BW Businessworld, India's premier business magazine releases its latest edition that provides an exhaustive examination of the country's automotive sector, a Rs 20 lakh crore industry that stands as one of the most critical pillars of India's economic transformation. As the nation races toward its ambitious USD 5 trillion economy target, this issue positions the automotive industry not merely as a mobility provider, but as a catalyst for manufacturing excellence, export growth, clean energy adoption and technological leadership on the global stage.
Disruption And Reinvention
The edition arrives at a watershed moment for India's automotive landscape, where traditional manufacturing paradigms are being disrupted by electric vehicle adoption, supply chain diversification and the emergence of India-born global players alongside established multinational corporations that are increasingly viewing the country as their strategic hub. The issue meticulously documents how the automotive sector, which contributes over 7 per cent to India's GDP, accounts for nearly 50 per cent of the manufacturing GDP and represents close to 8 per cent of the nation's exports, is fundamentally reshaping India's industrial trajectory.
Voices Of Change
Central to this edition are exclusive, in-depth interviews with industry titans who are steering this transformation. Rajesh Jejurikar of Mahindra & Mahindra provides insights into the explosive early market response to the company's electric SUV portfolio, revealing strategic decisions that have positioned the homegrown manufacturer at the forefront of India's EV revolution. The issue also features Sulajja Firodia Motwani, one of the rare woman founders in the automotive space, who articulates Kinetic Green's ambitious blueprint for creating inclusive and environmentally sustainable urban transportation solutions that address India's unique mobility challenges.
The international perspective is equally compelling, with Vikram Pawah of BMW Group India offering his vision of a technology-agnostic future where consumer preferences will be driven by value proposition rather than traditional brand loyalties. Nissan's Saurabh Vatsa presents a detailed roadmap of how the Japanese automotive giant is strategically positioning India not just as a significant domestic market, but as a high-potential global export hub that leverages the country's manufacturing capabilities and cost advantages. Volvo's Jyoti Malhotra contributes critical insights into the infrastructure and ecosystem partnerships that remain essential for accelerating electric vehicle adoption across India's diverse geographical and economic landscape.
Precision In Pixels And AI-first Future
Beyond the automotive focus, the issue secured rare access to BenQ's Colour Fidelity Lab in Taiwan, providing readers with a behind-the-scenes exploration of the precision technology and scientific methodologies that power professional-grade displays used by designers, filmmakers and engineers worldwide. The visual journey into colour calibration science underscores Taiwan's continued centrality to global display innovation and its relevance to India's growing design and creative industries.
The technology coverage extends to comprehensive analysis of Apple's WWDC 2025, where next-generation AI integrations across iOS and macOS platforms were unveiled. The detailed examination covers on-device AI capabilities and Siri's evolution as a productivity partner, offering Indian developers and users crucial insights into Apple's expanding AI vision.
India’s Rising EV Corridor
The issue provides granular analysis of regional developments, particularly Tamil Nadu's emergence as an electric vehicle corridor, supported by strategic policy interventions including the Production Linked Incentive scheme and FAME-II program. These frameworks are examined as interconnected building blocks of India's next industrial wave, with assessments of sustaining momentum, ensuring policy consistency and scaling future capabilities.
The coverage balances immediate market dynamics with long-term structural trends, providing readers with both tactical intelligence and strategic foresight necessary for navigating this rapidly evolving landscape.
