India now world's fifth largest car manufacturer

[Gandhi G in da house]

Please dont jump the gun.. India "may" become the 5th largest car manufacturer, but for now, the ranking is mostly attributed to the strike in S.Korea's largest plants. It is up to you to celebrate a "blip" in the ranking.

Read the article.

India is already 5th largest. It's not a question of "may". Korea "may" come back to 5th position as you claim. That we'll have to wait and watch.

according to the article, India is now 5th because there is a strike in S.Korea's factories. Once the strike is resolved, the ranking should put India at 6th. Its not a fundamental shift. its only a blip for now.

There might be a fundamental shift later in the coming years.

As I said - you are free to make whatever opinion you want from the news article.

"We often say that Korea is loaded with five huge problems. Those problems include the still unresolved wage issue; unfavorable currency exchange rates; high-cost, low-productivity structure; and the recent strike by the Hyundai Motor labor union, the first all-out walkout in 12 years. Korean carmakers haven’t invested much domestically."

^ These are the reasons cited by the Korean article. Strike is only one reason out of many.

Anyway, even if as you claim Korea does regain 5th position once the strike ends, it wont be for long. The trend is clear.

Indian company was very clever at buying jaguar land rover, it was first offered to koç group who said they made a big mistake in not purchasing it. Same as China who bought volvo, a known brand.

Meh.. We will become the world's 2/3 largest manufacturer in every commodities in the coming years.

Congrats

Good. India became 6th largest in 2011 and now in 5 years, it has earned its position in top 5. Soon enough we will be amongst the top 3 manufacturers.

Why do you not consider 1?

 

[SBUS-CXK]

Because I am realistic.

Haha, OK. Your production car engine?

 

[SBUS-CXK]

"Topping the list was China, followed by the U.S., Japan, Germany. Korea, which had ranked 5th in the world, was replaced by India, which has produced 2.57 million cars so far."

"India has overtaken Korea in accumulated automobile output to take 5th place, and Mexico is very likely to catch up with Korea in four years’ time."

Please dont jump the gun.. India "may" become the 5th largest car manufacturer, but for now, the ranking is mostly attributed to the strike in S.Korea's largest plants. It is up to you to celebrate a "blip" in the ranking.

india replaced korea to become no.5 , there is no "may"
