The likely capacity and production of the automotive sector for the period 2007-12, with an indication of the perspective for 10 to 15 years is expected that the automotive industry will grow quite rapidly in the next 10 years and is expected to reach production volumes of almost 3 million passenger cars and more than 30 million two wheelers.
Mitra, Kushan (2011) conducted that recent price increase of petrol and diesel and its impact for car buyers in India. The price increase affects users of bikes which have petrol engines more than the middle class man who drives the diesel-variant of the Maruti Swift. Moreover, it notes that the move will also affect small and medium size scale manufacturing firms which routinely use diesel to operate their factories. Rising fuel prices will eventually pinch the wallets of all car and motorcycle drivers. But an absurd subsidy on diesel is skewing the Indian car market

FINDINGS
• Factors that influence purchasing decisions:• When purchasing anything other than a fast moving consumer item, the
process should never be a case of simply picking up an item and paying for it, as it is likely that you will have problems with a purchase at sometime. When deciding whether to purchase a product or not there are many factors to consider, such as;
• Price of the car
• Family needs
• Brand name
• Income level
• Government policies and regulations
• Import duties imposed by government
• Advertisement and promotion
• After sales services
• Instalment payment facility
• Safety
• Easy Availability of spare parts..
CONCLUSION
• The study was conducted to identify the factors that are affecting car purchasing decision.
• Consumer behaviour refers to the selection, purchase and consumption of goods and services for the satisfaction of their wants. There are different processes involved in the consumer behaviour.
• After selecting the commodities, the consumer makes an estimate of the available money which he can spend. Lastly, the consumer analyzes the prevailing prices of commodities and takes the decision about the commodities he should consume.
• Consumer behaviour is deeply influenced by cultural factors such as: buyer culture, subculture, and social class.
