Auto & Auto Ancillaries

India's automotive industry is one of the strongest pillars of the country's industrial growth and manufacturing ecosystem. The sector contributes over 7% to the national GDP, nearly 22% of the manufacturing GDP, and generates approximately 7–8% of the country's total employment, making it a key driver of Manufacturing India and economic growth.

India's emergence as a global automotive hub is a testament to the technical excellence, world-class manufacturing capabilities, and entrepreneurial spirit of both OEMs and component suppliers. The industry has consistently demonstrated its ability to adopt global best practices while maintaining cost efficiency, innovation, and value-driven products.

The ASSOCHAM National Council on Auto & Auto Ancillaries serves as an Industry Policy Forum, bringing together industry leaders, policymakers, and key stakeholders to promote regulatory reforms and the holistic development of the sector. The Council focuses on advancing sustainable development, green growth, infrastructure development, business competitiveness, export promotion, and global trade, while supporting innovation and strengthening India's position as a leading global automotive manufacturing hub.
