Automotive Logistics India 8 - 10 December 2010 Chennai, India.
The promise - and the rewards - get bigger
India's automotive market is growing - and changing. As well as being the world centre for small cars, the industry is responding confidently to the attention and investment from global OEMs, by enhancing innovation and modernisation among its domestic OEMs.

Logistics continues to face the challenges of fragmented LSPs, poor infrastructure and deadening government bureaucracy. But it is also responding to the challenges of growth with new professionalism and some surprising innovation.

The government has just announced plans for an $11 billion fund to upgrade ports roads and bridges. And no less than $ 1 trillion is to be spent on infrastructure over five years from 2012.

Meanwhile OEMs are seeing a new urgency in government action. "The speed with which the government of Tamil Nadu state worked to facilitate the setting up of our manufacturing facility has been quite remarkable,” Renault India spokesman Ashish Sinharoy told Automotive Logistics News in May. Renault Nissan had just two months before opened a new facility in Chennai.

"Many of the promises made to us and the industry, such as good access roads from our manufacturing facility to ports and to the city, are already in place or are in the process of being completed,” he added.

Insights like these are just part of the value of being at the 4th Automotive Logistics India conference. Overall, delegates will benefit from:
