Indian auto industry, along with its global peers, continues to face issues in the supply of semi-conductors. In fact, commenting on auto sales and registrations during February, two prominent industry bodies highlighted the issue of unavailability of semi-conductors. Ratings agency CRISIL, however, feels the shortfall in semi-conductors would remain till the first quarter of FY2022 before the supply is normalised.
According to data from the Society of Indian Automobile Manufacturers (SIAM) while the sales numbers in February are encouraging, on a cumulative basis, there is a decline. Between April 2020 and February 2021, total 161,42,637 units were sold compared with 197,65,500 units sold in the same period a year ago, it says.
Operations at South Korean steelmaker Posco s plant in the Indian state of Maharashtra have been disrupted due to local protests over labour and other issues, police and sources told Reuters, hampering the supply chain for automakers. A local politician leading the protests said they have blocked employees and goods from entering the plant and will continue until Posco heeds to some of their requests which include giving employment preference to local workers, raising the wages of temporary employees and making them permanent. Supply of steel from Posco s Maharashtra plant has been seriously affected and production for carmakers is likely to come to a standstill if the issue is not resolved soon, the country s top auto industry body said in a March 10 letter addressed to the state s chief minister.
