The Auto Industry slow down
The performance of auto industry is very vital as it contributes 7.1% to the GDP and a whooping 49% of manufacturing GDP so if there is any change i.e expansion or contraction it will directly influence the GDP,the auto sector provides jobs to millions in India.The auto sector was growing consistently so much so that new automotive company were vying to enter the auto industry such as KIA motors,Morris Garages and the mighty Peugot group but it was the year 2019 when things fell apart and the auto industry started slowing and it was going negative miserably and had a touched a 18 years low of sales this directly impacted the economy as the auto makers had to fire nearly million people out of there jobs, hault there production for several days which eventually led to another record where it specified that India's Unemployment had reached a 45 year low and the auto anxillary too started facing problems and stock market which is the most important economic barometer also showed market corrections and eventually wiped out lakhs of crores of investors wealth. The slow down in was bound to happen with the joint efforts of the government and market forces .It all began with the government introducing tougher emission norms i.e BS6 so the auto makers had to invest in developing or upgrading there existing engines to new set standards so which meant they had to invest more and more in R&D department and the cost which they bore had to be passed to the end customer moreover they also had to develop there products keeping in mind the upcoming products from new competitors eventually all this led to inflating the price of there products and since indian customers are price sensitive they decided to postpone there demand and so the market started crashing.
