Made me real proud to read this. Just awesome. Its not very far we will be No.1 hopefully in all the sectors.

How come Hyundai doesn't feature in the list of companies with FDI in the period between 2014 to 2016? Did they not invest in some new assembly lines in Chennai during the launch of Creta?

Feels so good to know that cars - that we're all so passionate about - also contribute substantially to this great country.

It's also important to note that new cars are one of the few big ticket items that you have to buy only with white money (not 100% the case with property). Maruti won't sell cars to its dealers in exchange for unaccounted cash .

Investment was probably from local earnings?

Re: 2016 Report: "Make in India" Automotive sector achievements

While its a good thing to see the kind of investments that are coming in India as part of FDI or 'Make in India', some facts needs to be clarified or talked about.

The $1 Billion investment by Ford is the Sanand Facility, how is that accounted as part of the Apr'14 to Mar'16 period. The plant was commissioned to production since mid 2015 since its groundbreaking that happened late 2011.

The planned $1 Billion investment by GM is on hold and has scrapped plans for future models in India.

That's some limited information that I know, how about the rest? This article sounds more like a political flyer than anything

"The Indian automotive industry is estimated to be of USD 93 billion, at the end of FY 2015-16."

Can someone provide more clarity ? Is this yearly sales figure combining all the exports and local sales which includes all sector ( two wheeler , car , bus etc )

I guess we are also forgetting the fact that except a handful of companies, most of the industry is running in loss and quite frankly our heavy trucks are a joke. They would not be suitable even in other developing economies, let alone developed economies.

Absolutely. There's no comparison with the previous financial years and the actual investment then. Most of these claims were probably in place by the respective companies based on their projected turnover.

India has always been the second largest tractor manufacturer before this period too, if I recall correctly.

Re: 2016 Report: "Make in India" Automotive sector achievements

Hope no one in GM headquarters at Detroit sees the report

Because GM India's Boss will have a lot of explaining to do on the published $1B investment in India between 2014 and 2016.

Why not someone prepare a report on how badly the Automotive industry is treated by successive governments? And nothing changed for the good from 2014 to 2016. Infact it only became worse with the arbitrary and ill informed ban and tax/cess culture.

Even now, car makers are only left to second guess on the future of diesel cars and GST rates. No clarity.

Modi Government mandates preference to India-made vehicles in public procurement
