New Delhi: Vehicle market leader Maruti Suzuki India Restricted (MSIL) has found a 6X progress in profits proportion for its automatic transmission (AT) variants in the time span of a decade.
Shashank Srivastava, executive director, Maruti Suzuki, said, Again in 2011, it was about 1% to two% and at this time the firm’s profits proportion for AT is about 11%-12%. However it may differ for unique products. For Swift it is 15%-18%, WagonR sixteen%, S-Presso twenty%, and for Celerio 31%. There are products like Eeco which do not have AT and consequently Maruti Suzuki’s typical stays lower.
The company’s AT profits proportion is bigger in the urban places than in the rural marketplaces. This is due to the fact of the urban congestion, significant cost of autos with AT, and the unique portfolios of cars bought in urban places.
Profits proportion of AT variants in rural places is six.4% (in the products the place automatic is offered) for the present fiscal. The ace AT products for Maruti Suzuki in FY20-21 and FY 21-22 have been Celerio AGS and XL6.
MSIL introduced Celerio in 2014, its initially auto with dual-pedal engineering. It was introduced with Vehicle Shift Gear (AGS) engineering, which was the automaker’s way of calling Automatic Guide Transmission (AMT) engineering. Now its portfolio delivers 12 products with unique automatic transmission technologies of AGS, AT and CVT.
| AGS | S-Presso | WagonR | Celerio | Ignis | Swift | Dzire |
| AT | Ertiga | Vitara Brezza | Ciaz | S-Cross | XL6 | |
| CVT | Baleno |
A large amount has improved more than the years in the engineering, structure and engineering of the vehicle industry. An location that has transformed with time and engineering is car or truck transmission, shifting from handbook to automatic, which in by itself is a multi-billion industry.
A research by Fortune Company Insights also exhibits that the international automotive transmission market is projected to grow from USD 96.98 billion in 2021 to USD 146.fifty seven billion in 2028 at a CAGR of six.08%. The increase in CAGR is estimated on the basis of return of the market to normalcy after surviving the pandemic.
According to Brajesh Chhibber, Companion, McKinsey & Company, profits proportion of AT in the Indian vehicle industry is 15% to 25%. In the next 5-seven years, practically fifty% of all autos bought will have AT and in the next ten to 15 years, most cars will be electrical.
Hemal Thakkar, director, CRISIL India, also said that in the next 5-seven years, the share of handbook transmission (MT) will arrive down to 60%-65%. Just one of the main good reasons for this is the client preference for electrical cars whose profits are on the increase.
A gearbox that develops electrical power and torque at unique RPMs is one of the main variations in between EVs and ICE cars. An electrical motor does not will need to create electrical power and melt away fuel. So the end-and-go driving conditions do not operate, for this reason EVs do not need handbook transmission.
For Tata Motors, market leader in the EV section, profits of AMT and MT are 19% and 81% respectively for YTD FY22. The split was fourteen% and 86% respectively in FY20. Nexon is the company’s optimum providing product in MT and AMT.
Chibber said most people in India choose MT for its selling price edge. Most of the European brands go for DCT and most Japanese brands decide for CVT and AMT. Although DCT is ten moments costlier than AMT, it offers a sleek driving experience.
Some people who decide for MT are also skeptical about adopting a new engineering, he additional.
Overheating in tropical places like India can be damaging for AT (DCT) in autos. Lubricants may possibly shed viscosity, which can result in bigger inner element friction, fast wear-and-tear and premature transmission failure, an industry veteran said.
It is encouraged to change to neutral at end points like site visitors alerts to enable the transmission great down and be protected, he said.
The cost change in between MT and AMT in the Indian vehicle industry is about INR forty,000 to INR 60,000 while in between MT and DCT/CVT/AT ranges from INR 80,000 to INR two lakh, Thakkar said.
The share of AMT variants is about twenty% in the industry. For CVT/DCT/AT it is about 8%-ten%. “While DCT is negligible, CVT and AT have a bigger share. However, likely ahead the share of DCT is expected to boost in cars in the selling price bracket of INR 8 lakh and INR 15 lakh,” he said.
“I consider that largely people who drive for pleasure choose MT, while others who use autos as a useful car or truck, to go from one point to another with comfort and relieve of driving, choose AT,” Srivastava of MSIL said.
Tata Motors said, “Customers who want a comfortable driving in metropolis site visitors choose AMT. MT is far more in need for efficiency improvement.”
According to Thakkar, among the young era, 25%-30% are initially-time buyers and they decide for bigger section autos. On an typical, people down below forty choose AT. People higher than that age, who choose to be chauffeur-driven and want to appreciate rear seat driving, largely go for MT, Thakkar said.
Hyundai’s iMT engineering is also comparable to AMT for the entry-stage auto section, he said.

In our progressively digitised entire world, the connected car or truck pattern may possibly be even larger than what meets the eye. On the other hand, ADAS (State-of-the-art Driver Aid Method) is progressively generating inroads in India and has superior progress scope, but may possibly need far more attempts for the engineering bouquet to produce the intended rewards.
The automotive technologies market will be driven by the rising adoption of ADAS characteristics in cars, according to a the latest report. The market is expected to grow by USD 134.06 bn from 2020 to 2025, as for each Technavio.
