Automobile Industry in IndiaDriven by Foreign Investment Fueled for Growth

This book offers a comprehensive exploration of the transformative role of Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) in shaping the trajectory of India's automobile industry. As one of the fastest-growing sectors in the Indian economy, the automobile industry has evolved from a nascent, domestic-focused market to a dynamic, globally integrated hub of innovation and production. At the heart of this transformation lies the strategic inflow of FDI, acting as a catalyst for technological advancement, infrastructure development, employment generation, and increased competitiveness. Through critical analysis, data-driven insights, and case studies, this book delves into the evolution, policy framework, challenges, and emerging trends of the sector. It examines how liberalized FDI policies, government initiatives like 'Make in India', and the growing demand for electric vehicles have collectively contributed to the sector's expansion. The book also evaluates the socio-economic implications of FDI in the industry and presents forward-looking perspectives on sustainability and global competitiveness. Automobile Industry in India: Driven by Foreign Direct Investment, Fueled for Growth is an essential resource for students, researchers, policymakers, and professionals in the fields of economics, international business, public policy, and automotive engineering, offering valuable insights into one of India's most vibrant and strategically significant industries.
