Mumbai: India’s automotive aftermarket is defining a new phase of growth driven by policy reforms, rising investments and rapid technology adoption. According to the Automotive Component Manufacturers Association of India (ACMA), the auto component industry is currently valued at USD 80.2 billion in FY25, with the automotive aftermarket accounting for USD 11.8 billion today. The component industry is projected to grow to USD 111–200 billion by 2030. As localisation deepens and export opportunities expand, the auto component and aftermarket industries are emerging as reliable and competitive partners in global aftermarket value chains.
Against this backdrop, ACMA Automechanika New Delhi 2026, organised by Messe Frankfurt Trade Fairs India & ACMA is scheduled to take place from 5 to 7 February 2026 at Yashobhoomi, the India International Convention and Expo Centre (IICC), Dwarka, Delhi.
Driven by initiatives such as Make in India, Production Linked Incentive schemes and FDI reforms, the automotive aftermarket and auto components industry continues to attract strong investor interest. Industry estimates point to sustained investments led by capacity expansion, electric mobility and exports, reinforcing India’s role as both a manufacturing and innovation hub.
