Technology related statements:
Lighting technology in the Indian automotive industry is undergoing a rapid transformation driven by the shift toward premiumisation, safety regulations, and energy e ciency. OEMs are adopting LED, projector, and DRL-based architectures even in entry and mid-segment vehicles, improving visibility, styling di erentiation, and power consumption. The rise of EVs is accelerating
this change, with OEMs leveraging full-width LED signatures, animated welcome sequences, and intelligent light controllers to create brand identity and enhance user experience. At the same time, the supply base is moving toward higher local value addition in optics, drivers, and semiconductors, while preparing for next-gen technologies such as adaptive beam arrays, micro-LED modules, and connected lighting that integrates with ADAS and telematics
Our automotive ecosystem is undergoing a sweeping technology transformation with no just electrification but with digitization, and intelligent electronics reshaping vehicle architectures and also playing a change agent role with Manufacturing Excellence. OEMs are transitioning from mechanically dominant platforms to software-defined, electronics-heavy designs powered by advanced power electronics, high-energy battery systems, domain controllers, and
connected vehicle stacks. This shift is complemented by the rise of ADAS, cybersecurity frameworks, OTA-enabled electronics, and data-driven lifecycle management. Simultaneously, Tier-1s are moving up the value chain-localizing semiconductors, sensors, and ECUs; expanding capabilities in embedded software and powertrain electronics; and adopting automation and AI-enabled manufacturing.
The Lumax group must continue evolving from a traditional component manufacturer into a holistic electronics-driven systems provider, aligning with the rapid shift toward intelligent, software-enabled mobility. This transformation requires deepening capabilities in advanced lighting electronics, sensors, actuators, and integrated mechatronic systems while strengthening in-house competencies in embedded software, power electronics, and semiconductor-driven architectures. Lumax should move toward modular, platform-ready
solutions-such as intelligent lighting modules, ADAS-aligned sensing components, electronics centric, and connected body-control systems, supported by robust design, validation, and cybersecurity frameworks. At the same time, investing in R&D partnerships, local electronics ecosystems, and digital manufacturing will be critical to improving innovation speed, cost competitiveness, and resilience, enabling Lumax to play a larger role in India’s transition to future-ready, software-defined vehicles.
In a world where vehicles are becoming more than machines, evolving into digital platforms and lifestyle extensions, Lumax Group’s technical expertise is the silent force driving this transformation. For employees, partners, and customers alike, it’s a story of pride, purpose, and progress.
