Adam Smith Conferences are pleased to announce an exciting and timely addition to their portfolio of conferences focusing on the most dynamic automotive markets worldwide. India is, arguably, the most exciting and vibrant automotive market in the world today. It is anticipated that it will become the world’s 7th largest car-producing nation in 2010 and leading analysts forecast that by 2030 it will be the 3rd largest. Although it has been impacted by the global crisis affecting the industry, it is rebounding far quicker than most and, indeed, in some ways has benefited as global OEMs and suppliers are relocating production facilities and switching the focus of their global sourcing operations to India. Together with their domestic counterparts, practically all of the major global OEMs have manufacturing operations in India, and these are supported by a broad and diverse supplier base. Moreover vehicle exports from India are growing at an impressive rate, Indian vehicle producers are setting up manufacturing facilities abroad and the supplier base is being integrated into global OEMs’ sourcing programmes. India has innovative and expanding Research and Development capabilities and indeed is at the forefront of environmentally-friendly technology development. |
