Event Summary
The past few years have witnessed a rapid change in all the segments of the Indian automotive industry. International competition, increase in the number of participants, and the need to counter the pressure on margins have made it a buyer's rather than a seller's market. Customers have wide model choices and the rising income levels – especially among young adults – coupled with the low equal monthly installments (EMIs) have made vehicle purchase affordable. With foreign competitors focusing on passenger vehicles, domestic participants are scrambling to catch up and compete by investing in R&D and improving overall efficiency.
With the implementation of various projects by the government, an estimated figure of USD 35-40 billion will be invested in the industry within the next 10 years, and a bulk of the investment will come from expansion capacities by existing manufacturers and from global MNCs who are seeking to make India their manufacturing base.
Auto India Forum will focus on current issues in the automotive sector; from automotive retailing to government policies to achieving management efficiency. It aims to provide a platform for automotive professionals to capitalise opportunities in the function. It will feature best practices and case studies from leading manufacturers, providing current key issues and new ideas to be competitive in the industry.
