We have been getting continuous requests on the Production Statistics for the Passenger Vehicle Industry. We are happy to share the same in this report.
India has seen a tremendous influx of automotive manufacturing facilities since 2000 and has also made it a significant production hub for the global automakers.

The option is so lucrative that General Motors even though has exited the Indian Market; still continues to export the Beat from the Talegaon plant in Maharashtra.
The investment trend still continues and OEMs are expected to invest over $8-10 billion (Rs 51,600-64,500 crore) in India over the next three-four years to set up factories in the sub-continent.
