These are all startup pains. All will be overcome soon. Alternative technologies for RE magnets are already in the works. Of course where it makes sense, initial supply chains could be from China or elsewhere. Log9’s innovation page clearly states they have built a lot of homegrown tech on top of the base machinery from China. As time goes on, they will figure out ways to replace Chinese machinery with home grown ones. Almost all top engineering universities in India now significant labs dedicated for manufacturing R&D. It is just a matter of time. The pivot to advanced manufacturing just started a few years back. By 2030 India would have made significant progress in original manufacturing capabilities. As India is getting plugged into western standard advanced component manufacturing for critical areas like the defense sector, precision manufacturing is growing rapidly.
IIT Hyderabad has developed advanced LAAM machines. More and more such innovations will come out of India’s universities. India is fast innovating.
Recent advancements have been reported following a collaboration between India’s DIA-CoE at IIT Hyderabad and a number of industry partners
