Starting from Samvardhana Motherson International, we walked the supply graph hop by hop to the goods you buy and the companies you own. Each step is the engine’s reasoning, scored for confidence and cited where a source backs it.
First impact
CIE Automotive (Mahindra CIE) – India Forgings →Prices riseSteel Forgings (Axles, Gears, Shafts)
The FTA’s larger export quota should lift output at Mahindra CIE’s India Forgings, increasing demand for its steel forgings input; the pass-through is moderated by only a 4% share and moderate substitutability.
63% confidenceSona BLW Precision Forgings Ltd. (Sona Comstar) →Prices riseSteel Forgings (Axles, Gears, Shafts)
If the India-EU FTA lifts export-driven auto production and component orders for Sona Comstar, its demand for steel forgings rises; the effect is muted by the small 5% dependency and moderate substitutability, so it mainly shows up as mild input price pressure.

Vehicle wiring harnesses →supply upThe FTA’s larger export quota directly expands vehicle output, and wiring harnesses are a critical input to vehicles with 0.88 dependency strength.
79% confidenceVehicle wiring harnesses →Stands to benefitSumitomo Electric Industries / Sumitomo Wiring Systems
Higher vehicle production should lift wiring-harness demand, benefiting this 15% share supplier with 18-month replacement lead times for alternatives.

Vehicles and light trucks →Prices riseThe export-led production lift directly increases demand for wiring harnesses, a highly embedded vehicle input.
83% confidenceVehicles and light trucks →Prices riseAutomotive-grade semiconductors (MCUs, SoCs, power devices)
Higher vehicle export volumes under the FTA raise build rates and tighten demand for critical auto semiconductors.

Automotive-grade semiconductors (MCUs, SoCs, power devices) →Stands to benefitRenesas Electronics6723.T
Renesas supplies about 30% of automotive-grade semiconductors, so higher vehicle export volumes should lift orders to it materially.
85% confidenceAutomotive-grade semiconductors (MCUs, SoCs, power devices) →Stands to benefitInfineon also holds a 12% supply share with long replacement lead times, making it a clear beneficiary of stronger automotive-chip demand.
