US President Donald Trump's announcement of reciprocal tariffs has raised concerns, but experts suggest India's auto component industry may not be severely impacted. The industry's limited exports to the US and heavy localization are expected to insulate it from major effects. However, some companies with significant US exposure, like Sansera Engineering and Motherson Group, are exploring workarounds to mitigate potential impacts. While the auto ancillary sector might face challenges, the overall impact on Indian automakers is expected to be minimal due to their focus on domestic sales and limited US exports. The industry remains cautious and is closely monitoring developments.
