India recorded robust growth in vehicle sales during the previous decade which has made the country into one of the dynamic markets in Asia, according to the latest report from IHS.

In 2014, India was the sixth largest market globally in terms of light-vehicle (LV) sales (comprising passenger cars and light trucks) after China, United States, Japan, Brazil and Germany.  Prospects for the LV industry look better for 2015 and beyond, aided by an expected revival in economic growth and consumer sentiments, strong demand from rural markets, softening of interest rate and new product launches.

This fifth edition of the Indian Supplier Report offers an account of the current volatile business environment in the country. The report, based on comprehensive first hand interaction with industry officials, gives an insight into how suppliers are dealing with the current market and economic challenges.
