      In this context, the industry witnessed a growth of 2.89 per cent in the first quarter of the year. There has been steady growth as seen from the studies of the next fiscal. If the trend persists, it is definitely going to be a perfect year for automobile-sellers. A stable government at the centre is a contribution to this fact, exclaimed experts. There was much negativity with a number of scams affecting the economy of the nation in the last few seasons. However, it is expected that the rise will be steady and continuous in the coming few quarters.

      As per the reports received, all the leading automobile manufacturers showed a positive growth with both the leaders, Maruti Suzuki India and Hero MotoCorp in the field of four-wheelers and two-wheelers showed an upsurge. The good run is expected to continue with good news coming for the manufacturers. This will also encourage foreign names to make a foray in the Indian market.
