This month’s briefing looks at India’s automotive industry, it gives a political and economic overview, light vehicle market, and the manufacturing and components industry. The manufacturing sector has registered a steady growth in the past few years. Exports of manufactured goods from India surpassed US$22bn in 2005, up from US$6bn in 2000, and the Indian automotive supplier industry’s sales are expected to grow by around 14% in 2006 and 15 to 16% in 2007. Growth would be driven by strong demand for automobiles in the country, and high growth in exports of components. India is fast becoming a global outsourcing and strong skills base, and with the emergence of Indian suppliers into the global market, the Indian manufacturing industry is gearing up for expansion.
Bajaj may ride Ghosn dream

Nissan Renault boss Carlos Ghosn may partner with Bajaj Auto (BAL) for their small car project.

Renault already has a partnership with Mahindra & Mahindra for selling the Logan in India. The two partners, along Nissan, are also putting up a greenfield plant in Chennai which will be used by all three. Renault is also putting up a powertrain plant in India as a 100% subsidiary. M& M plans to focus on the SUV market.

For Bajaj Auto it makes business sense to diversify. It can foray into the small car segment and leverage the dealership, distribution and service networks already in place for its two wheeler market.

Not a smooth ride for automobile

A study was jointly conducted by the Automotive Analysis Division at the University of Michigan Transportation Research Institute (UMTRIAAD) and IBM's Institute for Business Value (IBV), to highlight the rapid growth & challenges of the Indian automotive industry.

The report titled ‘Inside India - Indians view their automotive future’ is based on analysis of extensive research and interviews conducted with the Indian automotive executives and experts from the government, industry and academia.

The report clearly highlights the need for the government to focus on infrastructure and services to support the automotive industry to meet global standards. If India is to become a global automotive production and sales hub, the focus areas are:

* A better transportation infrastructure;
* Improved product quality;
* More skilled workers;
* Changes in labor and tax regulations;
* An increase in the scale of exports of automotive companies.
* Intellectual property protection
* Improve transportation infrastructure – hghways, ports and country's infrastructure, air quality, and oil supply are possible inhibitors to the growth of the domestic automotive market.
* Quality, scale and resources for support services for export - managing global supply chain logistics, resources to support potential global warranty claims.
* High quality research and development.

Car to jostle for space with super bikes

Cars for Rs 1 lakh and high-speed super bikes for Rs 8-15 lakh, such is the paradox of India’s automobile market.

Estimating a good market of high network individuals, all Japanese bike makers are launching their mean machines in the Indian market. Yamaha, Suzuki and Honda are lining up their top bikes for the Indian market by 2007 end and 2008.

Over a period of more than two decades the Indian Automobile industry has been driving its own growth through phases. The entry of Suzuki Corporation in Indian passenger car manufacturing is often pointed as the first sign of India turning to a market economy. Since then the automobile sector witnessed rapid growth year after year. By late-90's the industry reached self reliance in engine and component manufacturing from the status of large scale importer.

With comparatively higher rate of economic growth rate index against that of great global powers, India has become a hub of domestic and exports business.
The automobile sector has been contributing its share to the shining economic performance of India in the recent years. With the Indian middle class earning higher per capita income, more people are ready to own private vehicles including cars and two-wheelers. Product movements and manned services have boosted in the sales of medium and sized commercial vehicles for passenger and goods transport.

Side by side with fresh vehicle sales growth, the automotive components sector has witnessed big growth. The domestic auto components consumption has crossed rupees 9000 crores and an export of one half size of this figure.
