Yet ties between the two countries&#8217; carmaking industry are only growing.<\/div><div>Tata Motors said earlier in June it will use Chery&#8217;s carmaking platform to manufacture premium EVs in India. The deal doesn&#8217;t involve an equity stake, and both companies stressed it is a supply arrangement without any transfer of technology know-how to Tata, highlighting the political sensitivities.<\/div><div>India ramped up scrutiny of Chinese businesses after a 2020 border clash between the two countries killed soldiers on both sides. While New Delhi \u200band Beijing are working to improve ties, some friction remains.<\/div><div>&#8220;If India wants to expand its manufacturing sector and be a bigger part of the global supply chain, partnership with China is inevitable. \u200bIf Chinese companies want to be global leaders, they cannot wish away India and its economic potential,&#8221; said Santosh Pai, partner at law firm Dentons \u2060Link Legal.<\/div><div>For Tata, India&#8217;s third-largest automaker, Chery&#8217;s platform offers a quicker way to launch EVs. Tata plans to eventually shift from relying on imported kits from China to developing components locally &#8211; a move seen \u200bfavourably by some Indian policymakers because it would boost Indian manufacturing.<\/div><div>&#8220;We are supportive of deals that lead to more local manufacturing or supply-chain shifts down the road. That is a good way to approach China,&#8221; \u200bsaid a senior Indian government official.<\/div><div>For Chinese carmakers grappling with a slowdown at home and excess manufacturing capacity, such deals could be the answer to boosting revenue without violating Beijing&#8217;s export control orders.<\/div><div>Tata (TAMO.NS)<svg><\/svg><span>, opens new tab<\/span> and Chery (9973.HK)<svg><\/svg><span>, opens new tab<\/span> did not respond to requests for comment.<\/div><h2>GROWING MARKET<\/h2><div>The Tata-Chery deal shows that, despite its best efforts, India can&#8217;t keep China&#8217;s EV industry completely out.<\/div><div>The world&#8217;s most advanced EV industry is likely to continue to make inroads into India, a huge and still growing market.<\/div><div>That&#8217;s bad \u200bnews for Japanese automakers and others who are investing big in India \u2013 in part because they don&#8217;t face major competition from Chinese rivals there now.<\/div><div>Chinese EV makers understand the importance of gaining a foothold \u200bin India through such supply deals, said Gao Hua, a former director at China SAE and now an independent analyst.<\/div><div>&#8220;If Chinese firms don&#8217;t participate, others from different countries will step in,&#8221; Gao said.<\/div><div>Chinese partnerships are increasingly appearing in \u200csectors long \u2060dominated by Japanese, Korean and European firms, and they are challenging the incumbents with technologies that many analysts say are cheaper and faster to deploy.<\/div><div>For instance, Indian component maker Uno Minda (UNOI.NS)<svg><\/svg><span>, opens new tab<\/span> has a joint venture with China&#8217;s Inovance (301656.SZ)<svg><\/svg><span>, opens new tab<\/span> to manufacture EV powertrains in India &#8211; a sector where Bosch (BOSH.NS)<svg><\/svg><span>, opens new tab<\/span>, Nidec (6594.T)<svg><\/svg><span>, opens new tab<\/span> and Aptiv (APTV.BN)<svg><\/svg><span>, opens new tab<\/span> are already present.<\/div><h2>BATTERY CO-OPERATION HALTED<\/h2><div>Technology licensing deals between India and China started to gain traction in the aftermath of the 2020 investment restrictions.<\/div><div>But it wasn&#8217;t all smooth sailing. In 2025, Beijing&#8217;s export control curbs in retaliation to Trump&#8217;s tariffs, forced Indian battery maker Amara Raja (AMAR.NS)<svg><\/svg><span>, opens new tab<\/span> to end its licensing deal with China&#8217;s Gotion (002074.SZ)<svg><\/svg><span>, opens new tab<\/span> for \u200blithium-ion cell technology for EV batteries.<\/div><div>&#8220;All technical collaboration \u200bhas stopped,&#8221; Amara Raja&#8217;s executive director Vikramadithya Gourineni \u2060told Reuters.<\/div><div>&#8220;The main things we were able to take away was understanding on factory and line layouts, technology roadmaps &#8230; and connecting to the vendor base,&#8221; Gourineni said.<\/div><div>Because the licensing deal was no longer possible, Amara Raja is instead ramping up investment in in-house R&amp;D and talent, he said.<\/div><div>The company is now importing \u200bequipment, battery cells and other material from Chinese suppliers to meet its cell manufacturing ambitions, but it struggles to get enough visas for engineers \u200bto come from China for \u2060operational support.<\/div><h2>CHERY&#8217;S OTHER INDIAN PARTNER<\/h2><div>Last year, steel-to-cement billionaire Sajjan Jindal&#8217;s maiden carmaking venture, JSW Motor, agreed to a partnership with Chery similar to Tata&#8217;s.<\/div><div>Under the deal, JSW has secured rights to use and adapt multiple Chery platforms to build a range of hybrids and EVs for India, sources familiar with the plans told Reuters. This involves an upfront payment of about 20 billion rupees ($209 million) plus royalties, one of the people added.<\/div><div>JSW, which \u2060is investing $3 billion \u200bin the venture, is targeting sales of 300,000 vehicles by 2030, the sources said.<\/div><div>The initial vehicles will largely come as imported \u200bkits from Chery with JSW gradually building out an Indian supply chain and scaling up car production at its factory in western India, they added.<\/div><div>JSW Motor and Chery did not respond to requests for comment.<\/div><div>&#8220;This highlights the importance of nuanced approaches. Cutting \u200bties is not always the best option,&#8221; Gao said.<\/div><div><address><div><div><noscript>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"120\" height=\"120\" alt=\"Aditi Shah\" class=\"wp-image-2475\" src=\"https:\/\/reliablemovingcrews.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/5b077ce5ad84cd44bfcc3fd6255e58f3.avif\"\/><\/figure>\n<\/noscript><\/div><div>Aditi Shah<\/div><\/div><div><ul><li><span><div><svg><title>Email<\/title><\/svg><\/div><\/span><\/li><li><span><div><svg><title>X<\/title><\/svg><\/div><\/span><\/li><li><span><div><svg><title>Linkedin<\/title><\/svg><\/div><\/span><\/li><\/ul><\/div><\/address><\/div><\/div><p>Read more <a href=\"https:\/\/reliablemovingcrews.com\/?p=2804\">Conley wins Democratic primary to take on Republican Congressman Mike Lawler in New York<\/a><\/p><p>Read more <a href=\"https:\/\/reliablemovingcrews.com\/?p=2802\">Vatican rejects proposal to allow sermons by Catholic women<\/a><\/p><p>Read more <a href=\"https:\/\/reliablemovingcrews.com\/?p=2800\">Rubio kicks off Middle East trip as allies seek answers on Iran<\/a><\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Chinese automakers may be shut out of India, but their electric-vehicle technology is starting to make inroads in \u200bthe world&#8217;s third-largest car market.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":2805,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2],"tags":[57,140,121],"class_list":["post-2806","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-news","tag-emerging-markets","tag-ev-battery","tag-supply-chain"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.6 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>Chinese EV makers are shut out of India - but their tech isn&#039;t - Reliable Moving Crews<\/title>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/reliablemovingcrews.com\/?p=2806\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"Chinese EV makers are shut out of India - but their tech isn&#039;t - Reliable Moving Crews\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"Chinese automakers may be shut out of India, but their electric-vehicle technology is starting to make inroads in \u200bthe world&#039;s third-largest car market.\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:url\" content=\"https:\/\/reliablemovingcrews.com\/?p=2806\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:site_name\" content=\"Reliable Moving Crews\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:published_time\" content=\"2026-06-24T07:10:01+00:00\" \/>\n<meta name=\"author\" content=\"admin\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:card\" content=\"summary_large_image\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:label1\" content=\"Written by\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:data1\" content=\"admin\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:label2\" content=\"Est. reading time\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:data2\" content=\"4 minutes\" \/>\n<script type=\"application\/ld+json\" class=\"yoast-schema-graph\">{\"@context\":\"https:\\\/\\\/schema.org\",\"@graph\":[{\"@type\":\"Article\",\"@id\":\"https:\\\/\\\/reliablemovingcrews.com\\\/?p=2806#article\",\"isPartOf\":{\"@id\":\"https:\\\/\\\/reliablemovingcrews.com\\\/?p=2806\"},\"author\":{\"name\":\"admin\",\"@id\":\"https:\\\/\\\/reliablemovingcrews.com\\\/#\\\/schema\\\/person\\\/34f02a869ba60b78ae3d994f205e0d24\"},\"headline\":\"Chinese EV makers are shut out of India &#8211;
