much needed acceleration in the Indian LED lighting Industry. We expect that the company surplus scenario is
likely to continue for the next three years. We expect the company to post a CAGR of 14% and 18% in its top-line
and bottom-line respectively. Hence, we recommend ‘BUY’ for ‘FIEM INDUSTRIES LTD’ with a target price of

11. INDUSTRY OVERVIEW
The Indian auto components industry has experienced healthy sequential growth over the last one-and-a-half
years. The growth can be attributed to factors such as strong buoyancy in the end-user industry, recovery of the
global economy, improved consumer sentiment and return of adequate liquidity in the financial system. The
revival of the auto industry was initially driven by the fiscal stimulus programme of the government.
The industry currently accounts for almost seven per cent of India’s gross domestic product (GDP) and employs
about 19 million people, both directly and indirectly. The ever-increasing development in infrastructure, big
domestic market, increasing purchasing power and stable government framework have made India a favourable
destination for investment, as per the vision of Automotive Mission Plan (AMP) 2006–2016.
Market Size
The Indian auto-components industry can be broadly classified into the organised and unorganised sectors. The
organised sector caters to the original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) and consists of high-value precision
instruments while the unorganised sector comprises low-valued products and caters mostly to the aftermarket
category.
The Indian auto component industry is expected to register a turnover of US$ 66 billion by FY 15–16 with the
likelihood to touch US$ 115 billion by FY 20–21 depending on favourable conditions, as per the estimates by
Automotive Component Manufacturers Association of India (ACMA). In addition, industry exports are projected
to reach US$ 12 billion by FY 15–16 and add up to US$ 30 billion by FY 20–21.
Revenues for the auto industry in 2014-15 are expected to grow by 11-12 per cent supported by healthy
recovery by major original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) in the medium and heavy commercial vehicles
(M&HCV) and passenger vehicle (PV) segment.
Investments
The cumulative foreign direct investment (FDI) inflows into the Indian automobile industry during the period
April 2000 – February 2015 were recorded at US$ 12,232.06 million, as per data published by the Department of
Industrial Policy and Promotion (DIPP).
Some of the major investments made into the Indian auto components sector are as follows:
• Amtek Auto Ltd has acquired Germany-based Scholz Edelstahl GmbH through its 100 per cent Singapore-
based subsidiary Amtek Precision Engineering Pte Ltd.
• MRF Ltd plans to invest Rs 45000.00 mn (US$ 711.16 million) in its two factories in Tamil Nadu as part of its
expansion plan.

12. • Uno Minda has formed a joint venture with Kosei Aluminum Co. Ltd, a Japanese alloy wheel maker, to
manufacture and sell alloy wheels in India. This new project will set up a total investment of Rs 2000.00 mn
(US$ 31.61 million), with Uno Minda holding a 70 per cent stake and Kosei Aluminum 30 per cent.
• German luxury car maker Bayerische Motoren Werke AG’s ( BMW ’s) will set up a local sourcing parts from at
least seven India-based auto parts makers in response to promote ‘Make in India’.
• Motherson Sumi Systems Ltd has acquired assets of German auto parts maker Scherer & Trier GmbH &
Company KG of US$ 44.8 million, which includes two factories, one each in Germany and Mexico. The
acquisition will be made through its Netherlands-based subsidiary Samvardhana Motherson Automotive
Systems Group BV.
• Hero MotoCorp is investing Rs 50000.00 mn (US$ 790.22 million) in five manufacturing facilities across
India, Colombia and Bangladesh, to increase its annual production capacity to 12 million units by 2020.
• Suzuki Motor Corp. plans to plant automobiles for India and Africa. It also aims to introduce 10 new models
in India and aims to control 50 per cent of the local passenger car market by 2020.
Government Initiatives
The Government of India’s Automotive Mission Plan (AMP) 2006–2016 has come a long way in ensuring the
growth of this sector in the global market. It is expected that this sector's contribution to the GDP will double
reaching a turnover of US$ 145 billion in 2016 due to the government’s special focus on exports of small cars,
multi-utility vehicles (MUVs), two and three-wheelers and auto components. Also, the deregulation of FDI in this
sector has helped foreign companies to invest huge amounts in India.
“The government has instilled confidence in the market with assurance of positive policy changes. We hope that
by the fiscal year 2014–15, capacity utilisation will go up to 90 per cent," as per, President, ACMA.
Road Ahead
The rapidly globalising world is opening new avenues for the transportation industry, generating the need for
more efficient, safe and reliable modes of transportation, which is subsequently adding to the auto component
industry’s growing opportunities. According to a report by the Confederation of Indian Industry (CII), the Indian
auto component industry is set to become the third largest in the world by 2025. Also, by that time, newer
verticals and opportunities for component manufacturers will open up as the automobile market will shift
towards electric, electronic and hybrid cars, and newer technologies will have to be adopted via systematic
research and development.
Indian auto component makers are well positioned to benefit from the globalisation of the sector as exports
potential could be increased by up to four times to US$ 40 billion by 2020.
