AN OVERVIEW OF SMALL CAR INDUSTRY
The small car segment is one of the largest car segment in India is defined as a car
that has length between the range of 3.8 to 4 meters. It comprises of nearly two third of the
sales in the country.
Young India is booming and auto Industry is basking under the sun. By the year 2010,
India shall witness a boom in the small car segments with major car makers making their
foray in India and India will have small cars from general motors Maruti , Hyundai, Tata,
etc.
The existing small cars would attract hefty discounts or would be phased out to
complete with the new cars with new latest trendy features like ABS , airbags, automatic
drive etc. We expect that all the cars shall be placed in the price band of Rs 3 lakhs to 5 lakhs.
Maruti Suzuki is the uncrowned king of the small car industry in India. It has already
hub for its small car.
