The contribution of the automotive industry to GDP has risen from 2.77% in 1992-93 to 4.0% in 1998-99. India ranks second in the production of two wheelers and fifth in commercial vehicles.
[...] Considering that global trade in auto components at the beginning of the decade was about $ 250 billion, there is a completely big market waiting to be conquered. Encouraged by the growing competitiveness of the Indian automotive component sector, automotive component manufacturers, under the ages of the Automotive Component Manufacturers Association of India (ACMA), are now looking at exploring new market opportunities in Russia. According to ACMA, Russia represents a fast-growing market for automotive products and is likely to become one of the world's largest automotive markets in the next 15 to 20 years. [...]
