The automobile industry in India emerged in the late 19th century and grew slowly until the 1990s due to policies of nationalization and licensing. Economic reforms in 1991 opened the industry to growth. Major players like Maruti, Tata, and Mahindra expanded as foreign companies partnered with Indian firms. The industry is now the 7th largest globally and India exports vehicles. It faces challenges from rising costs but is adopting new technologies and growing segments like SUVs. Major players like Maruti, Hyundai, and Tata have significant market shares.
