NEXUS Automotive International Establishes NEXUS India to Accelerate Aftermarket Growth

NEXUS Automotive International has announced the creation of NEXUS Automotive India to support the development of new business opportunities for the N! Community across the country.

With a population of over 1.4 billion, a growing fleet of more than 50 million passenger vehicles, and an automotive aftermarket turnover exceeding EUR 10 billion, India is a key market for the global automotive aftermarket, especially for N! Suppliers*.

The creation of NEXUS Automotive India responds directly to the growing demand from N! members and suppliers for a structured presence in the country.

NEXUS Automotive India will address the specific needs and challenges of the Indian automotive aftermarket, accelerating growth for the local N! Community while capturing a significant share of this rapidly expanding market.

Built on the strength of its founding members – TVS as strategic equity partner, Smart Parts Exports, Maya Trading Corporation, Poomkudy Agencies, Recauto India, United Motors, BKS Motors, Daulat Motor Company and Surya Sales Corporation – the new national organisation will:

  • Build a strong, collaborative aftermarket ecosystem in India aligned with NEXUS global standards.
  • Accelerate and support the growth of the local N! Community.
  • Capture a significant market share.
  • Connect renowned aftermarket manufacturers with the Indian market.
  • Create new opportunities for Indian manufacturers to export their products globally through the NEXUS network.

The organisation will initially focus on supplier integration, member development and the deployment of NEXUS strategic initiatives.

The creation of NEXUS Automotive India has been well received by key suppliers, with the first partnerships already underway.

N! Suppliers will benefit from accelerated market access, enhanced local partnerships and a structured platform to support sustainable growth in India.

Working closely with local members and partners, NEXUS Automotive India will strengthen the Indian N! Community, drive strategic growth and create sustainable value for members and partners. Its leadership will ensure that N! India’s national priorities remain fully aligned with the NEXUS Group strategy, reinforcing innovation, operational excellence and long-term growth.
