"Despite the slow offtake in vehicles sales due to supply side issues, especially in the first quarter, the auto component industry demonstrated a remarkable turn-around in the first-half of FY 2021-22. With significant growth in all segments -- supply to OEMs, exports as also the aftermarket, the component industry grew to Rs 1.96 lakh crore registering 65 per cent growth," Sunjay Kapur, President, ACMA, said in a statement. Imports of auto components grew by 71 per cent from Rs.37,710 crore in the first half of 2020-21 to Rs 64,310 crore in the first half of 2021-22.

<keyword id="6359783" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="bajaj-auto" source="Orion">Bajaj Auto</keyword> Ltd is ramping up <keyword id="22637" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="production" source="Orion">production</keyword> of its electric scooter <keyword id="409918" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="chetak" source="Orion">Chetak</keyword> to touch around 10,000 units a month by June, having overcome supply chain constraints as it gradually expands the sales network of the brand, according to a senior company official. The company plans to have around 150 exclusive outlets for the Chetak electric scooter by September, and is taking a calibrated expansion keeping in mind the uncertainty over the extension of FAME II scheme for promotion of electric vehicles beyond this fiscal. "We are trying to get to 10,000 (units) by June. It is a supply chain issue," <keyword id="6358511" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="bajaj" source="Orion">Bajaj</keyword> <keyword id="32870" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="auto" source="Orion">Auto</keyword> Executive Director Rakesh Sharma said here on the sidelines of opening of an exclusive Chetak showroom. The company has reached 5,000 units at present and next month, it will try to get to 7,000 units, he said, adding after that Bajaj Auto would assess how the demand is coming to plan future production roadmap. Sharma said the company had faced problems earlier due to over dependence on certain vendors, who could not supply some parts. "That we sorted out by the first quarter and it is giving us some confidence...," he said. Bajaj Auto Urbanite Business Unit President Eric Vas said the company had suffered production constraints due to the transition to the new battery norm AIS 156B, which came into effect from April 1 for enhanced safety. The constraints have been resolved to a large extent. "So, we think we will be back to normal production, in terms of production meeting our requirements of the number of stores we are opening possibly by middle to end of May and after that it is purely driven by what we want, we will get," he added. At present, the waiting period for Chetak is around 20 to 25 days, Vas said, adding, from May onwards, it would come down to three to five days. On network expansion, Vas said Chetak sales network currently spans across 88 towns through 105 dealerships. "By September, we hope to have around 150 exclusive outlets in 120 towns," he said, adding, the company would look at the market and calibrate again for expansion beyond these. Vas said a key factor for taking such an approach is the uncertainty over the continuation of the FAME II scheme, which was extended till March 31, 2024. "One of the things which we should have better clarity on sometime by September is what happens to FAME II after March (2024). I think a lot of things depend on that output," he said. When asked if FAME II scheme should be continued, he said the industry is of the opinion that cost of EVs will go up significantly if the subsidy is stopped and manufacturers could not afford to fully absorb the increased prices. "I think prices will go up. It will stop the growth of the industry and that is why I'm saying we (Bajaj Auto) need to calibrate very carefully when we're opening (new stores for Chetak)," Vas said. When asked about the outlook for fiscal 2023-24, Sharma said, if the supply holds out and the demand keeps picking up, along with the network expansion, Bajaj Auto could touch a total of 1 lakh electric two-wheelers between Chetak and what it supplies to electric mobility platform Yulu.

Auto Expo: Cars That Promise To Be Showstoppers

The search giant Google has started rolling out a new update for the <a href="https://www.businessinsider.in/tech/news/android-auto-will-replace-with-google-assistant-driving-mode-in-android-12-phones/articleshow/85447812.cms" data-type="tilCustomLink">Android Auto</a> app that finally brings dual SIM support. With the new update, <keyword id="2374214" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="android-auto" source="Orion">Android Auto</keyword> now shows a pop-up that lets users choose which SIM they want to make a call from. Earlier, it would automatically place the call using the default SIM regardless of the phone's dual-SIM support, reports XDADevelopers. Google first detailed dual SIM support coming to Android Auto back in September. At the time, the tech giant said that it would start rolling out the feature soon. As per report, the dual SIM support is rolling out with the <keyword id="3370369" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="android-auto-app" source="Orion">Android Auto App</keyword> version 7.1.614554. One can update Android Auto to the latest version from the Google Play Store. One can also get the latest APK from APKMirror. Earlier, YouTube Music available on Android Auto also received one of its biggest redesigns adding navigation tabs and more. As a part of the YouTube Music 4.30.50 Android app, this redesigned interface for Android Auto is a "fairly major shift" from the old interface. By far the biggest change in the new YouTube Music interface on Android Auto is the four navigation tabs across the top. There are four tabs in total, the first being a "Home" tab which includes shortcuts to recently played media. Beyond just navigation, though, this new YouTube Music design for Android Auto also spruces up the main UI with more visual elements.
