Moving up the value chain key for MSMEs to capture the clean mobility opportunity

Who it hits first

• Auto-component suppliers (many MSMEs) that upgrade from low-value ICE subcontracting to high-value EV/clean-mobility parts, assemblies and electronics gain a structural medium-term tailwind.
• Legacy ICE-only subcontractors that fail to upgrade face gradual share loss as OEMs localize EV content.

Who may gain

• EV-powertrain electronics and motor makers (SEDEMAC, IGARASHI), e-bus / EV-platform builders (OLECTRA, JBMA, TIINDIA via TI Clean Mobility), and precision/forging suppliers moving up the chain (BHARATFORG, GABRIEL, CRAFTSMAN).
