Being a critical element of the OEM value chain, the Indian auto component industry is expected to grow from $49 billion in FY 2020 to $200 billion by 2026. However, technological backwardness is still a persistent problem in the Indian auto component manufacturing industry. The industry faces a slew of technologically demanding challenges in the areas of emissions, safety, and electric mobility, for which they have to opt for internationally developed alternatives. This is where Him Teknoforge comes in.
Headquartered in Baddi, Himachal Pradesh, Him Teknoforge is actively involved in technological upgradation. Speaking of numbers, Him Teknoforge has witnessed a growth of 10-12 percent, even during the time of global economic slowdown during Covid in the fiscal year 2020- 21 because of its technological enhancement and customer centric approach.
With the Changing Pace
The automobile industry is witnessing nothing but a roller coaster ride, with factors like Covid outbreak, global demand for carbon footprint deduction, and waste elimination. The auto sector is basically going through a major transition all the
way from the production to operation of the entity.
