INDIA: The Nifty EV & New Age Automotive index aims to track the performance of companies that form a part of the EV ecosystem or are involved in the development of new-age automotive vehicles or related technology.

The Government of India has always been at the forefront of framing policies related to e-vehicle (EV) adoption in the country to promote India as a manufacturing destination so that EVs with the latest technology can be manufactured in the country and attract investments in the e-vehicle space by reputed global EV manufacturers, thereby giving a boost to the Make in India initiative.

Mukesh Agarwal, CEO, of NSE Indices, said, “The Nifty EV & New Age Automotive India’s first ever Electric Vehicle Index aligns with NSE’s vision to provide innovative indices in line with market trends. The launch of the Nifty EV & New Age Automotive index will facilitate the creation of products which will create an opportunity for asset managers to invest in the Electric vehicle and new age automotive market thereby providing an investment vehicle to investors.”

The base date for the index is April 02, 2018, and the base value is 1000. The index will be reconstituted semi-annually and rebalanced every quarter.

Dr Mahendra Nath Pandey; Minister of Heavy Industries graced the inaugural ceremony of SIAT 2024 with his virtual presence. Other dignitaries like Dr. Hanif Qureshi; Joint Secretary, Ministry of Heavy Industries, Government of India, Dr. N Saravanan; President of ARAI, Dr Reji Mathai; Director of ARAI, Dr David Schutt; CEO of SAE International, Dr V V Shinde; Convenor of SIAT 2024 and others were also present on the dais.

Pandey stated that the deliberations that take place during such symposiums will not only prove helpful for the Indian auto industry but will give some input to the auto sector from other countries. “While the auto industry grows in India with a phenomenal speed, our government is focusing on fuel efficiency, security, road safety, and reduction in carbon emission. The New Education Policy encourages skill development and so is our Ministry. The success of the 26,000 crore PLI scheme is evident now, where we are now able to develop and source almost 50% parts locally,” Pandey added.  

Speaking on the occasion, Dr Hanif Qureshi, Additional Secretary, Ministry of Heavy Industries, Government of India said, “While we are marching towards Prime Minster’s vision of making India a developed country by 2047, the Auto Industry will have a significant role to play. India has emerged as the automotive powerhouse and the world is looking at it. Currently, 7% of India’s GDP comes from the automotive sector and it is likely to grow substantially in the years to come. The growth potential of the Auto Industry is huge in India because only 8% of households have automobiles. Thus, we have a long way to go.”

Qureshi shared that the adoption of high technology would be the way forward for the Auto Industry to grow along with the focus on bringing down the cost, adding more features, reducing fuel costs, and achieving a great degree of customer satisfaction.

“Considering the futuristic needs of mobility in India, the testing and certification agencies are required to strengthen themselves. Especially, when we expect a sea change in vehicles on alternate fuels and electricity. The Electric Vehicle Industry is growing by a compounded annual growth rate (CAGR) of a massive 49%. In the financial year 2022-23, only 1% of the passenger cars sold were electric. The number of electric cars sold was just 48,000. Whereas there was a wide acceptability for electric two-wheelers and almost 7 lakh two-wheelers were sold in the financial year 2022-23. The country is likely to see a huge growth in India, which is currently the 4th largest auto market of the world,” informed Qureshi.  

He also shared that, certain provisions made in the last budget have opened the door of new opportunities for the auto testing and certification agencies in India where foreign car makers can get their cars/vehicles in India for testing and validation without paying any duty.

A virtual inauguration of new facilities such as the Advanced NVH Development Center, Advanced Accelerated Sled Lab, Advanced Photometry Laboratory, Foundation Stone Laying of ADAS, Cylinder Testing, and High Energy Impact Testing facilities at Mobility Research Center (MRC), Takwe took place on the first day of SIAT 2024 today. These facilities are being set up with an investment of approx. INR 146 crores and will provide developmental support to the Indian automotive industry.

The symposium witnesses a gathering of over 1500 automotive technocrats. Technical experts from 9 countries will present and discuss their research work in 48 technical sessions (8 parallel sessions). In addition, there will be 3 plenary sessions and a panel discussion on the theme of SIAT 2024.”
