With the world's top car makers turning to India for automobile components, the industry is poised to record an export target of US$ 5.9 billion in 2008-09. The sector has emerged as one of India's fastest growing manufacturing sectors, and a globally competitive one. India is exporting automobile components and becoming an international hub for automobile and component making. The country's automobile component industry can boast a varied range of plus points which include high engineering skill, established production lines, a thriving domestic automobile industry and competitive costs.
Stats tell me that the manufacturing costs in India are 25 to 30 percent lower than its western counterparts. No wonder why global auto majors see India as a giant in auto component manufacturing. Moreover its full service supply capability and a cost advantage with regard to castings and forgings make it the favoured destination.
