Maruti Suzuki plans India Expansion as Car Sales Rise
Indias car sales will accelerate this year as economic growth is helping these countries withstand a global slump in automobile demand, an industry group has stated. This has spurred Maruit Suzuki to increase their own investment in the region.
Car sales across India alone are set to increase by at least 10 percent in the year to March 2010, double an April estimate for a 5 percent expansion. The thirteen carmakers in India sold 1.22 million cars last year which is an incredible statistic to consider especially when the car industry is taking a massive hit across the globe.Since this interesting statistic was released some of the largest companies and coporations in the world such as General Motors, Toyota and Honda are trying to make more investments into these countries as their economies are clearly going to boost.
The market for used cars in India has also risen with the need to buy a new alfa romeo or buy a toyota dropping. Used cars for sale these days are extremely reasonable in over populated regions of the world like India and people are more than prepared to make the most of this now. China, japan and America are amongst several countries that are offering a mix of credits and tax breaks to try and boost auto sales by getting consumers to trade-in old cars for newer, more fuel efficient models which is thus helping keep the environment clean and safe. Indias central bank injected roughly 5.6 trillion rupees into the economy which together with the government fiscal stimulus amounted to more than 12 percent of gross domestic product. Vehicle sales also grew in India by just 1.3 percent in the fiscal year which ended in March, the slowest pace in at least seven years. There is clear evidence that the bad economy has had a massive affect on us all yet with the overwhelming population and workforce from India and China the economy can grow and recover quicker.
