The integration of the Internet of Things (IoT) in the automotive sector has unlocked substantial potential for innovation and efficiency, particularly through the adoption of Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT). IIoT enables seamless development, growth, and delivery of integrated services aimed at enhancing user convenience and operational efficiency, offering transformative opportunities for the Indian automotive industry. This study explores IIoT’s role in the sector, beginning with a detailed conceptual framework and scope analysis. While the prospects of IIoT adoption are promising, its widespread implementation in India faces challenges related to technical, infrastructural, and operational barriers. The paper examines the scale and functionality of various connectivity services embedded in sensor nodes, linking them to relevant applications to highlight the technical implications and challenges of IIoT adoption. A survey was conducted to evaluate the readiness of industry personnel for IIoT adoption and to identify departments most suitable for initiating its implementation. The findings provide a nuanced perspective on IIoT’s transformative potential, offering insights on overcoming adoption challenges with minimal cost and effort. Furthermore, the study examines recent advancements and potential future applications in the automotive sector, highlighting the need for academia-industry collaboration to drive sustainable development. The outcomes aim to shape strategies that foster innovation, efficiency, and sustainability in the automobile sector in India.
Thanks to major developments in information and communication technology hardware and software, people in India may now connect and engage with their physical environment in new and previously unimaginable ways (Bakker & Ritts, 2018). This phenomenon is now commonly known as the Internet of Things (IoT) (Granell et al.,
