The Automotive Component Manufacturers Association of India (ACMA) has appointed Sriram Viji, Managing Director, Brakes India Pvt Ltd, as President for the 2026–27 term. Anjali Singh, Executive Chairperson, ANAND Group and Gabriel India, has been appointed President-Designate.
The new leadership takes charge at a time when the Indian auto component industry is facing changes in global supply chains, technology and mobility. ACMA said the sector will need to strengthen domestic capabilities while expanding its role in global automotive value chains.
Welcoming the appointments, Vinnie Mehta, Director General, ACMA, said the experience of Mr Viji and Ms Singh would help the association work with the government and industry partners on key issues affecting component manufacturers. He said the industry needs to diversify supply chains, improve access to critical raw materials and strengthen India’s position in global automotive manufacturing.
Sriram Viji said it was an honour to lead ACMA as India works to become a trusted partner in global automotive value chains. “Our priority is to deepen local capabilities and accelerate investment in advanced technologies, R&D and innovation, while embedding sustainability across the industry,” Mr Viji said. He added that the growth of electric vehicles, connected vehicles and new-energy mobility is creating new opportunities for Indian component manufacturers.
Mr Viji said the industry must not only respond to changes in mobility but also play a role in developing new technologies and products. He said ACMA would work with its members to strengthen India’s position as a global manufacturing centre for high-value automotive components and next-generation mobility solutions.
The Indian auto component industry has been expanding its presence in both domestic and international markets. Manufacturers are increasingly supplying components to global vehicle makers and participating in international automotive supply chains.
ACMA represents the interests of India’s auto component industry and has more than 1,064 member manufacturers. Its members account for more than 90% of the organised auto component industry’s turnover. According to ACMA, the combined turnover of India’s auto component industry stood at $80.2 billion in FY2025. The industry recorded exports of $22.9 billion and a trade surplus of $500 million during the year.
The association works with industry and government stakeholders on issues including manufacturing, technology, trade, investment, sustainability and the development of the automotive supply chain. The new leadership is expected to focus on strengthening the industry’s domestic manufacturing base while supporting investments in research, development and advanced technologies. With global vehicle production undergoing major changes, ACMA said Indian component manufacturers have an opportunity to increase their role in electric, connected and other emerging mobility technologies.
