European automotive group Stellantis has announced an investment of approximately INR 40 billion (EUR 400 million) to scale its Indian operations under its FaSTLAne 2030 strategy. The commitment brings the manufacturer's cumulative capital deployment in India to INR 150 billion by 2030.

The roadmap outlines 12 vehicle introductions over the next three years across its Jeep and Citroen brands, comprising 7 new models and 5 major product upgrades. The releases will span the B, C and D SUV segments, alongside a multi-purpose vehicle, an A-segment car and a pickup truck.

The initial product under the expanded plan is scheduled for commercial launch in Q2 of 2027. Powertrain options will include internal combustion engines, hybrid, plug-in hybrid and battery-electric platforms, supported by a target local component sourcing level of 90 percent across its manufacturing plants in Ranjangaon, Thiruvallur and Hosur.

Tianshu Xin, COO, Stellantis Asia-Pacific Region, said, "India has a dual role for Stellantis: it is an important market that we intend to grow in, and an increasingly significant capability base for the region and the wider Group. India is a long-term commitment for us, not just a volume chase. Under FaSTLAne 2030, our region-led model gives the India team greater ownership of decisions, and the roadmap we are announcing today reflects our long-term conviction in this market. A stronger product cadence, a multi-energy technology approach and India’s capabilities across manufacturing, engineering, software and sourcing give us the foundation to build a larger and more competitive business here through 2030."

Shailesh Hazela, CEO & MD, Stellantis India, said, "Our commitment to India will be measured by what we put on the road. Having built a strong foundation over the years, our focus now shifts to scaling the business. Twelve launches across Jeep and Citroën over the next three years will significantly broaden our market participation and give Indian customers more choice across segments and powertrains, supported by deeper localisation and a stronger sales and service network. With fresh investment of approximately ₹5,000 crore, we are building greater scale, relevance and competitiveness in this market, while strengthening India’s role in Stellantis’ global operations."

The investment phase expands on the INR 110 billion previously deployed by Stellantis in India for manufacturing facilities, software development centres in Bengaluru, ICT hubs in Hyderabad and regional component export channels.

The Society of Indian Automobile Manufacturers, the apex body representing automakers across segments in the country, has released the wholesales data for Q2 FY2027, which saw record performance across passenger vehicles, commercial vehicles, three-wheelers and two-wheelers.

In Q2 FY2027, the passenger vehicle segment domestic sales reached 1.36 million units, up 30.7 percent YoY. Sports Utility Vehicles (SUVs) accounted for 68 percent of total passenger vehicle sales, recording a growth of 34.2 percent, while passenger car sales increased by 24.9 percent. Passenger vehicle exports declined by 5.2 percent to 229,087 units, impacted by logistics constraints in West Asia and higher baseline comparison figures.

The two-wheeler segment posted domestic sales of 6.43 million units, registering a growth of 15.2 percent YoY. Scooter sales increased by 27.7 percent, while motorcycle sales rose by 7.4 percent. Two-wheeler exports reached a record Q2 total of 1.65 million units, marking an increase of 27.7 percent over the same period last year.

In the three-wheeler category, domestic sales grew by 23.6 percent to 285,342 units, driven by demand for cargo configurations and electric L5 vehicles. Three-wheeler exports reached a record Q2 total of 161,060 units, representing a 30.4 percent increase. The commercial vehicle segment recorded domestic sales of 309,063 units, marking a growth of 28.7 percent, while commercial vehicle exports rose by 72.5 percent to exceed 41,416 units, supported by infrastructure spending and fleet replacement demand.

Shenu Agarwal, President, SIAM, said, "The Indian automotive industry delivered a strong performance in the first half of FY2026-27, following a robust second quarter and a strong September 2026. This stellar performance across all segments of the automobile industry has been supported by improved affordability following GST 2.0, resilient rural and urban demand, healthy freight movement, infrastructure-led economic activity, and a gradual replacement cycle across vehicle segments. The electric vehicle ecosystem also continues to mature with multiple offerings, improving charging infrastructure and supportive policy measures. At the same time, alternative fuel technologies are witnessing increasing acceptance and are expected to play an important role in India's sustainable mobility transition. Industry looks forward to the festive season for the continued momentum while remaining cautiously optimistic due to prevailing geo-economic uncertainties. Continued investments in infrastructure, sustained economic growth, and rising adoption of cleaner and more efficient mobility solutions are expected to support industry growth through the second half of 2026-27."

FADA Academy, in collaboration with the Automotive Skills Development Council (ASDC), has inaugurated its first joint skill development centre in Agra.

Located within the dealership facilities of Ashok Auto Sales and Manoram Bajaj Group, the Autograd Regional Skill Development Centre establishes a training framework situated directly inside automotive retail operations.

The facility aims to address workforce gaps in automotive retail by providing candidates with training matched to dealership job roles. The initial cohort at the centre consists of candidates undergoing instruction for the Service Advisor role, supported by participating dealerships representing brands including Bajaj Auto, TVS Motor Co, India Yamaha Motor and Tata Motors.

C S Vigneshwar, Chairman of FADA Academy & Research, said, "FADA Academy is committed to strengthening the capabilities of India's automotive retail workforce through industry-relevant education and training. The establishment of our first joint training centre with ASDC at Agra is an important milestone in this journey. By bringing training into the dealership environment, we can create a stronger connection between learning and actual workplace requirements. Our vision is to create local employment opportunities, support the talent requirements of dealerships and provide aspiring professionals with a foundation for long-term career progression within the automotive sector. We also want to ensure that candidates are not merely trained to secure a job, but are equipped to perform with confidence, deliver value to their employers and build long-term careers in the automotive industry. We hope this initiative will serve as a replicable model for dealership-led skill development across the country. The automotive sector is evolving rapidly, driven by new technologies, changing customer expectations and increasingly sophisticated dealership operations. This makes industry-aligned skill development more important than ever. The FADA Academy–ASDC joint training centre at Agra is a progressive initiative that brings structured training closer to the workplace and enables candidates to develop competencies relevant to their designated job roles."

The inauguration event was attended by Union Minister of State Prof. S. P. Singh Baghel, ASDC Chief Executive Officer Prasanna Pahade, FADA Uttar Pradesh Chairperson Sandeep Narain and leadership representatives from local dealer groups. The initiative forms part of a broader framework intended to be replicated across other regions to train dealership personnel.
