India Helping Auto Industry Meet Chinese Officials On Rare Earth Export Ban: Sources
Quick Read Summary is AI generated, newsroom reviewed. The Indian government is facilitating discussions between auto companies and China's commerce ministry due to China's export ban on rare earth magnets. India plans to develop its own magnet policy and domestic manufacturing, but it may take time. New Delhi: The Prime Minister's Office and the Indian embassy in China are helping Indian auto companies to hold a meeting with the Chinese commerce ministry in Beijing amid the neighbouring country's ban on export of rare earth magnets, people with direct knowledge of the matter said. China controls 90 per cent of the processing of such magnets, also used in industries such as clean energy and defence, apart from the automotive industry. India's three ministries - Heavy Industries, External Affairs, and Industry and Commerce - are involved in the discussions, people familiar with the matter said. A 50-member delegation of representatives from original equipment manufacturers (OEMs), Society of Indian Automobile Manufacturers (SIAM), and Automotive Component Manufacturers Association of India (ACMA) planned to visit China this week, but that did not work out. India is likely to consider having a proper rare earth magnet policy of its own to avoid the risk of getting caught in such a situation again, but that would take two-three years. There has been no import of rare earth magnets from China and no new licence has been issued since April 4, the day China announced its export ban. India is looking to develop domestic manufacturing capabilities and is considering offering production-based fiscal incentives to companies, news agency Reuters reported quoting two unnamed sources. The scheme, being drafted by the Ministry of Heavy Industries, also envisions partly funding the difference between the final price of the homegrown magnet and the cost of the Chinese imports. This would help achieve cost parity and boost local demand, Reuters reported, adding that funding for the scheme has yet to be decided, with the government likely to meet industry officials next week to finalise the details. The government company IREL (India) Ltd has been mining rare earth material for years, which are mainly used by atomic energy and defence units, with most supplies for other uses still imported from China. In Japan, Suzuki Motor has suspended production of its Swift car because of China's curbs.

Flipkart secures NBFC licence from RBI, to begin lending from own books
Ecommerce giant Flipkart has received a non-banking finance company (NBFC) licence from the Reserve Bank of India . Armed with this licence, the Walmart-owned firm can now extend credit from its own books. Responding to ET's queries, a Flipkart spokesperson confirmed the development. After Flipkart entered UPI payments, this is the second major fintech foray from the ecommerce major. In May, Flipkart UPI processed 3.47 million transactions, settling Rs 195 crore. This comes at a time when Flipkart has firmed up its plans to list on Indian stock exchanges. ET reported on April 22 that the company had received a nod from its board of directors to shift its parent entity from Singapore to India. While the new licence will allow Flipkart to lend from its own books, the company is already working with Axis Bank for a credit card product and with other lenders for consumer loans and buy-now-pay-later offerings. Now that Flipkart has its own NBFC, it can bring part of the loan book in-house. News agency Reuters reported the development first. Discover the stories of your interest Blockchain 5 Stories Cyber-safety 7 Stories Fintech 9 Stories E-comm 9 Stories ML 8 Stories Edtech 6 Stories 'Lenders are increasingly wanting to work with regulated partners given the regulatory scrutiny in this space. An NBFC licence can enable co-lending partnerships, which can help Flipkart's partners scale up credit disbursals,' said a founder at a fintech lending startup. Flipkart's NBFC push also comes at a time when its rival Amazon is in the process of acquiring Axio, a lending startup, as it looks to expand financial services under Amazon Pay. Its broader fintech ambitions are also playing out through an entity it backs. Bengaluru-based offers UPI payments, digital loans, and credit cards. The ecommerce company was last valued at $37 billion in 2024, when it raised $1 billion from its parent Walmart .

Apple gives Tata India iPhone repair business as partnership expands, sources say
Apple has brought in Tata Group to handle repairs for iPhones and MacBook devices in its fast-growing Indian market, signalling the Indian conglomerate's deepening role in the U.S. tech giant's supply chain, two people familiar with the matter said. As Apple looks beyond China for manufacturing, Tata has fast emerged as its key supplier and already assembles iPhones for local and foreign markets at three facilities in south India, with one of them also making some iPhone components. In its latest partnership expansion, Tata is taking over the mandate from an Indian unit of Taiwan's Wistron, ICT Service Management Solutions, and will carry out such after-sales repairs from its Karnataka iPhone assembly campus, both sources said. The market for repairs is only going to boom in India, the world's second-biggest smartphone market, as iPhone sales skyrocket. Counterpoint Research estimates around 11 million iPhones were sold in India last year, giving Apple a 7 per cent market share, compared to just 1 per cent in 2020. The latest contract award signals Apple's growing confidence on Tata as it hopes to win more business from the world's most valuable smartphone company. "Tata's deepening partnership with Apple could also pave the groundwork for Apple directly selling refurbished devices in India, like how it does in the United States currently," said Prabhu Ram, a vice president at Cybermedia Research. The takeover from ICT by Tata is currently ongoing, both sources said, who declined to be named as they were not authorized to speak on the matter. Apple and Wistron did not respond to requests for comment, while a spokesperson for Tata declined to comment. While Apple's official service centres across India can do basic repairs, they would now ship phones and laptops to Tata's facility for more complex issues. Wistron's ICT however will continue to service other clients excluding Apple, one of the sources said. Amid an impending threat of U.S. President Donald Trump's tariffs on China, India is also emerging as a favoured destination for iPhone exports. Apple CEO Tim Cook has said the bulk of iPhones sold in the United States during June quarter will be made at factories in India.
