sales stood at 20,16,115 units in 2011-12 compared to 19,72,845 units

high interest rates, inflation and rising fuel prices in the last

Market Scenario
The year 2011 was unique for the Indian auto industry. The production
data of the Indian Automobile Industry for April-March 2011 recorded a
growth of 27.45 percent over same period last year.
The Indian automobile industry may not be able to maintain the growth
rates registered in the last two years. The high base effect of 2010,
the firming up of interest rates and crude oil price change may affect
the growth rates in future. The Tsunami, earthquake, disasters in Japan
has affected the production of many automotive companies as they were
unable to get parts from the suppliers affected by the catastrophe.
The challenges, the automobile industry in the Indian market will face
are stable economic environment, healthy IIP growth, favorable
liquidity and availability of finance. Other things that would affect
the Indian automobile industry include road network development
activities, strong growth in construction activities and the expected
healthy performance of the industrial sector.
The competition in all car segments would be severe with the launch of
new models by many Automobile manufacturers like Toyota, Honda, Maruti
Suzuki, General Motors, VW, BMW etc.
The commodity prices are rising which will be putting the pressure on
margins of the Automobile manufacturers leading to severe pressure on
margins of the Auto component industry.

which has happened between the date of the Balance Sheet and up to the
date of this report.
