Indian automotive industry

The Automobile Industry performance in all its sectors has been encouraging. According to an Assocham study, the global component industry is likely to go up to about USD 1.9 trillion by 2015. Out of this USD 700 billion is expected to flow to low cost countries (LCC). This would present an enormous business opportunity for auto component manufacturers in India as tier 2 or tier 3 suppliers.
Tier 1 suppliers are looking to set up manufacturing facilities in India due to its cost advantage and the availability of skilled labour and qualified engineers.

Automatic approval has been granted to foreign equity investment upto 100% for the manufacture of automobiles and components. The Finance bill also allows a 150% weighted deduction for in-house R&D expenditure in the auto component industry.

The size of the Indian automotive industry is estimated between US$ 120.09 billion and US$ 155.12 billion by 2016. The industry is expected to touch the 10 million mark, to which the Commercial Vehicle Segment will be a major contributor. Industry experts peg the Indian Automobile sales growth at a compounded annual growth rate (CAGR) of 9.5 % by 2010.
