BorgWarner - a global leader in propulsion system solutions - has three production plants and one technical center in India. With India set to adopt BS VI emission norms, auto component suppliers are looking at huge business opportunities.

In a bid to lay down the groundwork for their upcoming launch, Tork Motors, the Pune-based electric vehicle manufacturer, has installed their first unit of their EV fast-charging station at Cafe Peter’s Bund Garden Road outlet in Pune, Maharashtra.

The new EV charging station is in line with the government’s vision to ensure seamless and faster adoption of electric vehicles and is the first of many that the company plans to install in the coming years.

With safety and emission standards getting tighter, automakers are looking to develop car body which can fulfill these regulatory obligations.

For passenger car players, there is a huge opportunity in terms of sales. Also, many international players have plans to set up their manufacturing units in India to cater to domestic and international markets.

The roll out of the government’s FAME II policy will give a needed impetus and help achieve greater penetration of EV.

A lot of upcoming norms are being planned, some of which are already mandated at least till 2025-26. Biswajyoti Mandal, Vice President, Technology,etc.

A sea of change is occurring in the automotive industry and rather than one, it is an amalgamation of different factors. We are staring at the threshold of the auto industry’s Renaissance.

There is a significant shift in the patterns and consumers are looking at EVs as a serious and safe alternative to petrol vehicles, informs Nagesh Basavanhalli, Managing Director & CEO, Greaves Cotton Limited.
