The International Centre for Automotive Technology (ICAT) is playing to its strengths across automotive design and engineering, research and development, testing and validation services. The objective is to help the stakeholders of the industry with an ecosystem that will aid in fast-tracking recovery from the slump on both the supply side and demand side. Forced to shift its 10-year target and the five-year vision plan by an additional year owing to a tough 2020, ICAT, according to Director Dinesh Tyagi has its task cut out. Averred Tyagi, “Because of the Covid-19 pandemic, this financial year is going to be a bad one for us. So we have to really discount the performance for this year.” “Hopefully, 2021, will look like what 2020 should have ideally looked like in terms of our 10-year target plan and five-year vision plan given that whatever targets we attached for 2020 were failing miserably,” he quipped. In 2021, ICAT will look to recover as it factors an additional year in its future roadmap by starting afresh.
