Motown India seeks govt intervention as rare earth deadlock deepens
China controls over 90 per cent of global processing capacity for the magnets, used across multiple sectors, including automobiles. Notify me The 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, sources said. China controls over 90 per cent of global processing capacity for the magnets, used across multiple sectors including automobiles, home appliances and clean energy. The Chinese government has put restrictions, with effect from April 4, mandating special export licences for seven rare earth elements and related magnets. In Japan, Suzuki Motor has already suspended production of its Swift car because of China's curbs. Last week, Maruti Suzuki India Senior Executive Officer (Corporate Affairs) Rahul Bharti said China has asked for an end-user certificate, endorsed by the Indian government and approved by the Chinese government. "So that process is on and industry is in discussion with the government," he stated. Deloitte India Partner and Automotive Sector Leader Rajat Mahajan noted that the shortage is a major supply chain disruption, especially for EVs, as rare earth metals are used extensively in the electric moto,r which is a core component. Rare earth magnets have high magnetic energy storage capacity with low coercivity at high operating temperatures. "This has been an R&D topic for the automotive industry for a long time, but till now other magnetic materials have not seen large-scale commercial usage in applications like EV," he noted. Also, there are not enough rare earth magnets to recycle at this point in time to satisfy the EV volumes, Mahajan said. It will not be easy for OEMs to suddenly change course on powertrain as well as on alternate material. "This situation will hopefully get resolved via diplomatic channels, but if it continues, then we may see a shift towards powertrains for large OEMs," he said. Icra Senior Vice President & Co-Group Head Corporate Ratings Srikumar Krishnamurthy noted that rare earth magnets are used for multiple applications in EVs - electric motors, regenerative braking systems, power steering etc. Given that China accounts for around 90 per cent of the overall supply for rare earth magnets, the curb on export of the same by China can have material implications for the EV industry, he added. "The implications could include inflationary pressures (led by higher cost for rare earth magnets against the backdrop of shortage) or even disruption in production schedules in the absence of a seamless supply of the same," Krishnamurthy stated. While OEMs are evaluating options to reduce dependence on the supply of rare earth magnets, finding immediate alternatives is going to be challenging, he said. The critical materials include samarium, gadolinium, terbium, dysprosium and lutetium, which are essential in electric motors, braking systems, smartphones and missile technology.

China tightens supply: India's auto industry seeks govt help on rare earth magnet imports; key EV parts impacted
The Indian automobile industry has urged the government to step in and help fast-track pending approvals from Chinese authorities for importing rare earth magnets —key components used in electric motors and various car applications. According to PTI, industry sources revealed that, several Indian suppliers have applied for approvals through their local partners in China. But no permissions have been granted so far. China processes over 90% of the world's rare earth magnets , which are widely used in parts like speedometers, electric motors, e-axles, electric water pumps, automatic transmission kits, speakers, sensors, and engine ignition coils. Since April 4, the Chinese government has imposed restrictions requiring special export licences for seven rare earth elements and related magnets. In Japan, Suzuki Motor halted Swift production due to these restrictions. Earlier last week, Maruti Suzuki India's Senior Executive Officer, Rahul Bharti, said that China has requested an end-user certificate, which must be endorsed by the Indian government and approved by the Chinese authorities. "So that process is on and industry is in discussion with the government," he added. Deloitte India's Automotive Sector Leader Rajat Mahajan highlights this shortage as a significant supply chain disruption , particularly affecting EVs. These magnets possess high magnetic energy storage capacity with low coercivity at elevated operating temperatures. "This has been an R&D topic for the automotive industry for a long time but till now other magnetic materials have not seen large scale commercial usage in applications like EV," he continued. There aren't enough rare earth magnets available for recycling to meet current EV production demands, said Mahajan, adding that it's not easy for automakers to quickly shift to different powertrains or alternative materials. "This situation will hopefully get resolved via diplomatic channels, but if it continues then we may see a shift towards powertrains for large OEMs," he further noted. Icra's senior vice president and co-group head for Corporate Ratings, Srikumar Krishnamurthy, explained that rare earth magnets are essential in several EV components like electric motors, regenerative braking systems, and power steering. Since China supplies around 90% of the world's rare earth magnets, its recent export restrictions could significantly impact the EV industry. This might lead to higher prices due to shortages and even disrupt production schedules. "The implications could include inflationary pressures (led by higher cost for rare earth magnets against the backdrop of shortage) or even disruption in production schedules in absence of a seamless supply of the same," Krishnamurthy added. While carmakers are exploring ways to cut reliance on Chinese supplies, finding immediate alternatives remains difficult. These rare earth materials include critical elements such as samarium, gadolinium, terbium, dysprosium, and lutetium—used not only in EVs but also in smartphones and missile technology.

Feud on pause? Aides of Elon Musk and Donald Trump hold talks; but 'relationship remains uncertain': Report
Elon Musk and Donald Trump (File photo) The fragile peace, following the social media conflict between US President Donald Trump and billionaire entrepreneur Elon Musk held steady, as their aides engaged in talks on Friday, according to two White House officials cited by Politico. However, one of the officials addressed Trump's Truth Social hiatus with Musk saying, "He's stopped posting, but that doesn't mean he's happy," "The future of their relationship is totally uncertain," added the official, speaking under anonymity. Both individuals have temporarily ceased their public disagreements, which included Musk's impeachment suggestions and Trump's threats regarding federal contracts for Musk's enterprises. Neither party was keen on this cessation, according to the officials familiar with both men's sentiments. Trump was particularly irritated by Musk's suggestion of presidential connections to Jeffrey Epstein , stating Trump was "in the Epstein files." While Trump's name appears in publicly available Epstein-related court documents alongside other prominent figures, no wrongdoing has been linked to Trump. However, Musk's claim about Trump's electoral victory depending on his support, including substantial political contributions, particularly angered the president, the officials claimed.

Musk criticised the megabill for having a "MOUNTAIN of DISGUSTING PORK." When contacted, press secretary Karoline Leavitt told POLITICO, "As President Trump has said himself, he is moving forward focused on passing the One Big Beautiful Bill." The reported talks between the aides come just days after reports claimed that Musk might have talks with White House officials, although a direct dialogue between them seems improbable at present. Read more: Direct talks unlikely; White House aides may engage- report Tensions began rising before last week's social media exchanges. Trump expressed disappointment in Musk's overselling of DOGE's capacity to reduce federal bureaucracy. The White House's withdrawal of Jared Isaacman's Nasa leadership nomination, Musk's preferred candidate, reportedly further strained relations. A senior White House official informed Fox News' chief White House correspondent Peter Doocy that presently there are no plans for Trump and Musk to speak directly. Fox News learnt from a source close to the matter that "Musk wants a call. POTUS hasn't made a decision," suggesting that Trump is unlikely to engage with Musk, particularly on Friday. White House personnel director Sergio Gor, responsible for this decision, has maintained ongoing friction with the billionaire, according to both White House officials. Musk declined cooperation with Gor following a March Cabinet meeting where the president asserted departmental heads' authority over Musk, who attended the meeting. This meeting occurred after the Tesla founder initiated widespread dismissals and warnings to government employees, resulting in legal challenges and bipartisan criticism. While most lawmakers and Republican strategists believe Trump maintains advantage in any potential future conflict, Musk represents an unprecedented opponent: the world's wealthiest individual with social media influence comparable to presidential authority.
