INDUSTRY OVERVIEW
The Indian Rubber Industry is broadly divided into Tyre and Non Tyre Sectors. India is the 6th largest producer of natural rubber, 2nd largest consumer of natural rubber, 5th largest consumer of natural rubber and synthetic rubber together in the world.
Domestic Tyre Industry fulfils practically 100% requirement of tyres making it a true champion of Aatma Nirbhar Bharat. Nearly 30% of the total domestic tyre production was exported in FY22. Some of the domestic tyre companies are already amongst the top 30 global tyre companies. Tyres play an integral role to ensure mobility including movement of passengers and essential goods across the urban and rural landscape of the country using all types vehicles ranging from carts, tractors, trucks and buses to the latest generation passenger cars that ply on the modern expressways. Various types of tyres are manufactured in India that includes Moped tyre weighing 1.5 Kg to Off the Road tyres for Earthmovers which weigh 1.5 tonnes, Bias Ply tyres to rugged all steel radial truck tyres to high performance passenger car radial and tubeless tyres etc. India is one of the few countries worldwide which has attained self-sufficiency in manufacturing a wide range of tyres for all applications.
In India, the total production of Rubber (NR: 775000 MT & SR: 485165 MT) is 120165 MT in FY 202122, whereas the total consumption of Rubber is (NR 1238000 MT & SR is 723145 MT) is 1961145 MT in FY 21-22 leading to overall gap of 700980 MT of Rubber. The rate of increase in production is observed to be lower than that of consumption over the FY 2020-21 Initiative is already taken to increase the rubber plantation in North-Eastern region to meet the shortfall of the rubber consumption.
Import of natural rubber was 4.10 lakh tonnes in FY 2020-21 and crossed the five-lakh tonne mark again in FY 2021-22 to touch 5.46 lakh tonnes, which is 33% increase.
The Rubber Goods Industry excluding tyres and tubes consists of 6711 small and tiny units generating about 6.00 lakh direct jobs. The rubber industry manufactures a wide range of products like rubber cots and aprons, contraceptives, footwear, rubber hoses, cables, camelback, battery boxes, latex products, conveyor belts, surgical gloves, balloons, rubber moulded goods etc. The main raw materials used by the rubber goods manufacturing industry are Natural Rubber, various types of Synthetic Rubber, Carbon Black, Rubber Chemicals etc. The estimated export of rubber goods during 2022-23 is 13661 crores (approx) as against 12718 crores in 2021-22. The estimated of import of rubber goods during 2022-23 is 24970 crores (approx).
Reclaim Rubber production stood at 151195 MT while the consumption stood at 150470 MT.
The Rubber industry is committed to implement sustainable development goals towards carbon neutrality. The Ministry of Environment, Forest and Climate Change has introduced a new amendment called the Hazardous and other Wastes (Management and Transboundary Movement) Amendment Rules 2022 (hereinafter referred to as "Amendment Rules" for "Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR) for Waste Tyre" which came into effect from July 21,2022. EPR is referred as the responsibility imposed on producers of tyres to ensure environmentally and sound management of waste tyre so as to protect the health and environment against any adverse effects which may result from such waste tyre.
Rubber Industry majorly comprising MSME units are considered to be very conservative and hence, does not spend much on R&D and QC activities having limited exposures to global best practices and slow in adopting changes.
GOVERNMENT INITIATIVES
The Government of India encourages foreign investment in the automobile sector and has allowed 100% FDI under the automatic route.
Some of the recent initiatives taken by the Government of India are -
In February 2022, Nitin Gadkari, Minister of Road Transport and Highways, revealed plans to roll out Bharat NCAP, Indias own vehicle safety assessment program.
In February 2022, 20 carmakers, including Tata Motors Ltd, Suzuki Motor Gujarat, Mahindra and Mahindra, Hyundai and Kia India Pvt. Ltd, were chosen to receive production-linked incentives (PLI) as part of the governments plan to increase local vehicle manufacturing and attract new investment. The 20 automobile companies have proposed a total investment of around Rs. 45,000 crore (US$ 5.95 billion).
In the Union Budget 2022-23, the government laid out the following initiatives:
The government introduced a battery-swapping policy, which will allow drained batteries to be swapped with charged ones at designated charging stations, thus making EVs more viable for potential customers.
Indias National Highways would be expanded by 25,000 km in 2022-23 under the Prime Ministers Gati Shakti Plan.
In November 2021, the Union Government added >100 advanced technologies, including alternate fuel systems such as compressed natural gas (CNG), Bharat Stage VI compliant flex fuel engines, electronic control units (ECU) for safety, advanced driver assist systems and e-quadricycles, under the PLI scheme for automobiles.
In September 2021, the Union Minister for Road, Transport and Highways, Nitin Gadkari announced that government is planning to make it mandatory for car manufacturers to produce flex-fuel engines after getting the required permissions from the Supreme Court of India.
In September 2021, the Indian government issued notification regarding a PLI scheme for automobile and auto components worth Rs. 25,938 crore (US$ 3.49 billion). This scheme is expected to bring investments of over Rs. 42,500 (US$ 5.74 billion) by 2026, and create 7.5 lakh jobs in India.
In August 2021, Prime Minister Narendra Modi launched the Vehicle Scrappage Policy, which aims to phase out old polluting vehicles in an environmentally-safe manner.
The Indian government has planned US$ 3.5 billion in incentives over a five-year period until 2026 under a revamped scheme to encourage production and export of clean technology vehicles.
As of June 2021, Rs. 871 crore (US$ 117 million) has been spent under the FAME-II scheme, 87,659 electric vehicles have been supported through incentives and 6,265 electric buses have been sanctioned to various state/city transportation undertakings.
OPPORTUNITIES, THREATS AND CONCERN
Opportunities in areas such as testing, certification and R&D infrastructure for leveraging the potential of the industry. Alternately, research spending for import substitutions is very low and there is an opportunity to increase. Even though there are several schemes floated by the government specifically for the sector, but for a reason mentioned above, the adaptation due to slow to low uptake of changes opportunities provided to the industry further impacts the output and aggravates the challenges. Further, The foundation for success for such integrated players has been laid GOIs introduction of Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR) for Tyres and Plastics, apart from other 9 sectors of the economy. The regulation has prompted brand owners and material manufacturers to invest along with material recovery and recycling companies for improved value addition. India could be a leader in shared mobility by 2030, providing opportunities for electric and autonomous vehicles. Focus is shifting to electric vehicles to reduce emissions. The electric vehicles industry is likely to create five crore jobs by 2030. Government aims to build India into a R&D hub.
Non-availability of raw materials like synthetic rubber in India is one of the major challenges which needs to be addressed by bringing appropriate technology collaboration / Joint ventures to facilitate Make in India.
OUTLOOK
With focus on sustainability at its peak, demand for recycled materials remains robust across the company. We continue to be confident of improve of market share of companies business by increased substitution and new product introductions. The Tyre industry experts in India are expecting an uptick in the market for next 3 years on back of available new capacities, anticipated economic and infrastructure growth and internationally rubber consumption is expected to notably recover driven by expected growth in auto sector and rebound in China.
