India positions 10th in domestic car sales

Demand for car sales in India and their raising graph in their sales chart clearly indicates the growth of Indian car industry. I was proud to know that Indian car industry ranked 10th in the world with respect to domestic car sales in the year 2007.

It was for the first time ever last year; the global car sales crossed the 70 million mark, where U.S topped the list with sales of 16.46 million cars. The second position was taken by China with 8.792 million car sales, followed by Japan (5.354 million), Germany (3.483 million), the UK (2.8 million) and Italy (2.741 million).

India was one among the 3 emerging markets that raised one notch from the 2006 rankings with the total domestic sales of 1.99 million cars for year 2007. India is one of the major bases for manufacturing small passenger cars and flaunts in the automotive industry of being the 3rd largest manufacturer of small cars.
