As India’s automotive aftermarket evolves with electrification, digitalisation and rising customer expectations, Tata AutoComp Automotive Aftermarket is expanding its product portfolio, strengthening customer engagement and preparing for the next generation of mobility solutions.
India’s automotive aftermarket is undergoing a significant transformation as vehicles become more advanced, customer expectations continue to rise and mobility technologies rapidly evolve. Sharing his vision for 2030, Mr. Shanmugavel Devarajan, Head – Tata AutoComp Automotive Aftermarket, believes the industry will increasingly be driven by organised players that combine product quality, technical expertise and customer-centric solutions.
“The future aftermarket will be defined by quality, trust, innovation and customer-centric solutions across the entire vehicle lifecycle,” said Mr. Devarajan. “Customers will increasingly choose partners who consistently deliver performance, reliability and long-term value.”
Raising the Benchmark for the Automotive Aftermarket
According to Mr. Devarajan, vehicle owners, workshops, retailers and fleet operators are placing greater emphasis on durable, safe and value-driven products that maximise vehicle life and minimise downtime. As vehicles remain on the road longer, dependable aftermarket components backed by strong technical support and assured quality will become increasingly important.
He believes organised aftermarket companies will play a much larger role in shaping the industry’s future by offering wider product coverage, professional support and consistent customer experience. At the same time, digitalisation, supply chain efficiency and sustainability will redefine the sector through enhanced traceability, faster service delivery and more responsible business practices.
Emerging trends such as electrification, connected vehicle technologies, circular economy practices, workforce upskilling and stronger global-local partnerships will further accelerate the evolution of India’s aftermarket ecosystem.
Expanding Product Portfolio for Tomorrow’s Mobility
Looking ahead, Tata AutoComp Automotive Aftermarket is focused on building a differentiated “House of Aftermarket Solutions” that delivers confidence through quality, innovation and customer empowerment. The company is expanding product coverage across multiple vehicle segments while accelerating new product development to meet changing market requirements.
Leveraging Tata AutoComp’s manufacturing expertise and technology capabilities, the business is also preparing for the growing EV market through dedicated electric vehicle components while exploring opportunities in the rapidly expanding DIY (Do-It-Yourself) segment with easy-to-install products supported by digital guidance and enhanced customer engagement.
“Our ambition is to be recognised among India’s most respected aftermarket brands by 2030,” Mr. Devarajan shared. “By combining product excellence, technology, sustainability and nationwide reach, we aim to deliver future-ready aftermarket solutions that support customers throughout the evolving mobility landscape.”
