China's rare earth curbs: No relief for EV cos as govt pushes localisation
The directive came amid growing industry concern over supply chain constraints following China's April 4 move to restrict exports of rare earth magnets Deepak Patel New Delhi Listen to This Article The Ministry of Heavy Industries, through its vehicle-testing agencies, on Thursday instructed electric two- and three-wheeler manufacturers to formally declare they have adequate rare earth magnet inventories and are producing key components — traction motors and electronic throttles — locally, as required under the PM E-DRIVE scheme, Business Standard has learnt. The directive came amid growing industry concern over supply chain constraints following China's April 4 move to restrict exports of rare earth magnets —critical inputs in traction motors. Automakers had been anticipating temporary relief from localisation rules, arguing indigenisation of certain auto parts in the current scenario was unviable.

China to get sleepless nights as Modi government makes Big move into Rare Earth magnets production, Rs 13450000000 to...
The demand for rare earth minerals is increasing quickly across the globe. These minerals contribute to several applications, like smartphones, electric vehicles, defense apparatus, and renewable energy technologies. Earlier in July, Union Minister of Heavy Industry and Steel HD Kumaraswamy stated that the Central government has drafted a proposal to offer a total of Rs 1,345 crore in subsidies to improve rare earth magnet manufacturing. This announcement is intended to strengthen critical technology supply chains in the context of restrictions placed on exports, primarily from China. Kamran Rizvi, the Secretary at the Ministry of Heavy Industries, has said that a draft scheme for rare earth magnet processing has been circulated for inter-ministerial consultation. The scheme is likely to provide incentives for establishing manufacturing infrastructure in the full value chain – mineral extraction and refining to manufacture of finished magnets. Kamran Rizvi, Secretary at the Ministry of Heavy Industries, stated that any manufacturer who does the end-to-end processing of rare earth oxides to finished magnets can receive the subsidy. This scheme will include both private and public sector enterprises. China's overwhelming control of global rare earth processing – commanding over 90 per cent of the world's magnet production capacity–has created significant vulnerabilities for industries worldwide. These materials are critical across multiple sectors, including automobiles, home appliances, and clean energy systems.

Govt begins formulation of Automotive Mission Plan 2047 to establish India as global auto leader
The government has initiated the formulation of the Automotive Mission Plan 2047 (AMP 2047), a strategic road map aligned with the 'Viksit Bharat @2047' vision to establish India as a global automotive leader, focusing on innovation and sustainability, the Ministry of Heavy Industries said on Thursday. Sub-committees for AMP 2047 have held a meeting to outline objectives and framework and targets for sectoral growth, exports and industry advancement, to help increase India's share in global automotive trade. Seven sub-committees, comprising experts from government, industry, and academia, will guide the development of a comprehensive plan targeting milestones for 2030, 2037, and 2047. "The vision for 2047 is not an aspiration but a strategic road map backed by concrete targets for sector growth, exports, and industry advancement. We must think beyond specific technologies or companies and focus on India's global standing in 2047, aiming to increase our share in global automotive trade through innovation and quality," Additional Secretary in the Heavy Industries Ministry Hanif Qureshi said. The initiative involves various ministries, industry bodies (SIAM, ACMA, CII), academia, and testing agencies for an industry-led effort. "The Ministry of Heavy Industries, Government of India, under the visionary leadership of Prime Minister Narendra Modi, and with the guidance of Minister for Heavy Industries and Steel H D Kumaraswamy has initiated the formulation of the Automotive Mission Plan 2047 (AMP 2047), a strategic roadmap aligned with the 'Viksit Bharat @2047' vision. The inaugural meeting of the AMP 2047 Sub-Committees was held to outline the objectives and framework," an official statement said. AMP 2047 seeks to integrate the collective vision of stake-holders, including Original Equipment Manufacturers (OEMs), auto component manufacturers, policy-makers, academia and end users, to address challenges like technological advancements and charging infrastructure, the Heavy Industries Ministry stated. The meeting was attended by representatives from various ministries, including the Ministry of Power, Ministry of Road Transport and Highways, Ministry of Commerce, Ministry of Petroleum and Natural Gas, DPIIT, Ministry of Environment Forest and Climate Change and industry bodies such as SIAM, ACMA, and CII, FICCI, academic institutions, research think tanks and testing agencies.
