Transport in India - Local transport - Cars

Transport in India - Local transport - Cars

The demand for cars in India is one of the highest in

the world. In 2002, more than 50,000 new cars were

bought in Delhi alone. Compact cars predominate due to

low cost. Maruti, Hyundai, Tata Motors and Ford are the

most popular brands in the order of their market share.

The clunky Ambassador once had a monopoly but is now an

icon of pre-liberalisation India, and is still used by

politicians. Maruti 800 launched in 1984 created the

first revolution in the Indian auto sector because of

its low pricing. It had the highest market share until

2004, when it was overtaken by other low cost models of

Maruti and those of foreign entrants like Hyundai. Over

the 20 year period since its introduction about 2.4

million units of Maruti 800 have been sold.
