Ahmedabad: India’s Detroit is changing gears. After top car-makers, Gujarat will now house one of country’s biggest component parks.
Automotive Component Manufacturers Association of India (ACMA), the nodal agency for the country’s auto component industry, plans to set up its first supplier park over 1,100 acres of land, preferably in Ahmedabad.
In a first, ACMA, which has about 700 members contributing 85% of the total output in the organised sector, will hold its executive committee meeting in Ahmedabad in June. The park aims to bring together automotive component manufacturers, suppliers and service providers in one location to achieve synergies and cost benefits.
Vinnie Mehta, executive director, ACMA, said, “This is a special meeting as Ahmedabad was not earmarked for the meeting when ACMA planned its year. The meeting and plan to set up the automotive suppliers’ park in the state is recognition of Gujarat as an emerging hub for auto.”
About 55 auto component manufacturing companies, including Setco Automotive, Bajaj Motors among others, have expressed interest in setting up units in the park. The investment details are being finalised.
“Almost all members of ACMA want to set up units in the park. We would like to be an integrated park, which will be a concentration of all aspects important to the auto industry,” said Mehta. Analysts say the slowdown may prompt car-makers to marginally delay their plans but Gujarat’s best is yet to come.
