Introduction of automobile industry in india pdf Continue Automotive Industry in India With scintillating 2.3 million units produced in 2008 India's automotive industry is in the bag mixes, the ninth largest position in the world. After economic liberalisation, Indian domestic car companies such as Tata Motors, Maruti Suzuki and Mahindra and Mahindra expanded their production and export operations across the country, and since then the industry has shown only signs of growth. The automotive industry consists of heavy vehicles (lorries, buses, tempos, tractors), passenger cars and two-wheel vehicles. The Indian auto industry seems to have come a long way since the first car was manufactured in Mumbai in 1898. The automotive sector is today one of the main sectors in the country, mainly contributing to the Indian economy. It directly and indirectly provides jobs to more than 10 million people in the country. The Indian auto industry has a well-established name worldwide, the second largest two-wheel market in the world, the fourth largest commercial vehicle market in the world, and the eleventh largest passenger car market in the world and is expected to become the third largest car market in the world just behind the US and China. India's middleclass growth coupled with economic growth over the past few years has led a host of global auto giants to set their foot inside Indian territory. In addition, India also provides trained labor at competitive costs, making the country a manufacturing hub for many foreign car companies. India proves to be a potential market compared to most other countries that are witnessing stagnation as far as the growth of the automotive industry is concerned. A recent study by global consulting firm Deloitte says that at least one Indian car company will be among the top six car companies that dominate the car market by 2020. India's car industry appeared to be in good shape last year even after the economic downturn. This was mainly due to the renewed interest shown by global car players such as Nissan Motors, who believe India is a potential market. As for the networks of authorized distributors and gas stations, Maruti Suzuki is the most common. Other car companies are also showing rapid progression in this area. The Indian car export market in India is a very favourable market for small cars, whether it be production, sale or export. Since the Indian auto industry is the largest manufacturer of small car companies such as Hyundai and Nissan Motors export about 240,000 and 250,000 annually. India became Asia's fourth largest car exporter, behind Japan, South Korea and Thailand. Indian car exports recorded a 22.30 percent increase in 2009.
