One of the industries in India that is expanding the quickest is the automobile sector, which is vital to the nation's economic growth. Supply chain performance is now a crucial factor in determining an organization's success in a business climate that is becoming more complicated and competitive. Real-time visibility, predictive maintenance, automation, and data-driven decision-making throughout supply chain processes are all made possible by the Internet of Things (IoT), a revolutionary digital technology. With an emphasis on automotive manufacturers and multi‑tier supplier firms, this study investigates how IoT adoption affects supply chain performance in the Indian automobile sector. A descriptive and analytical research design was adopted, and primary data were collected through a structured questionnaire from 294 professionals, of which 285 valid responses were analysed using Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS). Reliability analysis confirmed excellent internal consistency (Cronbach’s alpha = 0.948). Correlation analysis revealed a strong positive connection between IoT implementation and supply chain performance (r = 0.814, p < 0.001). Regression results further demonstrated that IoT implementation has a significant positive impact on supply chain performance (β = 0.814, t = 23.847, p < 0.001), explaining 66.2% of the variance (R² = 0.662). The findings confirm that IoT adoption significantly enhances efficiency, visibility, responsiveness, and overall operational performance of the supply chain in the automotive firms. The study concludes that IoT is a strategic enabler of competitiveness and operational excellence in the Indian automotive industry.
