An expectation mismatch exists between OEMs and suppliers on the approach to develop suppliers product development capabilities
Suppliers Expectations
Government policies
OEMs Expectations
Explore joint development opportunities with suppliers Share resources and financial risks India specific product development can be best done in India Honour commitments during design/development phase
Expectation Mismatch
Suppliers should build capabilities in basic areas Problem solving Design understanding Program management Invest in testing facilities Collaborate with other suppliers to provide a system solution Provide proven products
To take advantage of affordable R&D and develop India as an integrated hub, OEMs and suppliers need to increase collaboration for mutual benefit

Industryinstitute tie-up is an essential part of the ecosystem, wherein Institutes provide basic and applied research input
Government policies
Industry-Institute relationship is more mature in Germany and UK, where development, prototyping happens. It is mandatory for institutes to do applied research Industry Institute Interaction While few institutions have started focusing on applied research, institutional R&D is piecemeal and applied research is largely missing
Industry is ahead of the level of manpower provided by institutes; Indian engineers need 3 years of on-job training as compared to 3 months in Germany
Pre-competitive or basic research is happening in India wherein Industry and institutes interact for common minimum programs
There has been an effort towards improvement of testing and validation infrastructure in India The testing infrastructure is insufficient for Indias product development ambitions Visionary OEMs and suppliers have not waited for infrastructure to come up, they have invested in own advanced testing facilities
