From nimble two-wheelers navigating crowded streets to premium SUVs rolling off fully automated lines, India has emerged as the world’s fourth-largest vehicle producer, and the fastest-growing among the top five. Government incentives such as the Production-Linked Incentive (PLI) scheme for advanced automotive manufacturing and the FAME-II program for electric mobility are drawing record capital into EV platforms, battery plants, and smart factories, positioning India as a global hub for next-generation drivetrains. Behind the showrooms, energy remains a decisive operational lever. Paint ovens, pretreatment baths and test cells rely on energy-hungry burners, blowers and chillers, so energy costs weigh heavily on each vehicle’s manufacturing margin. At the same time, OEMs must hit ever-tighter CO₂-per-vehicle targets set by regulators and global parent companies.
How Spectrum International Helps
Paint-shop ovens and phosphating lines can integrate Spectrum’s HHO skids as auxiliary equipment, exploiting the technology’s fuel-flexibility and automatic switch-over features to improve burner efficiency during high-load curing cycles without halting just-in-time production.
