NEW DELHI: India is drawing up an incentive scheme for the autos sector aimed at doubling exports of vehicles and components in the next five years, four sources with direct knowledge of the matter told Reuters.
India's auto sector exports touched US$27 billion in the fiscal year ending March 2019, led by companies including Ford Motor , Hyundai Motor , Maruti Suzuki , Volkswagen and Bosch , which analysts say stand to gain the most. "Having a liberal trade policy will allow companies to bring in new and global technologies which will increase their scale and India's competitiveness as an export hub," he said.The initial scheme has been designed to incentivise large companies and in turn benefit smaller players in the supply chain, making the auto sector more competitive overall, one of the sources said.
