5th Annual Automotive R&D & Innovations India Summit 2025
The Indian automotive market was valued at USD 108.10 billion in 2022 and is projected to grow from USD 116.86 billion in 2023 to USD 217.90 billion by 2031, at a CAGR of 8.1% during the forecast period (2024-2031). According to research, India's automotive industry is expected to reach USD 50 billion (Rs. 3.7 lakh crore) by 2030. India's automotive sector is expanding due to regional contributions from North, South, East, and West India, fostering manufacturing hubs and policy initiatives aimed at establishing the country as a global automotive leader. This industry will benefit from associated sectors such as oil & gas, semiconductors, and green hydrogen.
Vehicle penetration is expected to reach 72 vehicles per 1,000 people by 2026, supported by a ₹20 lakh crore package promoting manufacturing. The key trends include a shift towards emission-free, renewable-energy-powered vehicles and AI-driven, self-driving vehicles that reduce reliance on public transport. Cost-effective mobility solutions through shared fleet services, smart vehicle communication with traffic infrastructure and occupants, and regular hardware and software updates will cater to evolving user needs.
Inventicon presents the 5th Annual Automotive R&D & Innovations India Summit 2025, focusing on advancements in automotive technology, sustainability, green initiatives, future mobility, automobile infrastructure, connected and autonomous vehicles. The summit will also address challenges such as changing consumer preferences, increasing competition, and evolving regulations and foster collaboration among industry experts and facilitate the exchange of ideas to shape the future of the automotive industry.
