Autocar Professional’s Mar 1, 2025 Edition is out! Strap: This edition takes an in-depth look at India’s auto component industry as it undergoes a major transformation, driven by mergers, acquisitions, and private equity investments. Traditionally reliant on organic growth, Indian automotive suppliers are now aggressively scaling up, adopting new technologies, and expanding globally to remain competitive in a rapidly evolving market. This edition brings you the full picture. Leading players like Anand Group, Minda Corp, and Lumax Autotech are embracing M&A as a strategic necessity rather than an option. Anand Group has set an ambitious revenue target of ₹50,000 crore by 2030, while Minda Corp’s $3 billion growth plan is being fueled by high-value acquisitions.
