将电动汽车放在首位，印度汽车公司计划在2021年投资130亿美元
在过去12个月的市场震荡中，近50家公司提议在印度汽车行业投资超过988亿卢比。大约一半的总投资都投在了电动汽车上，这表明老牌企业和新来者都选择在内部开发这些技术，而不是追求无机增长。
新德里:据报道，新冠肺炎疫情在全球范围内是一代人以来最严重的经济衰退之一，汽车行业受到了严重打击。在疫情爆发后的20个月里，国内汽车行业的消费者和员工的行为和期望发生了重大转变。
在全球大流行到来之前，随着技术改变了业务流程、模型和战略，汽车oem习惯于稳定的预算增长。COVID-19完全改变了他们对技术、未来流动性和相应的方法投资．
疫情还暴露出供应链的主要弱点，包括需求激增和下降、大宗商品短缺、生产率下降、交货延误以及储存和产品处理问题。因此，COVID-19为采用有弹性的内部供应链和管理解决方案打开了眼界。因此，汽车工业的利益相关者匆忙地在当地作出安排。
“2021年，很多投资都投向了整个价值链的数字化。投资的主要部分是电动汽车的产品开发，并相应地调整生产结构。针对即将出台的安全和排放法规，投资也进入了产品的开发周期，”野村综合研究所(Nomura Research Institute)合伙人兼业务绩效改善咨询部门主管阿西姆•夏尔马(Ashim Sharma)表示。
在这一年的市场震荡中，汽车oem在印度的所有交易类型中投资超过130亿美元(988亿卢比)，其中最突出的是电动汽车。结合传统企业和初创企业，近一半的总投资(约4820亿卢比)用于电气架构开发。
在中短期内，oem和初创公司更关注电动汽车和未来的移动性，而供应商则在技术升级和软件资源上投入更多。
市场观察人士表示，在大流行导致的一段时间的放缓导致支出低迷之后，消费者情绪从2021年1月开始回升。这促使公司领导加快支出。
在此期间，汽车行业也见证了微芯片供应链的中断。这场危机还在继续，一个不可避免的问题应该被提出，即半导体危机是否会影响或逆转未来几个月的研发和技术支出战略。
以下是推动今年投资进程的一些趋势:
投资得到了电气:在整个大流行期间，对未来移动技术的投入持续不断。研究表明，总投资中约48%(约4820亿卢比)用于绿色和未来交通及相关基础设施发展，特别是在新冠疫情危机之后。
这是由于围绕自动化、连通性、电气化和智能移动(ACES)功能的大量电池驱动电力推进技术开发和系统集成。根据ETAuto Research的数据，除ACES外，电动汽车已成为投资的主要特征，特别是在电池技术和管理系统、电动马达和电力电子方面。
随着新时代公司的出现，电气化也得到了重大推动。汽车行业约90%的初创公司都在开发与电动汽车相关的产品。
然而，这与2020年初形成鲜明对比，当时电子出行领域被强调为受新冠肺炎影响最严重的领域之一。
软件是核心:尽管企业在几乎所有领域都大幅削减了支出，但大多数汽车制造商(oem)和一级供应商的技术预算都在增加。在研发领域的支出中，公司已经在软件和软件相关功能开发上分配了大量预算。总体而言，这一投资趋势突显了汽车行业的焦点已经发生了转移，无论是从OEM还是供应商的角度。由于软件开发在未来汽车中的重要作用，利益相关者一直把软件开发放在最前面。
汽车导航软件、多操作信息娱乐系统、内置网络安全和自动ADAS解决方案一直是吸引汽车制造商关注的重点领域。
自动化是公司转移软件预算的另一个领域。劳动力短缺要求组织寻找自动化流程、车间车间和减少人工参与的机会。
创业公司取得了成功:根据Research的数据，在过去12个月里，非现任企业在未来移动领域的投资超过了1541.5亿印度卢比。尽管数额很小，但初创企业社区团结起来，以其所知的最佳方式——通过创新和更新技术——抗击冠状病毒危机。这些有风险资本支持的新来者正是通过快速采用数字技术来应对危机的人。
尽管目前的销量有限，但预计电动汽车将大幅增长。政府专注于绿色交通，我们有理由期待这一领域的初创公司涌入，他们形成了该领域超过32%的投资。
相比之下，传统汽车公司占了67.7%，约为3.28亿印度卢比，占今年电动汽车总投资的比例。
供应链中断推动了内部能力:疫情对供应链的影响更为明显。供应链方面的担忧非常严重，不仅是因为COVID-19，还因为地缘政治紧张局势、微芯片短缺，甚至苏伊士运河被堵塞。
原始设备制造商已经意识到，供应端的不确定性可能会阻碍与可持续性相关的创新采用。因此，他们开始投资新工厂和生产线，并加快在电动汽车、电池和替代能源方面的投资。
尽管最近市场波动，但需求继续快速增长。除了初创企业，现有企业试图通过投资走出衰退后的复苏——将资金投入投资不足的基础设施——以及越来越多的致力于脱碳，正推动乘用车需求出现多年未见的强劲势头。
例如，在时隔15年之后，印度最大的汽车制造商马鲁蒂铃木印度公司宣布，计划在哈里亚纳邦投资1.8万亿卢比建设一座新建工厂，年产量最高可达100万辆
同样，菲亚特克莱斯勒汽车公司(FCA)的印度分公司表示，它打算花费190亿卢比扩大其产品线，生产四款吉普品牌的新suv。
结论:在过去的一年里，流动性投资者强调了变化的速度越来越快，因为COVID-19危机给本已具有挑战性的形势增加了新的复杂性。这意味着，包括现有企业、科技巨头和投资者在内的所有移动行业利益相关者都有很短的时间为颠覆做好准备。因此，有必要了解市场的动向和原因，然后相应地调整你的资金。

New Delhi: By all accounts, COVID-19 pandemic globally has been one of the worst economic downturns in a generation, and the auto sector was hit to the hilt. In the past 20 months, after the onset of the pandemic, the domestic auto industry has seen a major shift in the behaviour and expectations of the consumers and employees.
Before the global pandemic struck, auto OEMs were accustomed to steady budget increases as technology transformed business processes, models, and strategies. COVID-19 totally changed their approach to technology, future mobility and corresponding investments<\/a>.
The pandemic also exposed the major supply chain weaknesses, including demand surges and drops, commodity shortages, reduced productivity, delivery delays and storage and product handling issues. Consequently, COVID-19 became an eye-opener for the adoption of resilient in-house supply chain and management solutions. And so, the stakeholders of the automotive industry rushed to make local arrangements.

<\/div><\/div>\"In 2021 a lot of investments have gone into digitisation across the value chain. A major part of the investments was on product development for electric vehicles and tweaking the manufacturing setup accordingly. Investments have also gone into the development cycles of the products for the forthcoming safety and emission regulations,\" Ashim Sharma, partner and group head - business performance improvement consulting, Nomura Research Institute, said.

In a year of market oscillation, auto OEMs recorded over USD 13 billion (~INR 98,800 crore) investment in India across all deal types, the most prominent being for electric mobility. Combining both the legacy players and the startups, almost half of the gross investments (~ INR 48,200 crore) was on electrical architecture development.
While OEMs and startups focused more on electric and future mobility in the short-to-medium term, suppliers spent more on technological upgrades and software resources.
After a period of pandemic-induced slowdown that resulted in subdued spending, market watchers say that consumer sentiments started looking up from January, 2021. This prompted company leaders to expedite spending.
During this period, automotive industries also witnessed disruption in the supply chain of microchips. This crisis continues, and an unavoidable concern should be raised on whether the semiconductor crunch will influence or reverse the R&D and the tech spending strategies in the coming months.

<\/div><\/div>Here are some trends that drove the course of investments this year:<\/em>
Investments got electrified:<\/strong> Spending towards future-mobility technologies continued throughout the pandemic. Research shows that about 48% (~INR 48,200 crore) of the total investments was in green and future mobility and related infrastructure development, especially in the aftermath of the COVID crisis.
This is due to the massive number of battery-operated electric propulsion technology developments and system integration around automation, connectivity, electrification, and smart mobility (ACES) features. Out of ACES, e-mobility has emerged as the main feature of investment according to ETAuto Research, particularly around battery technology and management systems, e-motors, and power electronics.
<\/figure>
Electrification also got a major boost with the advent of new age companies. About 90% of startups in the auto industry are working and developing products related to EVs.
This, however, draws a sharp contrast to the early days of 2020 when e-mobility space was highlighted as one of the most negatively impacted areas due to COVID-19.
Software was at the core: <\/strong>Although businesses made substantial cuts in spending in almost every category, there were increasing technology budgets for most of the automakers (OEMs) and tier-1 suppliers. In the R&D areas of spending, companies have been allocating substantial budgets on software and software-related feature development. Overall, the investment trend highlights that the focus has been shifting in the automotive industry, both from the OEM and the supplier perspectives. Stakeholders have been placing software development at the forefront due to its important role in the vehicle of the future.
Vehicle navigation software, multi-operating infotainment systems, built-in cybersecurity and autonomous ADAS solutions have been among the focus areas drawing the attention of the automakers.
Automation is another area where companies diverted their software budget. Workforce shortages required organisations to look for opportunities to automate processes, shop floors and to reduce human involvement.
Startups made a mark:<\/strong> The non-incumbents, according to the Research, have made over INR 15,415 crore of investments on future-mobility in the last 12 months. Though the quantum is small, the startup community rallied to fight the Coronavirus crisis in the best way it knew\u2014with innovations and updated technologies. These venture capital-backed newcomers were the ones who responded to the crisis with the fast adoption of digital technologies.
<\/figure>
Although current volumes are limited, EVs are expected to grow in a big way. With the government focus on green mobility, it is reasonable to expect the influx of startups in this area and they form over 32% of investments in this space.
<\/figure>
Comparatively, traditional automotive companies accounted for 67.7%, or roughly INR 32,800 crore of the total investment on electric mobility this year.
<\/figure>
Supply-chain disruption pushed in-house capabilities: <\/strong>A more perceptible impact of the pandemic has been on the supply chain front. Supply chain concerns were radical not only because of COVID-19 but also because of geopolitical tensions, microchip shortages, and even the blockage of the Suez Canal.
OEMs have been aware of the fact that supply-side uncertainties may hinder sustainability-related innovation adoption. Therefore they started investing in new plants, production lines, and accelerated spending on electric vehicles, batteries and alternative energy.
Despite the recent market choppiness, the demand continues to grow very fast. Apart from startups, the attempt by incumbent companies to spend their way out of a post-recession recovery \u2013 by pouring money into under-invested infrastructure \u2013 and a growing commitment to decarbonisation are fuelling a robust demand in passenger vehicles not seen in years.
For instance, after a gap of over 15 years, India's largest carmaker Maruti Suzuki India announced its plan to spent INR 18,000 crore in a greenfield factory in Haryana with a peak annual capacity of 10 lakh units
Similarly, the Indian wing of Fiat Chrysler Automobiles (FCA) showed its intention to spend INR 1,900 crore in expanding its product line to manufacture four new SUVs under the Jeep brand.
<\/figure>
Conclusion:<\/strong> In the past year the mobility investors underscored the growing pace of change as the COVID-19 crisis added a new layer of complexity to an already challenging situation. This suggests a short window of time for all mobility stakeholders, including incumbents, tech giants, and investors, to prepare their businesses for disruption. It is therefore necessary to understand where the market is moving and why, and then move your capital accordingly.
