![]() ![]() ![]() Prasad added that currently most of the advanced automotive technology components are being imported because of an almost non-existent supply chain base in India. With this, applicants under the scheme can submit applications for testing and certification of advanced automotive technology (AAT) products, which will help them qualify for incentives under the PLI Auto scheme.īengaluru-based TKAP, a JV between Toyota Motor Corp, Japan, Aisin Seiki Co, Japan, and Kirloskar Systems Ltd, India, manufactures axles, propeller shafts and transmissions for vehicles and supplies these to Toyota in India and globally, even as certain parts for Toyota cars are still being imported. On April 27, the Ministry of Heavy Industries had released SOPs under the PLI Auto scheme to testing agencies. ![]() “This will help speed up the overall process of application and approval process.”Īlso read: Polaris launches RZR Pro R 4 Ultimate, inaugurates new dealership in Chennai “The SOPs consist of simplified procedures with minimum paperwork,” he said. KN Prasad, the managing director of TKAP, has said that the standard operating procedures (SOPs) for the Auto Sector Production Linked Incentive (PLI) scheme will go a long way towards boosting the local manufacturing sector and reducing dependence on imports. SOPs for Auto PLI will boost local manufacturing A TKAP official told FE that localisation levels in value terms are a little over 50%, as certain subcomponents have very stringent quality requirements, for which the company is working with local suppliers (to raise their quality standards). This e-Drive, however, isn’t fully localised yet. “We aim to reach carbon neutrality by empowering our vendors.” “Whichever technology we introduce in India, our aim is to localise that and develop a vendor base for the same,” he said. Sudeep Dalvi, senior vice-president & director, and chief communication officer at TKM, told FE that while Toyota is taking the hybrid route to electrification of mobility, it’s taking a business sustainability route towards localisation of parts needed for that electrification. “The fact that Toyota India is exporting it to Japan is a shot in the arm for the Make in India initiative, especially considering that the quality standards of the Japanese market are the toughest to meet in the world.” “The e-Drive is a very complex technology, mastering which requires years of planning and months of execution,” a senior member of the Society of Automotive Engineers India told FE. While in simple words the e-Drive can be defined as a set of components and systems that convert electricity into power in the drive system of an HEV, the technology is all but simple.
