wp-elements-29e37c55ce14e72b23b824c35965eda0 wp-block-paragraph\">Every electric vehicle sold is one less catalytic converter needed, and that simple fact has led to plenty of predictions that the industry making them is on borrowed time. The picture on the ground is more complicated. In India especially, electric sales are growing quickly in some segments and barely moving in others, emission rules are about to tighten again, and several large vehicle categories have no practical electric option yet.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Catalytic converters will not disappear as EVs scale. Demand will shrink in segments that electrify fastest, such as three-wheelers and small city cars, while hybrids, CNG vehicles, trucks, buses, tractors, construction machinery and generator sets keep needing them for many years. At the same time, stricter norms like BS VII and Euro 7 are making each converter more demanding to build, so the industry shifts from high volume toward higher performance, more variants and tighter quality.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Where Electrification Actually Stands in India<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Headlines about EV growth are accurate, and they can hide how unevenly it is spread across vehicle types.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table\"><table class=\"has-fixed-layout\"><thead><tr><th><strong>Segment, FY 2025-26<\/strong><\/th><th><strong>Electric sales<\/strong><\/th><th><strong>What it means for catalysts<\/strong><\/th><\/tr><\/thead><tbody><tr><td>Two-wheelers<\/td><td>About 14 lakh, roughly 6.5 percent of the segment<\/td><td>More than 93 percent of two-wheelers sold still need a converter<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Three-wheelers<\/td><td>About 8.3 lakh, around 61 percent of the segment<\/td><td>The segment shifting fastest away from engines<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Passenger vehicles<\/td><td>About 2 lakh, up 84 percent<\/td><td>Strong growth from a small base; most cars sold still use engines<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Commercial vehicles<\/td><td>About 19,600, up 122 percent<\/td><td>Diesel aftertreatment remains the norm for trucks and buses<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>All vehicles<\/td><td>About 24.5 lakh, 8.3 percent of sales<\/td><td>Roughly nine in ten new vehicles still burn fuel<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Those figures, for FY 2025-26, show the real shape of the transition. Three-wheelers are already majority electric. Two-wheelers, by far the largest segment, are electrifying steadily but still sold more than 2 crore combustion models last year. Electric car sales nearly doubled but remain a small share of the market. And across all vehicles, more than nine in ten new purchases still need exhaust aftertreatment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-link-color wp-elements-f21d21247ad0960d54dcdb1409990ef9 wp-block-paragraph\">For converter manufacturers, that means demand from new vehicles is not falling off a cliff. It is being reshaped segment by segment, at very different speeds.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:25px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full has-custom-border\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1546\" height=\"892\" src=\"https:\/\/www.cybernetik.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/Quality-Control-in-Catalytic-Converter-Manufacturing.webp\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-3176\" style=\"border-top-left-radius:5px;border-top-right-radius:5px;border-bottom-left-radius:5px;border-bottom-right-radius:5px\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.cybernetik.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/Quality-Control-in-Catalytic-Converter-Manufacturing.webp 1546w, https:\/\/www.cybernetik.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/Quality-Control-in-Catalytic-Converter-Manufacturing-300x173.webp 300w, https:\/\/www.cybernetik.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/Quality-Control-in-Catalytic-Converter-Manufacturing-1024x591.webp 1024w, https:\/\/www.cybernetik.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/Quality-Control-in-Catalytic-Converter-Manufacturing-768x443.webp 768w, https:\/\/www.cybernetik.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/Quality-Control-in-Catalytic-Converter-Manufacturing-1536x886.webp 1536w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1546px) 100vw, 1546px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Emission Rules Are Getting Tougher, Not Easier<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">While electric sales rise, the vehicles that still burn fuel face stricter limits.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>BS VII in India<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Ministry of Road Transport and Highways has said the draft of BS VII norms is expected soon, with the new standard broadly aligned to Euro 7 and adapted to Indian conditions. Reports indicate it will regulate emissions from CNG vehicles more strictly and monitor ammonia from light and heavy vehicles, alongside real-world emissions checking. Final timelines will depend on the published notification, but the direction is clear: combustion vehicles will need cleaner, longer-lasting aftertreatment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Euro 7 in Europe<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Euro 7 keeps tailpipe limits for cars broadly in line with Euro 6 but raises the bar elsewhere. Vehicles must meet the limits for much longer, around 10 years or 200,000 km, and onboard monitoring has to detect faults that would push emissions over the limit. For converter makers, the durability requirement matters most, because a catalyst that performs well when new but ages quickly no longer passes. Exporters supplying European vehicle makers feel this directly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Fuel efficiency rules<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">India\u2019s next corporate average fuel economy rules, CAFE III, are due from April 2027. Tighter fleet-wide carbon targets push manufacturers toward hybrids as well as EVs, which matters for catalysts, as the next section explains.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Hybrids Make the Job Harder, Not Easier<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A hybrid still has an engine, and that engine still needs a catalytic converter. What changes is the conditions it works under.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In a hybrid, the engine switches off and on frequently, sometimes many times on a single trip. Each time it stops, the catalyst starts cooling. When the engine restarts, the converter may be below its working temperature, and emissions in those first moments are largely untreated. In a conventional car the engine warms the catalyst once and keeps it warm. In a hybrid, the cold start problem repeats throughout the drive.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">That pushes catalyst design in specific directions: converters mounted closer to the engine so they heat faster, coatings that light off at lower temperatures, and in some vehicles electrically heated catalysts that use the hybrid\u2019s battery to warm the brick before the engine starts. Each of these adds complexity and value to the converter rather than removing it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In India, strong hybrids are gaining ground in the car market, particularly among buyers who want lower running costs without depending on charging infrastructure. Every one of them carries a catalytic converter, often a more sophisticated one than the vehicle it replaced.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Segments That Keep Their Converters<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table\"><table class=\"has-fixed-layout\"><thead><tr><th><strong>Application<\/strong><\/th><th><strong>Direction of travel<\/strong><\/th><th><strong>Catalyst outlook<\/strong><\/th><\/tr><\/thead><tbody><tr><td>Small cars and urban two-wheelers<\/td><td>Electrifying steadily, led by scooters and city cars<\/td><td>Declining over time, slowly in India<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Hybrids<\/td><td>Growing in cars, especially where charging is limited<\/td><td>Still need catalysts, often more demanding ones<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>CNG vehicles<\/td><td>Large and growing fleet in Indian cities<\/td><td>Three-way catalysts with tougher methane duty<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Trucks and buses<\/td><td>Electric buses rising; long-haul trucks mostly diesel<\/td><td>Full diesel aftertreatment for many years<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Tractors, construction and gensets<\/td><td>Emission rules tightening<\/td><td>A growing aftertreatment market<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Hydrogen engines<\/td><td>Early trials in heavy transport<\/td><td>Need NOx control such as SCR<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Fuel cells<\/td><td>Early commercial use<\/td><td>Use platinum catalysts of a different kind<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Trucks and buses<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Electric buses are spreading quickly in Indian cities, helped by public procurement, and some urban delivery vehicles are going electric too. Long-haul trucking is different. Battery weight, charging time and the cost of heavy electric trucks keep diesel dominant for long-distance freight, and every BS VI diesel truck carries an oxidation catalyst, particulate filter and SCR system.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>CNG vehicles<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">India has one of the larger CNG vehicle fleets in the world, from city cars and taxis to buses and light commercial vehicles. CNG engines use three-way catalysts, and treating their exhaust is harder than gasoline because methane is a stable gas that needs higher temperatures or more palladium to convert. Stricter CNG rules under BS VII would make these catalysts more demanding still.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Off-road machinery and generator sets<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Tractors, construction equipment and diesel generator sets have historically faced lighter emission rules than road vehicles, and that is changing. As limits tighten for these machines, they move toward the same aftertreatment road vehicles already use. This is one of the few areas where catalyst demand is growing rather than holding steady.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Two-wheelers<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Two-wheelers deserve their own mention because of sheer scale. India sold more than 2 crore of them in FY 2025-26, and over 93 percent still had engines. Electric scooters are gaining ground in cities, while motorcycles used for longer rides, rural travel and load carrying are electrifying more slowly. Most two-wheeler converters use compact metallic substrates, and even a gradual shift leaves a very large number of them needed each year for the foreseeable future.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>The Vehicles Already on the Road<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">New vehicle sales are only part of the picture. India has hundreds of millions of combustion vehicles in use, and they will remain on the road for years after the last ones are sold.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Those vehicles create replacement demand as converters age, get damaged or fail inspections, and tighter in-use checking is likely to increase it. Real-world emissions monitoring, stricter pollution checks in cities and vehicle scrappage policy all push older, poorly performing vehicles toward either repair or retirement.

Together, they show that catalyst coating skills remain useful even as the vehicle mix changes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h1 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Precious Metals and Recycling<\/strong><\/h1>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Catalytic converters use platinum, palladium and rhodium, and those metals are recovered when old converters are scrapped. As combustion vehicles retire over the coming decades, a large and steady supply of used converters will reach recyclers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Two effects follow. Recycled metal reduces dependence on newly mined supply, which has historically been concentrated in a few countries and prone to sharp price swings. And India\u2019s vehicle scrappage policy, which encourages older vehicles off the road, adds to the flow of converters available for recovery. Recycling is likely to become a bigger part of the catalyst economy as new-vehicle demand plateaus.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For manufacturers, precious metal prices remain the biggest cost risk. Using metal efficiently, applying exactly what the specification requires and no more, becomes even more important when volumes are under pressure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>What This Means for Manufacturers<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The likely future is not a sudden collapse but a market that looks different from the one the industry was built for.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n<style>.wp-block-kadence-iconlist.kt-svg-icon-list-items3192_143f89-3b:not(.this-stops-third-party-issues){margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;}.wp-block-kadence-iconlist.kt-svg-icon-list-items3192_143f89-3b ul.kt-svg-icon-list:not(.this-prevents-issues):not(.this-stops-third-party-issues):not(.tijsloc){margin-top:0px;margin-right:0px;margin-bottom:var(--global-kb-spacing-sm, 1.5rem);margin-left:0px;}.wp-block-kadence-iconlist.kt-svg-icon-list-items3192_143f89-3b ul.kt-svg-icon-list{grid-row-gap:35px;}.wp-block-kadence-iconlist.kt-svg-icon-list-items3192_143f89-3b .kb-svg-icon-wrap{font-size:10px;color:#ef8e27;}.wp-block-kadence-iconlist.kt-svg-icon-list-items3192_143f89-3b ul.kt-svg-icon-list .kt-svg-icon-list-item-wrap .kt-svg-icon-list-single{margin-right:10px;}.kt-svg-icon-list-items3192_143f89-3b ul.kt-svg-icon-list .kt-svg-icon-list-item-wrap, .kt-svg-icon-list-items3192_143f89-3b ul.kt-svg-icon-list .kt-svg-icon-list-item-wrap a{line-height:1.2em;}.kt-svg-icon-list-items3192_143f89-3b ul.kt-svg-icon-list .kt-svg-icon-list-level-0 .kt-svg-icon-list-single svg{font-size:20px;}<\/style>\n<div class=\"wp-block-kadence-iconlist kt-svg-icon-list-items kt-svg-icon-list-items3192_143f89-3b kt-svg-icon-list-columns-1 alignnone kt-list-icon-aligntop\"><ul class=\"kt-svg-icon-list\"><style>.kt-svg-icon-list-item-3192_16b0f3-ad .kt-svg-icon-list-text mark.kt-highlight{background-color:unset;font-style:normal;color:#f76a0c;-webkit-box-decoration-break:clone;box-decoration-break:clone;padding-top:0px;padding-right:0px;padding-bottom:0px;padding-left:0px;}<\/style>\n<li class=\"wp-block-kadence-listitem kt-svg-icon-list-item-wrap kt-svg-icon-list-item-3192_16b0f3-ad\"><span class=\"kb-svg-icon-wrap kb-svg-icon-fas_circle kt-svg-icon-list-single\"><svg viewBox=\"0 0 512 512\"  fill=\"currentColor\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\"  aria-hidden=\"true\"><path d=\"M256 8C119 8 8 119 8 256s111 248 248 248 248-111 248-248S393 8 256 8z\"\/><\/svg><\/span><span class=\"kt-svg-icon-list-text\"><strong>More variants, smaller runs. <\/strong>Hybrids, CNG, two-wheelers, trucks, tractors and gensets each need different converters.

A market with more variants needs equipment that switches between substrate sizes, ceramic and metallic types, and coating recipes without long changeovers or large scrap at each switch.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-link-color wp-elements-96e01151ddb24be3b910627a04017f60 wp-block-paragraph\">Metallic substrates deserve particular mention. They are widely used in two-wheelers, the segment still making up the bulk of Indian vehicle sales, and they behave differently from ceramic during coating. How the two substrate types compare is covered in the article on <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cybernetik.com\/blog\/cleantech\/catalytic-converter-substrate\/\">catalytic converter substrates<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Automation helps here in two ways. Recipe-based control lets a line move between products with settings loaded rather than adjusted by hand, and data captured against each part makes it easier to prove that a small batch of a new variant was made correctly. Both matter more in a fragmented market than in a high-volume one.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Questions Worth Asking Now<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For a manufacturer planning the next five to ten years, a few practical questions help turn the trends into decisions. Which customers and segments make up current volume, and how quickly is each one likely to electrify? How long does a changeover take today, and what would it cost if product variants doubled? How much precious metal is lost to overcoating across a year? And could today\u2019s records show, years from now, exactly how a given part was made?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>A Realistic Timeline<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Over the next five years, Indian catalyst demand is likely to hold up better than global averages, supported by a large combustion two-wheeler market, growing hybrids, CNG fleets and tightening rules for trucks and machinery. Over ten years, passenger car and two-wheeler demand will decline as electric shares rise, while heavy vehicles, off-road machinery and industrial uses carry more of the market. Beyond that, the industry\u2019s shape will depend on how quickly heavy transport finds practical alternatives to diesel.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Throughout, the converters that are built will be more demanding than today\u2019s. The industry that remains will be smaller in unit terms than at its peak, and more technical.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Coating Lines from Cybernetik<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p
