Particularly, the sales of passenger vehicles will reach nearly 2.4 Million Units in 2012-13. As per a Research Analyst at RNCOS, The sustained growth achieved by the Indian auto industry has grabbed the attention of international auto giants, including Nissan, Ford and General Motors. All these manufacturers are looking to produce smaller, more affordable models so as to tap the growing demand for cars in the third-biggest Asian economy. This promises a bright future for the auto industry in India.
