Summary
The three-day event, being held from Aug 26-28, is organised by MARii and Derrisen Sdn Bhd. Sim noted that the current policy requires companies in the automotive industry to meet a minimum local content level of 30 per cent. Minister of Investment, Trade and Industry Datuk Seri Johari Abdul Ghani said last month that the government is revamping the NCM for the automotive industry, with the intention to implement it next year after completing consultations with the relevant ministries, agencies, and industry players.
Furthermore, Johari said the main objective is to ensure that more non-critical components are produced by local companies, thereby strengthening the domestic supply chain and creating more opportunities for local vendors. Sim said the revised NCM would be tailored to strengthen the automotive ecosystem, particularly by encouraging new developments in electric vehicles (EVs) and ensuring Malaysia becomes part of the EV supply chain. “We will make the NCM simpler; it will be less complex, and the focus will be on localisation. The deputy minister highlighted that the government will directly reward companies that commit to higher local content, local research and development (R D), along with technology transfer in the automotive industry through the upcoming revised New Customised Incentive Mechanism (NCM).
