Can you really afford to stop earning at 40 and still live comfortably for the rest of your life?IS IT POSSIBLE TO RETIRE AT 40?Abhishek Kumar, a Sebi-registered investment adviser and founder of SahajMoney, says it is possible but highly challenging. 'It depends a lot on how much of your income you save and how your investments grow over time,' he to him, someone who is 28 years old and aiming to retire by 40 would need to save around 79 times their current annual expenses, after adjusting for inflation. At age 40, that number may be around 35 Mota, Co-Founder and CEO of Finnovate, agrees. 'Yes, it is possible — but only with high discipline and intentional planning. The focus should not just be on earning more, but on saving more,' he says. He believes even those earning a middle-class salary can do it if they consistently save over 50% of their income and invest MUCH DO YOU NEED TO SAVE EVERY MONTH?Let's take the example of someone earning Rs 1 lakh per month. Abhishek Kumar explains that a 40-year-old with Rs 50,000 in monthly expenses would need to save Rs 18,080 per month just to retire by 60. 'But if the goal is to retire at 40, the monthly savings will need to be 60–70% of income or even more,' he Mota offers a similar view. 'If someone earning Rs 83,000 a month wants to retire by 40, they should save Rs 40,000 to Rs 45,000 each month and invest through SIPs in mutual funds targeting 10–12% annual returns,' he says. Over time, this could help build a corpus of Rs 2–3 crore by 40, which may generate a passive income of Rs 1–2 lakh per month depending on how the money is invested after IS FIRE AND IS IT RELEVANT FOR INDIANS?FIRE, or Financial Independence Retire Early, is a lifestyle movement that encourages people to save and invest aggressively with the goal of retiring decades earlier than usual. While it originated in the West, it is slowly catching on in India too.'FIRE is growing among India's urban professionals,' says Nehal Mota. 'It gives people freedom to travel, take sabbaticals, or work on their own terms, without financial pressure.'Abhishek Kumar, however, warns that the popular 4% withdrawal rule used in FIRE planning may not work as well in India. 'That rule is based on returns in developed markets like the US. In India, we should follow a more cautious withdrawal rate of 3.5% or even less due to higher inflation and market volatility,' he MISTAKES AND RISKS OF EARLY RETIREMENTOne of the biggest mistakes people make is underestimating how much money they'll need. 'Many believe they can retire with a small corpus that gives them Rs 1 lakh per month. But their savings rate is just 1–5% of income — that's not going to work,' says Abhishek Mota highlights a few more risks: 'People ignore the rising cost of healthcare, overestimate how much passive income they can generate, and assume they won't need to work again — but many do. Lifestyle creep is also a real problem. As people earn more, they spend more, and this delays savings goals.'HOW TO DEAL WITH HEALTHCARE, INFLATION AND EMERGENCIESBoth experts agree that managing health and emergencies is critical.'Start early with health insurance, maintain a proper emergency fund, and save enough to handle inflation through the years,' says Abhishek Kumar. 'Early retirees face a longer retirement period, so the risk of market downturns is higher.'Nehal Mota adds, 'Keep a separate healthcare fund, buy a lifelong insurance policy, and make sure your investments offer inflation-adjusted returns. Post-retirement, choose a more balanced asset allocation that offers stability and growth.'advertisementRetiring by 40 is not easy but can be done with commitment, smart investing, and careful planning. The biggest challenge is not income but behaviour – saving enough, staying invested, and being realistic about expenses and risks.(Disclaimer: The views, opinions, recommendations, and suggestions expressed by experts/brokerages in this article are their own and do not reflect the views of the India Today Group.
