Political
No min criteria for FDI
Automatic approvals for FDI in Indian Automobile Market and the country can export
without paying taxes
--a big opportunity for automobile FDI growth exists in India.

Union Budget,2014 Finance Ministry

Retention of the excise duty cut benefits & elimination of customs duty on
components : car and bike prices in India will remain pretty much the same
Implementation of the Goods and Service Tax (GST) in the auto industry
Reduction in steel prices

Abolishment of tax for income up to Rs. 2.5 lakh, allocation of Rs. 14,389 crore for
roads in villages might help the industry in the long run.

In the pipeline
an announcement on incentives for electric vehicles

Economic
The investment climate is positive. A slew of poilicies
implemented to promote foreign direct investment (FDI) of up
to 100 per cent. This is done by imposing heavy duties on
import of vehicles while promoting import of components and
machinery
In current budget, the government maintained the custom
duty on import of CBU and SKD of new cars at 61.8%

Higher expectation of GDP growth 5.5%, excise duty cuts and

launch of more models will lead to recovery of sales of cars and
UVs.
The automobile industry attracted the total FDI equity inflow of
Rs. 482 billion or $9.8 billion between 2000 and 2014 which
makes 4.51% of total FDI inflow to India
The industry currently accounts for almost 7 per cent of the
countrys GDP and employs about 19 million people both
directly and indirectly. Future projected: USD 145 billion by
2016, contribution to GDP: 10% in 2016, employment: 25
million
