Abstract
The Indian automotive industry has flourished like never before in the recent years. This
extra-ordinary growth that the Indian automotive industry has witnessed, is a result of a two major
factors namely, the improvement in the living standards of the middle class, and an increase in
their disposable incomes.
Moreover, the liberalization steps, such as, relaxation of the foreign exchange and equity
regulations, reduction of tariffs on imports, and refining the banking policies, initiated by the
Government of India, have played an equally important role in bringing the Indian Automotive
industry to great heights. It is estimated that the sale of passenger cars have tripled compared to
their sale in the last five years. Thus, the sale of cars has reached a figure of 1 million users
and is expected to increase further. Its also to be noted that the demand for luxurious models,
SUVs, and mini-cars for family owners, have shot up, largely due to increase in the consumers
buying capacity.
The increased demand for Indian automobiles has resulted in a large number of multi-national auto
companies, especially from Japan, U. S. A., and Europe, entering the Indian market and working in
collaboration with the Indian firms. Also, the institutionalization of automobile finance has
further paved the way to sustain a long-term high growth for the industry.
