Auto sourcing
FAQs

Do you support PPAP Level 3 / Level 4 submissions?

Yes. All Magnus IATF 16949 suppliers are PPAP capable up to Level 4 (full documentation submission). We coordinate PPAP package preparation including FMEA, control plan, process flow, MSA, capability studies, dimensional, material certs, AAR (Appearance Approval Report) where required.

Can you handle safety-critical components?

Yes. We work with IATF 16949-certified suppliers experienced in safety-related components such as steering and brake parts, with full PPAP documentation, traceability, and controlled processes. Requirements are reviewed case by case.

How does India compare to Mexico for US OEMs?

For ferrous castings, forgings and machining, India is typically more cost-competitive than Mexico on landed cost, while Mexico offers shorter transit times to the US. Many US OEMs split their sourcing: Mexico for time-critical parts, India for cost-critical parts. We benchmark both at quotation so you can compare real numbers.

What about EV-specific sourcing?

India's EV component industry is growing rapidly, supported by the government's PLI incentive scheme. Magnus works with suppliers building EV-specific components: battery pack housings, motor housings, BMS enclosures, charging port assemblies, and busbars — at highly competitive costs.
