STRENGTHS
The Indian 'icc"e industr is a"most entire" se"fGsufficient, %ith more than 89 of 'icc"e
com!onents su!!"ied from domestic sources/ It a"so o'tains most of its ra% materia"s, such as
stee" tu'es, from %ithin the countr/
It concentrates on !roducing a sim!"e, chea!, and rather o"dGfashioned roadster mode"/ The
cou"d 'e seen as a de"i'erate attem!t to satisf the 'asic trans!ortation needs of the "ess aff"uent
segment of the !o!u"ation/ The industr is ca!a'"e of !roducing roadster mode" at high"

A"though it !rocures a su'stantia" 1o"ume of its com!onents from a "arge num'er of sma""

More than 8@ of its e4!orts are directed to%ards other de1e"o!ing countries %here the 'asic
trans!ortation needs of "arge num'ers of "ess aff"uent !eo!"e are far from 'eing satisfied/
India has 'een eminent" successfu" in entering into joint 1enture and "icensing agreements for
the !roduction of 'icc"es and com!onents in man de1e"o!ing countries/ This 'rea&through
might 'e attri'uted to the fact that India offers a techno"og a!!ro!riate to the needs of man
de1e"o!ing countries/
The domestic mar&et is far from saturated/ The re!"acement mar&et a"one is "i&e" to generate
