The document discusses the growth, challenges, and opportunities of the Indian automobile industry. It notes that India will be a major driver of automotive production growth, especially in the important B segment. The industry is expected to become the world's third largest by 2030. However, the industry faces challenges such as suppliers needing to scale up more quickly than in China and having issues with quality, processes, and testing. The government has introduced initiatives to encourage more fuel efficient vehicles and increase foreign investment. Overall the trends point to reductions in trade barriers and a growing market.

Beyond the Indian Heroes
India is at an inflexion point in terms of automotive growth
Suppliers must scale up in about 1/3 of the time vs.
China
Challenges with many (in particular, Tier II, Tier III)
suppliers abound
− R&D capability
− Quality understanding (despite certification)
− Process competence (project management, quality and
production process systems, etc.)
− Root cause analysis and execution of necessary measures
− Systematic testing despite clear customer expectations
− Eliminate the symptom, don't solve the problem

17. Government Initiatives
 Government to introduce fuel-efficiency ratings for automobiles to encourage sale of cars that consume
less petrol or diesel
 The period of concession available for specified part of electric and hybrid vehicles till April 2013 has been
extended up to March 31, 2015.
 An increase in excise duty from 27 to 30% has been allowed for SUVs with engine capacity exceeding
1,500 cc.
 The excise duty on chassis of diesel motor vehicles for transport of goods reduced from 14% to 13%.
 Government allows 100% FDI in the automotive industry through automatic route.
