India's Automobile Exports Rise 14%

01 Oct 2024

India's automobile exports witnessed a significant growth of 14% during the April-September period, underscoring the strength of the country's auto manufacturing sector. The increase in exports is attributed to the rising global demand for both passenger vehicles and two-wheelers, with Indian manufacturers ramping up production to meet this surge.

Passenger vehicles registered a notable growth, benefiting from strong demand in markets across Africa, Latin America, and the Middle East. Similarly, two-wheelers saw heightened demand in developing nations, reinforcing India’s position as a key supplier in the global automotive supply chain.

In addition to passenger vehicles and two-wheelers, the export of commercial vehicles also contributed to the overall rise, showcasing the versatility and broad appeal of Indian automotive products. The increase reflects India's growing capability in producing competitively priced, high-quality automobiles that cater to a wide range of international markets.

India’s automotive industry plays a pivotal role in the country’s economic landscape, and this export boost is a positive indicator for the sector’s global competitiveness. It also highlights the industry's recovery from the challenges posed by the COVID-19 pandemic, which had significantly impacted production and logistics.

The growth in automobile exports reinforces India’s stature as a manufacturing hub, supported by favorable government policies and initiatives aimed at promoting exports and enhancing manufacturing capacities. As the demand for Indian vehicles continues to rise globally, the country is poised to further strengthen its footprint in the international automotive market.

The industry’s performance in this period has set a positive tone for the remainder of the fiscal year, with expectations of continued growth driven by expanding export opportunities and robust demand across key markets.
