 CONSOLIDATED PROJECT FOR SME DEVELOPMENT

UNIDO has more than 25 projects in India and one of the most innovative projects is the
“Consolidated Project for SME Development in India”. Financed by the Italian Government,
this project has identified three manufacturing sectors and some clusters for its
implementation:

1. Auto Components (Chennai, Pune and NCR)

2. Leather (Chennai)
3. Footwear (Chennai, Agra) and leather goods (Shantiniketan)

The Project has also concluded some strategic partnerships with many industrial
associations like:
Confederation of Indian Industries (CII), Delhi, Pune and Chennai, Auto Components
Manufacturers Associations (ACMA), Ambattur Industrial Estate Association (AIEMA), Indian
Shoe Federation (ISF), Indian Finished Leather Manufacturers & Exporters Association
(IFLMEA)

Chambers of Commerce like:

Mahratta Chamber of Commerce, Industries and Agriculture (MCCIA), Indo-Italian Chamber
of Commerce, Industry and Agriculture (IICCIA),

Financial Institutions like:

Small Industries Development Bank of India (SIDBI), SIDBI-Venture Capital (SIDBI-VCL),
Indian Banks Association (IBA), Indian Venture Capital Association (IVCA), and government
institutes like: Micro, Small and Medium Enterprises - Development Institute (MSME-DI),
Chennai.

This project has three components. They are:

• Cluster twinning
• Investment and Technology Promotion
• Mutual Credit Guarantee schemes

The objective of this programme is to build common processes and intuitions for the small

1. Indian Automobile Industry

The automobile industry in India is the tenth largest in the world with an annual production
of approximately 2 million units. India
is expected to overtake China as the
world's fastest growing car market in
terms of the number of units sold and
the automotive industry is one of the
fastest growing manufacturing sectors
in India. Because of its large market
(India has a population of 1.1 billion;
the second largest in the world), a low
base of car ownership (25 per 1,000
people) and a surging economy, India
has become a huge attraction for car
manufacturers around the world.

Though several major foreign automakers,

like Ford, Suzuki, GM, and Honda have their
manufacturing bases in India, Indian
automobile market is dominated by
domestic companies. Maruti Suzuki is the
largest passenger vehicle company; Tata
Motors is the largest commercial vehicle
company while Hero Honda is the largest
motorcycle company in India. Other major
Indian automobile manufacturers include
Mahindra & Mahindra, Ashok Leyland and
Bajaj Auto.

The automotive industry directly and indirectly employs 13 million individuals in India. The
industry is valued at about US$ 35 billion contributing about 3.1% of India's GDP (nominal).
India's cost-competitive auto components industry is the second largest in the world. In
addition, India's motorcycle market is also the second largest in the world with annual sales
of about 5 million units.

2. Automobile Sector in India

9. Problems Identified

(i) Marketing Issues.

12
Investment and Technology Transfer Promotion Unit, UNIDO, India
 • Lack of common representative institution in the region.
• One low profile exhibition organized every year.
• No common promotional material other than the promotional material of the
Pune auto Cluster.

(ii) Technical issue

• Pune auto cluster provides the best technical services at the lowest cost. This
technical institution are quiet useful for the vehicle manufactures and the tier
I companies and not below them.
• The utilization has been so low that some of the machines have been rented
out on the premises to the SME’s to arrive at the break even.
• CII is strongly connected with the auto component companies in the region
with strong technical relationships.
• However their technical services like training programmers have few takers.

(ii) Infrastructure problems

• The Auto cluster is dispersed over a circumference of about 150 miles.
• Dispersed Migration of the Auto component industries away from the city
• Lack of port facilities for export and import have been a major handicap
however this has not deterred the international majors in setting up the
production centers in Pune.
(iii) Other Issue
• Unorganized nature, lack of mutual trust.
• Basic Ex. Duty high
• Local sales taxes vastly differing state to state

10. Cluster Vision

It is envisioned that the cluster would produce 10 billion USD worth auto components in 5
years.

11. Action Plan

Creation of the automotive sector group including a few vehicles manufactures in the
region.
The company information system and the sub-contracting and partnership exchange to be
managed by Confederation of Indian Industries.

The commercial match making for B2B meetings would be managed by the MCCIA using the
SPX database.

A sustainability plan to be prepared by the Auto sector group consisting of the

representatives of various associations.

12. SWOT Analysis
