@Mr.Sonu can you please define fraudster! and Genuine buyers !! ? In my opinion , every human being who has a will and aims for the capability of making something his or hers is a customer by begging or borrowing , here particularly we are not speaking about stealing. If every Genuine customers are only wanted , what are the measures one needs to take? Can you define it to me.? Mr. Sonu nothing personal is intended here , iam speaking with notion of business and its rule, and of all ofcourse, where did this fraudsters develop into ... it reminds me of a saying which i feel is not communism or something like that ... but though not equal very similiar to it. Rich mans fa** is a disease and poors man is stink! Please elaborate!

If recession don't kill our Auto industry then the sloppy way we handle our economy and soverign will. Reasons,
1)The environment is not designed for Automobiles. If so we wouldn't have congestions, jams and enough parking spaces in cities for automobiles(even villages and towns like US). An environment should be designed for Automobies.
2) Having been a socialistic country for 50 years our policy makers and general public do still nurture the idea that automobiles are for the wealthy and not as a convenience and welfare tool for easy mode of transportation.
3)We as a nation hasn't defined our mission or goals as a nation yet. So we cannot remove the confusion in the mindsets of the people living here as to why they exist and what they should do to reach some or any goals at all.
4)Developed nations are created otherwise. They have their goals and culture built up around production and environment to support automobiles.
5)Unless atleast we have highways built up like American Interstate highways or German Autobhans we are going to have a tough time pushing sales beyond certain threshold levels in future.
6)Fair exchanges in sales, income and cost based demand pricing so that everyone can afford cars if the 5) is implemented.
These are not exhaustive suggestion but a few. Other economic reason might include high insurance costs, maintainance which all might come under fair exchanges and other economic factors.

Yes, the effects of recession has already been seen in Indian Automobile Industry, with sales figures dropping down even in the months of october when Indians consider the best time to buy new cars...Also the layoffs happening due to decline in production units...

It seems that this is the right time to hit our domestic and international market with our elegant, stylish design with much more cleaner environment based engines,.. If we use this situation as huge weapon with our intellectual ideas then we can win the recession race,.. This is a common problem for all, so any one in the world use their potential to extent, they can win easily,..

The recession effect is mainly on the Software industry and thus the Real estate. Indian GDP is dependent for 50 % on these areas. We should look at the point that, though there would not be a software boom, still our economy would have grown with the existin domestic demand as well as other industrial growth, may be slower but strurdier.
We can grow even if the US does not exist on earth. Infact, we would have grown even better, as CIA activities does't play on us.
Domestic demand for automobile industry has to be sintificly addressed by the Auto Cos. Rural market is still to be explored and exploited with BTL activities as well as spending resonably on ATLs. We have Europe, Asia, Middle east and Europe for support of Export market. The produt delvelopment, i.e. R&D and production tech to surpass their quality.
There will only be a temporary effect of recession on Auto industry. Sufficient supply and demand ratio has to be calculated more systematicly.

Though recession has affected indian economy somehow but still there is some stability in Indian economy compared to European or American economy. We Indians like to do more saving than spend money for purchasing anything which we do not need. We know the difference between "nice to have" and "need to have". We do not shop till we drop. There is a great potential market for automobiles in India (No of consumers is increasing steadily thanks to the economic growth). The great automobile companies are heading for Indian market.

Our Auto industry might turn out to be leaner and meaner. Companies will be more efficient & learn the right lessons from this crisis. No one expects the slowdown to last more than an year, though things would be tough in this period for sure. After the tax cut, prices for vehicles are really attractive, and dealers desperate for sales might offer even more discounts. Our auto industry will make up by catering the domestic demand....
