The event was graced by the Chief Guest, Jitin Prasada, Minister of State for Commerce and Industry and Electronics and Information Technology, Government of India, on February 5, 2026. During his address, he stressed that the Indian auto component industry will be the trusted partner of the European Union as well as the USA and will ensure that components for EVs and automobiles receive the necessary impetus for growth, enabling India to deliver world-class products.

The recently released Economic Survey before Union Budget 2026-27 pointed out that the auto industry exported more than 53 lakh vehicles across passenger, commercial, two-and-three-wheelers in FY 25 and recorded double-digit growth in exports in the first half of 2025-26. The survey also places a strong emphasis on scaling MSMEs as a cornerstone of India’s manufacturing transformation.

India’s auto component industry is expected to attract USD 2.89- 3.46 billion in FY26 for capacity expansion and EV part localisation, following an estimated investment of USD 1.73-2.31 billion in FY25. MSMEs in the industry provide critical parts ranging from precision forgings to electronics sub-assemblies. Participation and presence from the component and aftermarket industry from tier-II and tier-III cities at ACMA Automechanika shows the changing diaspora of the industry. 

The show also showcased leading brands taking new strides in the industry. Hindalco Industries combines alloy development with deep application engineering to co-create solutions with OEM partners from side-impact-resistant EV battery enclosures, crash boxes, ABS blocks and Front forks for two-wheelers. Brand’s recent investments at Kuppam in Andhra Pradesh and the state-of-the-art facility in Chakan enable advanced welding and machining technologies at scale. 

First-time participant from Spain, Horse Technologies is looking towards India as a positive destination for their components. The brand has introduced its hybrid engine for Toyota Fortuner, set to be launched in Diwali 2026. ZF Aftermarket India has introduced a new range of corrosion-resistant Sachs clutch discs and kits for agricultural tractors that deliver durability, comfort and reliability for demanding farming conditions across India and the wider IMEA region.

The event featured bold new product launches and technologies. Participants highlighted Asia as one of the fastest-growing regions, driven by rising exports and robust domestic consumption. With vehicle penetration at just 48 cars per 1,000 people in India versus over 800 in EU and Western markets, the long-term growth potential remains significant.

International pavilions also noted accelerating aftermarket demand in India’s tier-II and tier-III cities, supported by rising passenger and commercial vehicle sales. Favourable government policies and localisation incentives are encouraging global companies to manufacture in India, positioning the country as a hub to serve domestic demand as well as African and Middle Eastern markets.
