Contributing 7.1% to India’s GDP, automotives are expected to go from a $126 billion industry to a $200 billion industry by 2030. That’s a CAGR of almost 15%. This is expected because the demand for vehicles is rising with:

1. The growing population of youth, and 
2. The increasing size of paychecks. 

India’s current per capita GDP is over ₹2.2 lakhs, a 60% increase since 2014 It’s a huge factor in the increasing demand for automobiles and premiumization trend in the country.
