The Indian Automobile Industry plays a major role in the economic scenario of the country. The automobile sector in India, record sales of more than one million passenger cars per year. The percentage of automobile exports has risen significantly during the last few years. The government policies on Indian automobile industry have been framed in order to aid in the expansion of the automobiles sector in India.



During the early stages, the automobile industry was not accorded much importance by the Indian Government. However, the attitude changed during the 1990's. A number of reforms were initiated in 1991. Liberal policies affected during this period, proved to be beneficial to the automobile industry. The fiscal measures, tax reliefs and reforms in equity regulations and foreign exchange led to significant growth in the automobile sector. A reduction in the percentage of tariffs imposed on exports and a change in the banking policies was instrumental in the expansion and growth of the banking sector.



Prior to the mid 1990's, the Indian automobile sector comprised of indigenous companies. The automobile market in India was however, opened up to foreign investors in 1996. International names like Ford, Hyundai, Toyota, Volvo, Daimler Chrysler and GM Honda were thus, able to make their foray into the Indian automobile sector. Furthermore, the auto emission rules issued by the government in recent years ensured that the vehicles manufactured in India, catered to international standards. At present, the automobiles sector contributes 4 % to the GDP. About 9.7 million automobiles were manufactured in 2005-2006. Export figures had crossed the magic figure of one billion during 2003-2004.

A reduction in the tariff imposed on car exports has been effected by the Indian government. There has also been a removal of the minimum capital investment required from new investors. The new policy is also in favor of reduction in excise duty for small automobiles and low emission and multi utility cars. The tariff policy is also to be reviewed on a regular basis in order to affect a balance between domestic industry and international trade. There has also been a proposal for tax relaxation on investment of more than Rs. 500 Crore.

The government has recently proposed for an infrastructure that will provide one stop clearance for any kind of proposal for foreign direct investment in the automotive sector. This will include the local clearance system also for the same purpose. There are also plans for imposing a 100 % tax deduction on export profits. The government has also proposed for a concession in import duty for the establishment of new manufacturing units and industrial holdings.

The Indian government is also urging the state governments to ensure continuous power supply to the automotive manufacturing units as well as granting them with the preferred plots of land. Captive Generation for the automobile sector has also been proposed. The auto policy of the Indian government also includes the promotion of vehicles which are run on alternative energy resources. Talks are also on for extensive research, development and designing facilities that would effect modernization in the automotive sector.

The policies adopted by the Indian government for the growth and development of the automobile sector, has led to a large number of foreign investments. It has also given rise to an increased sales rate for two wheelers and other automobiles. India is also becoming the ultimate outsourcing destination for global automobile companies like Ford, Mitsubishi, Toyota, Hyundai etc.


i hope it helps.
