==History==
[[File:First Car Showroon secunderabd.jpeg|thumb|left|A pre-Independence car showroom in [[Secunderabad]], showing [[Fiat 500 "Topolino"|Fiat Topolino]] and [[Fiat 1100 (1937)|Fiat 1100]] ]]
[[File:KolkataTraffic1945.jpg|thumb|left|Kolkata street traffic in 1945]]

In 1897, the first car ran on an Indian road. Through the 1930s, cars were imports only, and in small numbers.

An embryonic automotive industry emerged in India in the 1940s. [[Hindustan Motors]] was launched in 1942 building [[Morris Motors|Morris]] products, long-time competitor [[Premier Automobiles Limited|Premier]] in 1944, building [[Chrysler Corporation]] products such as [[Dodge]] and [[Plymouth (automobile)|Plymouth]], and beginning in the 1960s, [[Fiat]] products.<ref name="pip1">[[#TapPip|Piplai]], p. 2892</ref> [[Mahindra & Mahindra Limited|Mahindra & Mahindra]] was established by two brothers in 1945 and began assembly of [[CJ-3|Jeep CJ-3A]] utility vehicles. In the same years, [[J. R. D. Tata]], the chairman of [[Tata Group]] founded [[TATA Engineering and Locomotive Company]] (now [[Tata Motors]]) in [[Jamshedpur]]. Following [[Indian independence movement|independence]] in 1947, the Government of India and the [[private sector]] launched efforts to create an automotive-component manufacturing industry to supply to the automobile industry. In 1953, an import substitution programme was launched, and the import of fully built-up cars began to be restricted.<ref name="pip1" />

===1947–1970===

{{anchor|Raj|1952|Tariff}}

====The 1952 Tariff Commission====
In 1952, the Indian government appointed the first Tariff Commission, whose purpose was to come out with a feasibility plan for the '''indigenization of the Indian automobile''' industry. In 1953, the commission submitted its report, which recommended categorizing existing Indian car companies according to their manufacturing infrastructure, under a licensed capacity to manufacture a certain number of vehicles, with capacity increases allowable, as per demands, in the future. The Tariff Commission recommendations were implemented with new policies that would eventually exclude companies that only imported parts for assembly, as well as those with no Indian partner. In 1954, following the Tariff Commission implementation, [[General Motors]], [[Ford Motor Company|Ford]], and [[Rootes Group]], which had assembly-only plants in [[Mumbai]], decided to move out of India.<ref name="Autocar Professional India">{{Citation | title = The rise of the automobile in free India | location = Mumbai (Bombay) | url = http://www.autocarpro.in/features/rise-automobile-free-india-9078 | publisher = Autocar Professional India }}</ref>

The Tariff commission policies by the then [[Indian National Congress]]-led government, including similar restrictions that applied to other industries, came to be known as the [[Licence Raj]], which proved to be the greatest undoing of the Indian automotive industry, where bureaucratic red tape ended up causing demand to outstrip supply, with month-long, even year-long waiting periods for cars, scooters, and motorcycles.

;Passenger cars
*[[Hindustan Motors]] was established in Kolkata in technical collaboration with [[Morris Motors]] to manufacture Morris Oxford models that would later become HM Ambassador.
* Addisons, Madras – An [[Amalgamations Group]] company, was the agent for [[Nuffield Organization|Nuffield's]] Morris, Wolseley, and Riley cars, and Chrysler's [[Plymouth (automobile)|Plymouth]], [[Dodge]], and De Soto cars and trucks. The first [[Morris Minor]] assembled in India and the first car assembled in Madras was driven out from Addison's twin-plants on Smith Road by Anantharamakrishnan on 15 November 1950.<ref>{{Cite news |date=9 June 2014 |title=An opportunity missed |language=en-IN |work=The Hindu |url=https://www.thehindu.com/todays-paper/tp-features/tp-metroplus/an-opportunity-missed/article6095446.ece |access-date=3 July 2018 |issn=0971-751X}}</ref>

* [[Heavy Vehicles Factory]] was established in 1965 in [[Avadi]], [[Chennai]] to produce tanks in India. Since its inception, HVF has produced all the tanks of India, including [[Vijayanta]], [[Arjun (tank)|Arjun]], [[T-72|Ajeya]], [[T-90|Bhishma]] and their variants for the [[Indian Army]]. HVF is the only tank manufacturing facility of India.
*[[Ashok Leyland]] was founded in [[Chennai]] with [[Leyland Motors]] to manufacture medium to heavy commercial vehicles both Bus and Trucks.

However, growth was relatively slow in the 1950s and 1960s, due to nationalisation and the [[license raj]], which hampered the growth of the Indian private sector.

===1970 to 1983===
[[File:Maruti 800 first.jpg|thumb|[[Maruti 800]], launched in 1983.]]

The beginning of the 1970s did not see growth potential; and most of the collaboration license agreements came to an end, but with the option to continue manufacturing with renewed branding. Cars were still meant for the elite and Jeeps, now owned by [[American Motors Corporation]], were largely used by government organizations and in some rural regions. By the end of the decade, some developments were made in commercial vehicle segments to facilitate the movement of goods. The two-wheeler segment remained unchanged except for increased sales to the middle class in urban areas. There was an emphasis on having more farm tractors, as India was embarking on a new [[Green Revolution in India|Green Revolution]]; and Russian and Eastern bloc imports were brought in to meet the demand.

But after 1970, with restrictions on the import of vehicles set, the automotive industry started to grow; but the growth was mainly driven by tractors, commercial vehicles, and scooters. Cars still remained a major luxury item. In the 1970s, [[price controls]] were finally lifted, inserting a competitive element into the automobile market.<ref>{{cite journal | ref = CBR | last = Bhaktavatsala Rao | first = C. | title = Structural Configurations and Strategic Investments: Indian Automobile Industry | journal = Economic and Political Weekly | number = 8/9 | volume = 28 | location = Mumbai, India | publisher = Sameeksha Trust | page = M21 | date = 1993-02-20 }}</ref> However, by the 1980s, the automobile market was still dominated by [[Hindustan Motors|Hindustan]] and [[Premier Automobiles Limited|Premier]], who sold superannuated products in fairly limited numbers.<ref name="unconvincing">{{cite journal | title = Automobile Industry: Unconvincing Explanations | journal = Economic and Political Weekly | number = 16 | volume = XX | location = Mumbai, India | publisher = Sameeksha Trust | page = 669 | date = 1985-04-20 }}</ref> The rate of car ownership in 1981 was about one in every thousand citizens – understandable when the annual road tax alone cost about half the [[Per capita income|average income]] of an Indian at the time.<ref name="AC4459a">{{cite magazine | ref = VR1 | magazine = [[Autocar (magazine)|Autocar]] | title = Motoring for the millions | first = Vaughan | last = Robinson | publisher = IPC Business Press Ltd. | page = 22 | date = 1982-06-05 | volume = 156 | number = 4459 }}</ref>

During the eighties, a few competitors began to arrive on the scene. Of the 30,487 cars built in India in 1980, all but six came from the two main players Hindustan and Premier: [[Standard (Indian automobile)|Standard]] had led a shadow existence in the latter half of the 1970s, producing only a handful of cars to keep their license active.<ref name="AC4459a" /> A new contender was tiny [[Sipani]], which had tried building locally developed three-wheeled vehicles since 1975 but introduced the [[Reliant Kitten]]-based Dolphin in 1982. Nonetheless, all eyes were on [[Maruti Suzuki|Maruti]], which caused a major upheaval to the Indian automobile industry.<ref name="AC4459a" />

The OPEC oil crisis saw increased need to install or redesign some vehicle to fit diesel engines on medium commercial vehicle. Until the early 1970s Mahindra Jeeps were on [[Petrol]] and Premier commercial vehicles had Petrol model options. The Defence sector too had most trucks on Petrol engines.

===1984 to 1992===
[[File:CBRN Recce vehicle during Republic Day Parade 2017.jpg|thumb|Chemical Biological Radiological and Nuclear Reconnaissance Vehicle (CBRN-RV)
manufactured by the [[Armoured Vehicles Nigam|AVANI]] ]]

From the end of the 1970s to the beginning of the 1980s India saw no new models, the country continuing to depend on two decades-old designs. The Sipani Dolphin, which arrived in 1982, was not a serious contender, with its plastic body and without rear doors - essential to Indian car buyers. This situation forced the government to encourage and let more manufacturers into fray.

In 1984 [[Armoured Vehicles Nigam|AVANI]] was established in Medak near Hyderabad. It started manufacturing [[Infantry fighting vehicle|Infantry Combat Vehicles]] christened as ''Sarath'', the backbone of India's mechanised infantry. [[Armoured Vehicles Nigam|AVANI]] is still the only manufacturing facility of ICVs in India. To manufacture the high-power engines used in ICVs and main battle tanks, the Engine Factory was set up in 1987 in Avadi, near Chennai. In 1986, to promote the auto industry, the government established the [[Delhi auto expo|Delhi Auto Expo]]. The 1986 Expo was a showcase for how the Indian automotive industry was absorbing new technologies, promoting indigenous research and development, and adapting these technologies for the rugged conditions of India.

===Post-1992 liberalisation===
[[File:Indica DLX diesel.jpg|thumb|[[Tata Indica]], launched in 1998]]

Eventually multinational automakers such as [[Suzuki]] and [[Toyota]] of Japan and [[Hyundai Motor Company|Hyundai]] and [[Daewoo Motors]] of South Korea were allowed to invest in the Indian market, furthering the establishment of an automotive industry in India. [[Maruti Suzuki]] was the first and the most successful of these new entries, in part the result of government policies to promote the automotive industry beginning in the 1980s.<ref name="unconvincing" /> As India began to liberalise its automobile market in 1991, a number of foreign firms also initiated joint ventures with existing Indian companies. The variety of options available to the consumer began to multiply in the nineties, whereas before there had usually only been one option in each price class. By 2000, there were 12 large automotive companies in the Indian market, most of them offshoots of global companies.<ref>[[#TapPip|Piplai]], p. 2893</ref>

====Slow export growth====
Exports were slow to grow. Sales of small numbers of vehicles to tertiary markets and neighbouring countries began early, and in 1987 Maruti Suzuki shipped 480 cars to Europe (Hungary). After some growth in the mid-nineties, exports once again began to drop as the outmoded platforms provided to Indian manufacturers by multinationals were not competitive.<ref>[[#TapPip|Piplai]], pp. 2894-2895</ref> This was not to last, and today India manufactures low-priced cars for markets across the globe. As of 18 March 2013, global brands such as [[Proton (automobile)|Proton Holdings]], [[PSA Group]], [[Kia]], [[Mazda]], [[Chrysler]], [[Dodge]] and [[Geely Holding Group]] were shelving plans for India due to the competitiveness of the market, as well as the global economic crisis.

====Emission norms====
In 2000, in line with international standards to reduce vehicular pollution, the central government unveiled standards titled "India 2000", with later, upgraded guidelines to be known as [[Bharat Stage emission standards]]. These standards are quite similar to the stringent [[European emission standards]] and have been implemented in a phased manner.

[[BS IV|Bharat Stage IV]] (BS-IV) was first implemented in 13 cities — Agra, Ahmedabad, Bengaluru, Chennai, Delhi (NCR), Kanpur, Kolkata, Lucknow, Hyderabad, Mumbai, Pune, Surat, Solapur — in April 2010, and then in the rest of the nation in April 2017.

In 2019, in line with international standards to reduce vehicular pollution, the central government of India announced the introduction of [[Bharat stage emission standards|BS-VI norms]] to control air pollution, taking effect from 1 April 2020.<ref>{{Cite news|date=2 April 2020|title=Amid lockdown, India switches to BS-VI emission norms|newspaper=The Hindu|url=https://www.thehindu.com/news/national/amid-lockdown-india-switches-to-bs-vi-emission-norms/article31231973.ece}}</ref>

===Local manufacturing push===
[[File:Mahindra BE6 pic 1.jpg|thumb|[[Mahindra BE 6|Mahindra BE6]], launched in 2024]]
India levies an import tax of 125% on foreign imported cars, while the import tax on components such as gearboxes, airbags, drive axles is 10%. The taxes are intended to encourage cars to be manufactured or assembled in India, rather than be imported as completely built units.<ref>{{cite journal |last=Mondal |first=Dipak |title=Going Native |url=http://businesstoday.intoday.in/story/luxury-carmakers-increasing-use-of-india-made-components/1/220534.html |date=5 July 2015 |journal=[[Business Today (business magazine)|Business Today]] |access-date=30 June 2015}}</ref>

=== Sub-4-metre rule ===
In 2006, the government of India imposed a new tax structure, which massively impacted the segment. It enables vehicles shorter than {{convert|4.0|m|in|1}} to qualify for a significantly lower excise duty, which is 8 percent as opposed to 20 percent for longer vehicles.<ref>{{cite web|date=2016-01-25|title=Why Everyone is going below 4-Meters|url=https://www.spinny.com/blog/index.php/why-everyone-is-going-below-4-meters/|access-date=2021-06-19|website=Spinny Blog|language=en-US}}</ref> [[Tata Motors]] was the first to exploit the new tax structure, which redesigned the rear portion of the [[Tata Indigo|Indigo]] sedan, dropping its length to {{cvt|3988|mm|in|1}} and renamed it as the Indigo CS.<ref>{{cite web|last=Rawuther|first=Afzal|title=The impact of lower taxation on sub-four meter cars|url=https://www.evoindia.com/features/the-impact-of-lower-taxation-on-sub-four-meter-cars|access-date=2021-06-19|website=Evo India|date=7 May 2020 |language=en}}</ref> The model became significantly cheaper, becoming one of the largest selling three-box cars in the country.<ref>{{cite web|last=Kotwal|first=Shapur|date=2011-07-21|title=The four-metre race|url=https://www.livemint.com/Politics/veGtDCQaaJgStkq4Ag5K8L/The-fourmetre-race.html|url-status=live|access-date=2021-06-19|website=Livemint|language=en|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120913235405/http://www.livemint.com:80/Politics/veGtDCQaaJgStkq4Ag5K8L/The-fourmetre-race.html |archive-date=13 September 2012 }}</ref> Other manufacturers quickly adapted, which led to the release of the shorter [[Suzuki Dzire|Suzuki Swift Dzire]], the [[Honda Amaze|Honda Brio Amaze]], and others.<ref>{{cite web|date=2015-08-06|title=The four-meter curse: How the compact sedan segment evolved|url=https://www.cartoq.com/the-four-meter-curse-how-the-compact-sedan-segment-evolved/|url-status=live|access-date=2021-06-19|website=Cartoq|language=en-US|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20150808232546/http://www.cartoq.com:80/the-four-meter-curse-how-the-compact-sedan-segment-evolved |archive-date=8 August 2015 }}</ref>

==Manufacturing facilities==

The majority of India's car manufacturing industry is evenly divided into three "clusters". In the year 2010, around [[Chennai]] was the largest, with a 35% revenue share, accounting for 60% of the country's automotive exports, and home of the operations of Engine Factory Avadi, [[Ford India Private Limited|Ford]], [[Hyundai Motor India Limited|Hyundai]], [[Renault India Private Limited|Renault]], [[Nissan Motor India Private Limited|Nissan]], [[BMW India|BMW]], [[Daimler AG|Daimler]], [[Caparo]], [[Mini (marque)|Mini]], and [[Citroën]].<ref>{{cite web |author=Jayashankar Menon |url=http://automotivehorizon.sulekha.com/south-emerges-largest-automotive-cluster-in-india_12_2010_postedby_jayashankar-menon |title=South emerges largest auto cluster in India |publisher=Sulekha.com |date=11 December 2010 |access-date=7 November 2011 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://archive.today/20120707185024/http://automotivehorizon.sulekha.com/south-emerges-largest-automotive-cluster-in-india_12_2010_postedby_jayashankar-menon |archive-date=7 July 2012}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.thehindubusinessline.com/2007/10/19/stories/2007101951332300.htm |title=CII launches Chennai zone |publisher=The Hindu Business Line |date=19 October 2007 |access-date=28 November 2010}}</ref>

In 2025, India became world's third largest manufacturer of vehicles, and exported 50% of its two-wheeler production.<ref name=bumb1/> India's automobile exports have grown consistently and reached $4.5 billion in 2009, with the United Kingdom being India's largest export market, followed by Italy, Germany, the Netherlands, and South Africa.<ref name="ETcars">{{cite news|url=http://economictimes.indiatimes.com/news/news-by-industry/auto/automobiles/Britain-Indias-largest-automobile-export-market/articleshow/6683826.cms |title=Britain India's largest automobile export market |publisher=Economictimes.indiatimes.com |date=4 October 2010 |access-date=28 November 2010 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20101124110746/http://economictimes.indiatimes.com/news/news-by-industry/auto/automobiles/Britain-Indias-largest-automobile-export-market/articleshow/6683826.cms |archive-date=24 November 2010 }}</ref>

According to ''[[The New York Times]]'', India's strong engineering base and expertise in the manufacturing of low-cost, fuel-efficient cars has resulted in the expansion of manufacturing facilities of several automobile companies like [[Hyundai Motor India|Hyundai]], [[Nissan]], [[Toyota Kirloskar|Toyota]], [[Volkswagen]], and [[Maruti Suzuki]].<ref>{{cite news|last=Kurczewski |first=Nick |url=https://www.nytimes.com/2009/06/28/automobiles/28INDIA.html |title=More Cars Are Coming From India |location=India |work=The New York Times |date=26 June 2009 |access-date=3 April 2011}}</ref>

In recent years, India has emerged as a leading center for the manufacture of small cars. [[Maruti Suzuki]] and [[Hyundai Motor Company|Hyundai]] are the two biggest exporters of cars from the country. [[Nissan]] also exports small cars from its Indian assembly line. [[Tata Motors]] exports its passenger vehicles to several Asian and African markets. In the 2000s, [[Mahindra & Mahindra]] prepared to introduce its pickup trucks and small [[SUV]] models in the U.S. market, but canceled its plans. As of 2019, it is assembling and selling an off-road vehicle ([[Mahindra Roxor]]; not certified for road use) in limited numbers in the U.S.<ref>[https://www.autoblog.com/2019/03/14/mahindra-roxor-us-market/ How Mahindra plans to grow in U.S. with 'India tough' Roxor off-roader]</ref> It is also sold in Canada. While the possibilities for the Indian automobile industry are impressive, there are challenges that could thwart future growth. Since the demand for automobiles in recent years is directly linked to overall economic expansion and rising personal incomes, industry growth will slow if the economy weakens.<ref name="thomaswhite.com">{{cite web |date=26 February 2010 |title=India Automobiles; Car Industry in India |work=Thomas White International |url=http://www.thomaswhite.com/global-perspectives/automobiles-sector-in-india-fast-growth/ |access-date=28 November 2010 |publisher=Thomaswhite.com}}</ref>

Indian companies such as [[JCBL India Auto Moto(automotive spare parts exporter)|JCBL India Auto Moto]], a part of the [[JCBL Group]], contribute to India's growing [[Automotive industry in India|aftermarket automotive sector]] by manufacturing and exporting replacement components for global markets. The company supplies compatible spare parts for passenger vehicles from brands including [[Hyundai Motor Company|Hyundai]], [[Maruti Suzuki]], [[Mahindra & Mahindra|Mahindra]], [[Tata Motors Passenger Vehicles|Tata Motors]], [[Nissan Motor India|Nissan]], [[Chevrolet]], [[Renault India Private Limited|Renault]], and [[Honda Cars India|Honda]], supporting international aftermarket supply chains.

Electric cars are seen as economical long-term investments, as one doesn't need to purchase gas, but needs only to recharge the battery, using renewable energy sources. According to the [[United States Department of Energy]], electric cars produce half as much {{CO2}} emissions as compared to a gas-powered car.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.energy.gov/eere/electricvehicles/electric-vehicles|title=Electric Vehicles {{!}} Department of Energy|website=www.energy.gov|language=en|access-date=2018-12-02}}</ref> According to ''[[The Economic Times]]'', 60% of Indian customers expect fuel prices to go up in the next 12 months and 58% expect to buy a new car in the same time frame. Most consumers are looking to buy a car which gives good mileage. According to the same source, 68% of Asian drivers expect higher mileage from their cars due to the higher fuel prices. This has encouraged 38% of Indian automobile consumers to switch to electric or hybrid cars.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://auto.economictimes.indiatimes.com/news/industry/what-indian-consumers-prefer-the-most-while-buying-a-car/53825945|title=What Indian consumers prefer the most while buying a car? - ET Auto|last=www.ETAuto.com|website=ETAuto.com|language=en|access-date=2018-12-02}}</ref> Due to this change in the market, many companies, such as Toyota, have planned to introduce electric vehicles in India; and Suzuki has tested almost 50 electric prototypes in India already, according to [[Mashable]]. In 2019, Hyundai launched India's first electric car, the Kona Electric .<ref>{{Cite news|url=https://mashable.com/article/india-electric-vehicles-clean-energy/#uHd7eIiKGaqb|title=Electric cars in India to get a boost with new clean energy policy|last=Lekach|first=Sasha|work=Mashable|access-date=2018-12-02|language=en}}</ref>

== Growth initiatives ==
{{expand section|date=September 2021}}

===Automotive Research Association of India (ARAI) and standards===

The [[Government of India]] felt the need for a permanent agency to expedite the publication of standards and development of test facilities<ref>{{cite web|url=https://araiindia.com/hmr/Control/AIS/68201793238AMFinal_Draft_AIS_140.pdf|title=ARAI Draft AIS 140}}</ref> in parallel with the work of the preparation of the standards - as the development of improved safety critical parts could be undertaken only after the publication of the standard and commissioning of test facilities. The [[Ministry of Surface Transport]] (MoST) constituted a permanent [[Automotive industry|Automotive]] Industry Standards Committee (AISC) . The Standards prepared by AISC will be approved by the permanent CMVR Technical Standing Committee (CTSC). After approval, the [[Automotive Research Association of India]] (ARAI)<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.araiindia.com/|title=ARAI website}}</ref> will publish this standard.{{citation needed |date=September 2021}}

[[Intelligent transport systems|Intelligent Transport Systems]] (ITS) are globally proven systems to optimize the utilization of existing transport infrastructure and improve transportation systems in terms of efficiency, quality, comfort and safety. Having realized the potential of ITS, Government bodies and other organizations in India are presently working towards implementing various components of ITS across the country.{{citation needed |date=September 2021}}

The first step taken for creation and implementation of ITS was holding a National Workshop titled "User Requirements for Interactive ITS Architecture",<ref>{{cite web|url=https://araiindia.com/hmr/Control/AIS/921201744153PMAIS-140.pdf|title=National Workshop}}</ref> which was conducted as a collaboration between SIAM and ASRTU on 26 & 27 February 2015. This was primarily focused on ITS in [[Bus|Public Bus Transportation]]. Nonetheless, the workshop helped to create the outline for "National Intelligent Transport System Architecture and Policy for Public Transport (Bus)", which was submitted by ASRTU and SIAM to the government{{citation needed |date=September 2021}}

In the 44th & 45th CMVR-TSC, Chairman had directed - standardization activities to be initiated on Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS) - [[Location|Vehicle Location Tracking]], [[Camera]] Surveillance System and [[Panic button|Emergency Request Button]]. The committee intended to extend the above user requirements to all public transportation namely –buses, taxis, etc. The current document covers the requirements for Vehicle Location Tracking and Emergency Button. The other ITS components like PIS, CCTV system, Fare collection etc. are deliberated and would be addressed in later phase and could be added as separate parts to the current document.{{citation needed |date=September 2021}}

Based on these directions, the AISC Panel on ITS has prepared this AIS-140 titled,"[[Intelligent transportation system|Intelligent Transportation Systems]] (ITS) - Requirements for [[Public transport|Public Transport]] Vehicle Operation". The panel also deliberated and identified the necessary elements for an effective implementation of vehicle level ITS system.{{citation needed |date=September 2021}}

For AIS-140 Devices, in [[India]], connectivity to report location, and Emergency [[Panic button|Panic Button]] signal is through wireless [[Cellular network|cellular connectivity]]. There are device focused Cellular Connectivity Offerings like 'eSIM4Things<ref name=":0">{{cite web|url=http://www.esim4things.com|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20210301222607/http://esim4things.com/|url-status=dead|archive-date=1 March 2021|title=eSIM4things}}</ref>' available in India, which cater to connectivity requirements of AIS-140 devices.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://telecom.economictimes.indiatimes.com/news/bsnl-aerovoyce-plintron-team-up-for-first-mvno-service-plan-starts-at-rs-29-a-month/65121576|title=BSNL ropes in Plintron to launch pan-India MVNO service}}</ref> eSIM4Things<ref name=":0" /> is fully compatible with all AIS-140 devices and with a connectivity manager and a range of tariff plans.

[[File:First Car Showroon secunderabd.jpeg|thumb|left|A pre-Independence car showroom in [[Secunderabad]], showing [[Fiat 500 "Topolino"|Fiat Topolino]] and [[Fiat 1100 (1937)|Fiat 1100]] ]]
[[File:KolkataTraffic1945.jpg|thumb|left|Kolkata street traffic in 1945]]

In 1897, the first car ran on an Indian road. Through the 1930s, cars were imports only, and in small numbers.

An embryonic automotive industry emerged in India in the 1940s. [[Hindustan Motors]] was launched in 1942 building [[Morris Motors|Morris]] products, long-time competitor [[Premier Automobiles Limited|Premier]] in 1944, building [[Chrysler Corporation]] products such as [[Dodge]] and [[Plymouth (automobile)|Plymouth]], and beginning in the 1960s, [[Fiat]] products.<ref name="pip1">[[#TapPip|Piplai]], p. 2892</ref> [[Mahindra & Mahindra Limited|Mahindra & Mahindra]] was established by two brothers in 1945 and began assembly of [[CJ-3|Jeep CJ-3A]] utility vehicles. In the same years, [[J. R. D. Tata]], the chairman of [[Tata Group]] founded [[TATA Engineering and Locomotive Company]] (now [[Tata Motors]]) in [[Jamshedpur]]. Following [[Indian independence movement|independence]] in 1947, the Government of India and the [[private sector]] launched efforts to create an automotive-component manufacturing industry to supply to the automobile industry. In 1953, an import substitution programme was launched, and the import of fully built-up cars began to be restricted.<ref name="pip1" />

{{anchor|Raj|1952|Tariff}}

====The 1952 Tariff Commission====
In 1952, the Indian government appointed the first Tariff Commission, whose purpose was to come out with a feasibility plan for the '''indigenization of the Indian automobile''' industry. In 1953, the commission submitted its report, which recommended categorizing existing Indian car companies according to their manufacturing infrastructure, under a licensed capacity to manufacture a certain number of vehicles, with capacity increases allowable, as per demands, in the future. The Tariff Commission recommendations were implemented with new policies that would eventually exclude companies that only imported parts for assembly, as well as those with no Indian partner. In 1954, following the Tariff Commission implementation, [[General Motors]], [[Ford Motor Company|Ford]], and [[Rootes Group]], which had assembly-only plants in [[Mumbai]], decided to move out of India.<ref name="Autocar Professional India">{{Citation | title = The rise of the automobile in free India | location = Mumbai (Bombay) | url = http://www.autocarpro.in/features/rise-automobile-free-india-9078 | publisher = Autocar Professional India }}</ref>

The Tariff commission policies by the then [[Indian National Congress]]-led government, including similar restrictions that applied to other industries, came to be known as the [[Licence Raj]], which proved to be the greatest undoing of the Indian automotive industry, where bureaucratic red tape ended up causing demand to outstrip supply, with month-long, even year-long waiting periods for cars, scooters, and motorcycles.

;Passenger cars
*[[Hindustan Motors]] was established in Kolkata in technical collaboration with [[Morris Motors]] to manufacture Morris Oxford models that would later become HM Ambassador.
* Addisons, Madras – An [[Amalgamations Group]] company, was the agent for [[Nuffield Organization|Nuffield's]] Morris, Wolseley, and Riley cars, and Chrysler's [[Plymouth (automobile)|Plymouth]], [[Dodge]], and De Soto cars and trucks. The first [[Morris Minor]] assembled in India and the first car assembled in Madras was driven out from Addison's twin-plants on Smith Road by Anantharamakrishnan on 15 November 1950.<ref>{{Cite news |date=9 June 2014 |title=An opportunity missed |language=en-IN |work=The Hindu |url=https://www.thehindu.com/todays-paper/tp-features/tp-metroplus/an-opportunity-missed/article6095446.ece |access-date=3 July 2018 |issn=0971-751X}}</ref>

However, growth was relatively slow in the 1950s and 1960s, due to nationalisation and the [[license raj]], which hampered the growth of the Indian private sector.

===1970 to 1983===
[[File:Maruti 800 first.jpg|thumb|[[Maruti 800]], launched in 1983.]]

The beginning of the 1970s did not see growth potential; and most of the collaboration license agreements came to an end, but with the option to continue manufacturing with renewed branding. Cars were still meant for the elite and Jeeps, now owned by [[American Motors Corporation]], were largely used by government organizations and in some rural regions. By the end of the decade, some developments were made in commercial vehicle segments to facilitate the movement of goods. The two-wheeler segment remained unchanged except for increased sales to the middle class in urban areas. There was an emphasis on having more farm tractors, as India was embarking on a new [[Green Revolution in India|Green Revolution]]; and Russian and Eastern bloc imports were brought in to meet the demand.

But after 1970, with restrictions on the import of vehicles set, the automotive industry started to grow; but the growth was mainly driven by tractors, commercial vehicles, and scooters. Cars still remained a major luxury item. In the 1970s, [[price controls]] were finally lifted, inserting a competitive element into the automobile market.<ref>{{cite journal | ref = CBR | last = Bhaktavatsala Rao | first = C. | title = Structural Configurations and Strategic Investments: Indian Automobile Industry | journal = Economic and Political Weekly | number = 8/9 | volume = 28 | location = Mumbai, India | publisher = Sameeksha Trust | page = M21 | date = 1993-02-20 }}</ref> However, by the 1980s, the automobile market was still dominated by [[Hindustan Motors|Hindustan]] and [[Premier Automobiles Limited|Premier]], who sold superannuated products in fairly limited numbers.<ref name="unconvincing">{{cite journal | title = Automobile Industry: Unconvincing Explanations | journal = Economic and Political Weekly | number = 16 | volume = XX | location = Mumbai, India | publisher = Sameeksha Trust | page = 669 | date = 1985-04-20 }}</ref> The rate of car ownership in 1981 was about one in every thousand citizens – understandable when the annual road tax alone cost about half the [[Per capita income|average income]] of an Indian at the time.<ref name="AC4459a">{{cite magazine | ref = VR1 | magazine = [[Autocar (magazine)|Autocar]] | title = Motoring for the millions | first = Vaughan | last = Robinson | publisher = IPC Business Press Ltd. | page = 22 | date = 1982-06-05 | volume = 156 | number = 4459 }}</ref>

During the eighties, a few competitors began to arrive on the scene. Of the 30,487 cars built in India in 1980, all but six came from the two main players Hindustan and Premier: [[Standard (Indian automobile)|Standard]] had led a shadow existence in the latter half of the 1970s, producing only a handful of cars to keep their license active.<ref name="AC4459a" /> A new contender was tiny [[Sipani]], which had tried building locally developed three-wheeled vehicles since 1975 but introduced the [[Reliant Kitten]]-based Dolphin in 1982. Nonetheless, all eyes were on [[Maruti Suzuki|Maruti]], which caused a major upheaval to the Indian automobile industry.<ref name="AC4459a" />

The OPEC oil crisis saw increased need to install or redesign some vehicle to fit diesel engines on medium commercial vehicle. Until the early 1970s Mahindra Jeeps were on [[Petrol]] and Premier commercial vehicles had Petrol model options. The Defence sector too had most trucks on Petrol engines.

===1984 to 1992===
[[File:CBRN Recce vehicle during Republic Day Parade 2017.jpg|thumb|Chemical Biological Radiological and Nuclear Reconnaissance Vehicle (CBRN-RV)
manufactured by the [[Armoured Vehicles Nigam|AVANI]] ]]

From the end of the 1970s to the beginning of the 1980s India saw no new models, the country continuing to depend on two decades-old designs. The Sipani Dolphin, which arrived in 1982, was not a serious contender, with its plastic body and without rear doors - essential to Indian car buyers. This situation forced the government to encourage and let more manufacturers into fray.

In 1984 [[Armoured Vehicles Nigam|AVANI]] was established in Medak near Hyderabad. It started manufacturing [[Infantry fighting vehicle|Infantry Combat Vehicles]] christened as ''Sarath'', the backbone of India's mechanised infantry. [[Armoured Vehicles Nigam|AVANI]] is still the only manufacturing facility of ICVs in India. To manufacture the high-power engines used in ICVs and main battle tanks, the Engine Factory was set up in 1987 in Avadi, near Chennai. In 1986, to promote the auto industry, the government established the [[Delhi auto expo|Delhi Auto Expo]]. The 1986 Expo was a showcase for how the Indian automotive industry was absorbing new technologies, promoting indigenous research and development, and adapting these technologies for the rugged conditions of India.

===Post-1992 liberalisation===
[[File:Indica DLX diesel.jpg|thumb|[[Tata Indica]], launched in 1998]]

Eventually multinational automakers such as [[Suzuki]] and [[Toyota]] of Japan and [[Hyundai Motor Company|Hyundai]] and [[Daewoo Motors]] of South Korea were allowed to invest in the Indian market, furthering the establishment of an automotive industry in India. [[Maruti Suzuki]] was the first and the most successful of these new entries, in part the result of government policies to promote the automotive industry beginning in the 1980s.<ref name="unconvincing" /> As India began to liberalise its automobile market in 1991, a number of foreign firms also initiated joint ventures with existing Indian companies. The variety of options available to the consumer began to multiply in the nineties, whereas before there had usually only been one option in each price class. By 2000, there were 12 large automotive companies in the Indian market, most of them offshoots of global companies.<ref>[[#TapPip|Piplai]], p. 2893</ref>

====Slow export growth====
Exports were slow to grow. Sales of small numbers of vehicles to tertiary markets and neighbouring countries began early, and in 1987 Maruti Suzuki shipped 480 cars to Europe (Hungary). After some growth in the mid-nineties, exports once again began to drop as the outmoded platforms provided to Indian manufacturers by multinationals were not competitive.<ref>[[#TapPip|Piplai]], pp. 2894-2895</ref> This was not to last, and today India manufactures low-priced cars for markets across the globe. As of 18 March 2013, global brands such as [[Proton (automobile)|Proton Holdings]], [[PSA Group]], [[Kia]], [[Mazda]], [[Chrysler]], [[Dodge]] and [[Geely Holding Group]] were shelving plans for India due to the competitiveness of the market, as well as the global economic crisis.

====Emission norms====
In 2000, in line with international standards to reduce vehicular pollution, the central government unveiled standards titled "India 2000", with later, upgraded guidelines to be known as [[Bharat Stage emission standards]]. These standards are quite similar to the stringent [[European emission standards]] and have been implemented in a phased manner.

[[BS IV|Bharat Stage IV]] (BS-IV) was first implemented in 13 cities — Agra, Ahmedabad, Bengaluru, Chennai, Delhi (NCR), Kanpur, Kolkata, Lucknow, Hyderabad, Mumbai, Pune, Surat, Solapur — in April 2010, and then in the rest of the nation in April 2017.

In 2019, in line with international standards to reduce vehicular pollution, the central government of India announced the introduction of [[Bharat stage emission standards|BS-VI norms]] to control air pollution, taking effect from 1 April 2020.<ref>{{Cite news|date=2 April 2020|title=Amid lockdown, India switches to BS-VI emission norms|newspaper=The Hindu|url=https://www.thehindu.com/news/national/amid-lockdown-india-switches-to-bs-vi-emission-norms/article31231973.ece}}</ref>

===Local manufacturing push===
[[File:Mahindra BE6 pic 1.jpg|thumb|[[Mahindra BE 6|Mahindra BE6]], launched in 2024]]
India levies an import tax of 125% on foreign imported cars, while the import tax on components such as gearboxes, airbags, drive axles is 10%. The taxes are intended to encourage cars to be manufactured or assembled in India, rather than be imported as completely built units.<ref>{{cite journal |last=Mondal |first=Dipak |title=Going Native |url=http://businesstoday.intoday.in/story/luxury-carmakers-increasing-use-of-india-made-components/1/220534.html |date=5 July 2015 |journal=[[Business Today (business magazine)|Business Today]] |access-date=30 June 2015}}</ref>

=== Sub-4-metre rule ===
In 2006, the government of India imposed a new tax structure, which massively impacted the segment. It enables vehicles shorter than {{convert|4.0|m|in|1}} to qualify for a significantly lower excise duty, which is 8 percent as opposed to 20 percent for longer vehicles.<ref>{{cite web|date=2016-01-25|title=Why Everyone is going below 4-Meters|url=https://www.spinny.com/blog/index.php/why-everyone-is-going-below-4-meters/|access-date=2021-06-19|website=Spinny Blog|language=en-US}}</ref> [[Tata Motors]] was the first to exploit the new tax structure, which redesigned the rear portion of the [[Tata Indigo|Indigo]] sedan, dropping its length to {{cvt|3988|mm|in|1}} and renamed it as the Indigo CS.<ref>{{cite web|last=Rawuther|first=Afzal|title=The impact of lower taxation on sub-four meter cars|url=https://www.evoindia.com/features/the-impact-of-lower-taxation-on-sub-four-meter-cars|access-date=2021-06-19|website=Evo India|date=7 May 2020 |language=en}}</ref> The model became significantly cheaper, becoming one of the largest selling three-box cars in the country.<ref>{{cite web|last=Kotwal|first=Shapur|date=2011-07-21|title=The four-metre race|url=https://www.livemint.com/Politics/veGtDCQaaJgStkq4Ag5K8L/The-fourmetre-race.html|url-status=live|access-date=2021-06-19|website=Livemint|language=en|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120913235405/http://www.livemint.com:80/Politics/veGtDCQaaJgStkq4Ag5K8L/The-fourmetre-race.html |archive-date=13 September 2012 }}</ref> Other manufacturers quickly adapted, which led to the release of the shorter [[Suzuki Dzire|Suzuki Swift Dzire]], the [[Honda Amaze|Honda Brio Amaze]], and others.<ref>{{cite web|date=2015-08-06|title=The four-meter curse: How the compact sedan segment evolved|url=https://www.cartoq.com/the-four-meter-curse-how-the-compact-sedan-segment-evolved/|url-status=live|access-date=2021-06-19|website=Cartoq|language=en-US|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20150808232546/http://www.cartoq.com:80/the-four-meter-curse-how-the-compact-sedan-segment-evolved |archive-date=8 August 2015 }}</ref>

The majority of India's car manufacturing industry is evenly divided into three "clusters". In the year 2010, around [[Chennai]] was the largest, with a 35% revenue share, accounting for 60% of the country's automotive exports, and home of the operations of Engine Factory Avadi, [[Ford India Private Limited|Ford]], [[Hyundai Motor India Limited|Hyundai]], [[Renault India Private Limited|Renault]], [[Nissan Motor India Private Limited|Nissan]], [[BMW India|BMW]], [[Daimler AG|Daimler]], [[Caparo]], [[Mini (marque)|Mini]], and [[Citroën]].<ref>{{cite web |author=Jayashankar Menon |url=http://automotivehorizon.sulekha.com/south-emerges-largest-automotive-cluster-in-india_12_2010_postedby_jayashankar-menon |title=South emerges largest auto cluster in India |publisher=Sulekha.com |date=11 December 2010 |access-date=7 November 2011 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://archive.today/20120707185024/http://automotivehorizon.sulekha.com/south-emerges-largest-automotive-cluster-in-india_12_2010_postedby_jayashankar-menon |archive-date=7 July 2012}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.thehindubusinessline.com/2007/10/19/stories/2007101951332300.htm |title=CII launches Chennai zone |publisher=The Hindu Business Line |date=19 October 2007 |access-date=28 November 2010}}</ref>

In 2025, India became world's third largest manufacturer of vehicles, and exported 50% of its two-wheeler production.<ref name=bumb1/> India's automobile exports have grown consistently and reached $4.5 billion in 2009, with the United Kingdom being India's largest export market, followed by Italy, Germany, the Netherlands, and South Africa.<ref name="ETcars">{{cite news|url=http://economictimes.indiatimes.com/news/news-by-industry/auto/automobiles/Britain-Indias-largest-automobile-export-market/articleshow/6683826.cms |title=Britain India's largest automobile export market |publisher=Economictimes.indiatimes.com |date=4 October 2010 |access-date=28 November 2010 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20101124110746/http://economictimes.indiatimes.com/news/news-by-industry/auto/automobiles/Britain-Indias-largest-automobile-export-market/articleshow/6683826.cms |archive-date=24 November 2010 }}</ref>

According to ''[[The New York Times]]'', India's strong engineering base and expertise in the manufacturing of low-cost, fuel-efficient cars has resulted in the expansion of manufacturing facilities of several automobile companies like [[Hyundai Motor India|Hyundai]], [[Nissan]], [[Toyota Kirloskar|Toyota]], [[Volkswagen]], and [[Maruti Suzuki]].<ref>{{cite news|last=Kurczewski |first=Nick |url=https://www.nytimes.com/2009/06/28/automobiles/28INDIA.html |title=More Cars Are Coming From India |location=India |work=The New York Times |date=26 June 2009 |access-date=3 April 2011}}</ref>

In recent years, India has emerged as a leading center for the manufacture of small cars. [[Maruti Suzuki]] and [[Hyundai Motor Company|Hyundai]] are the two biggest exporters of cars from the country. [[Nissan]] also exports small cars from its Indian assembly line. [[Tata Motors]] exports its passenger vehicles to several Asian and African markets. In the 2000s, [[Mahindra & Mahindra]] prepared to introduce its pickup trucks and small [[SUV]] models in the U.S. market, but canceled its plans. As of 2019, it is assembling and selling an off-road vehicle ([[Mahindra Roxor]]; not certified for road use) in limited numbers in the U.S.<ref>[https://www.autoblog.com/2019/03/14/mahindra-roxor-us-market/ How Mahindra plans to grow in U.S. with 'India tough' Roxor off-roader]</ref> It is also sold in Canada. While the possibilities for the Indian automobile industry are impressive, there are challenges that could thwart future growth. Since the demand for automobiles in recent years is directly linked to overall economic expansion and rising personal incomes, industry growth will slow if the economy weakens.<ref name="thomaswhite.com">{{cite web |date=26 February 2010 |title=India Automobiles; Car Industry in India |work=Thomas White International |url=http://www.thomaswhite.com/global-perspectives/automobiles-sector-in-india-fast-growth/ |access-date=28 November 2010 |publisher=Thomaswhite.com}}</ref>

During April 2012, the Indian government planned to unveil the road map for the development of domestic electric and hybrid vehicles (xEV) in the country.<ref name="thehindubusinessline.com">{{cite web|author=Roudra Bhattacharya |url=http://www.thehindubusinessline.com/industry-and-economy/article2900639.ece |title=Electric vehicles policy rollout likely in April | Business Line |publisher=Thehindubusinessline.com |date=2012-02-16 |access-date=2013-10-13}}</ref> A discussion between the various stakeholders, including Government, industry, and academia, was expected to take place during 23–24 February.<ref name="thehindubusinessline.com"/> The final contours of the policy would have been formed after this set of discussions. Ministries such as Petroleum, Finance, Road Transport, and Power are involved in developing a broad framework for the sector. Along with these ministries, auto industry executives, such as [[Anand Mahindra]] (Vice Chairman and managing director, Mahindra & Mahindra) and Vikram Kirloskar (Vice-chairman, Toyota Kirloskar), were involved in this task.<ref name="thehindubusinessline.com"/> The Government has also proposed to set up a Rs 740 crore research and development fund for the sector in the 12th five-year plan during 2012–17.<ref name="thehindubusinessline.com"/> The idea is to reduce the high cost of key imported components such as the battery and electric motor, and to develop such capabilities locally.

Electric cars are seen as economical long-term investments, as one doesn't need to purchase gas, but needs only to recharge the battery, using renewable energy sources. According to the [[United States Department of Energy]], electric cars produce half as much {{CO2}} emissions as compared to a gas-powered car.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.energy.gov/eere/electricvehicles/electric-vehicles|title=Electric Vehicles {{!}} Department of Energy|website=www.energy.gov|language=en|access-date=2018-12-02}}</ref> According to ''[[The Economic Times]]'', 60% of Indian customers expect fuel prices to go up in the next 12 months and 58% expect to buy a new car in the same time frame. Most consumers are looking to buy a car which gives good mileage. According to the same source, 68% of Asian drivers expect higher mileage from their cars due to the higher fuel prices. This has encouraged 38% of Indian automobile consumers to switch to electric or hybrid cars.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://auto.economictimes.indiatimes.com/news/industry/what-indian-consumers-prefer-the-most-while-buying-a-car/53825945|title=What Indian consumers prefer the most while buying a car? - ET Auto|last=www.ETAuto.com|website=ETAuto.com|language=en|access-date=2018-12-02}}</ref> Due to this change in the market, many companies, such as Toyota, have planned to introduce electric vehicles in India; and Suzuki has tested almost 50 electric prototypes in India already, according to [[Mashable]].

== Automotive Spare Parts Manufacturers in India ==
India has one of the world's largest automotive markets, with millions of new [[car|passenger vehicles]], commercial vehicles, motorcycles, and tractors entering service each year. At the same time, a significant number of existing vehicles continue to operate well beyond their original production years. As these vehicles accumulate mileage, their components are subject to wear from regular use, operating conditions, and environmental factors, creating an ongoing need for maintenance, repair, and replacement parts. This has contributed to the steady growth of the [[Automotive Component Manufacturers Association of India|automotive aftermarket]] and increased demand for replacement automotive components in both domestic and international markets.

The industry manufactures a wide range of components used for routine servicing, repairs, reconditioning, accident restoration, and vehicle rebuilding. These products are supplied through established distribution networks to wholesalers, distributors, importers, retailers, workshops, fleet operators, and other businesses involved in the automotive supply chain.

===JCBL India Auto Moto===

===Automotive Research Association of India (ARAI) and standards===

The [[Government of India]] felt the need for a permanent agency to expedite the publication of standards and development of test facilities<ref>{{cite web|url=https://araiindia.com/hmr/Control/AIS/68201793238AMFinal_Draft_AIS_140.pdf|title=ARAI Draft AIS 140}}</ref> in parallel with the work of the preparation of the standards - as the development of improved safety critical parts could be undertaken only after the publication of the standard and commissioning of test facilities. The [[Ministry of Surface Transport]] (MoST) constituted a permanent [[Automotive industry|Automotive]] Industry Standards Committee (AISC) . The Standards prepared by AISC will be approved by the permanent CMVR Technical Standing Committee (CTSC). After approval, the [[Automotive Research Association of India]] (ARAI)<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.araiindia.com/|title=ARAI website}}</ref> will publish this standard.{{citation needed |date=September 2021}}

[[Intelligent transport systems|Intelligent Transport Systems]] (ITS) are globally proven systems to optimize the utilization of existing transport infrastructure and improve transportation systems in terms of efficiency, quality, comfort and safety. Having realized the potential of ITS, Government bodies and other organizations in India are presently working towards implementing various components of ITS across the country.{{citation needed |date=September 2021}}

The first step taken for creation and implementation of ITS was holding a National Workshop titled "User Requirements for Interactive ITS Architecture",<ref>{{cite web|url=https://araiindia.com/hmr/Control/AIS/921201744153PMAIS-140.pdf|title=National Workshop}}</ref> which was conducted as a collaboration between SIAM and ASRTU on 26 & 27 February 2015. This was primarily focused on ITS in [[Bus|Public Bus Transportation]]. Nonetheless, the workshop helped to create the outline for "National Intelligent Transport System Architecture and Policy for Public Transport (Bus)", which was submitted by ASRTU and SIAM to the government{{citation needed |date=September 2021}}

In the 44th & 45th CMVR-TSC, Chairman had directed - standardization activities to be initiated on Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS) - [[Location|Vehicle Location Tracking]], [[Camera]] Surveillance System and [[Panic button|Emergency Request Button]]. The committee intended to extend the above user requirements to all public transportation namely –buses, taxis, etc. The current document covers the requirements for Vehicle Location Tracking and Emergency Button. The other ITS components like PIS, CCTV system, Fare collection etc. are deliberated and would be addressed in later phase and could be added as separate parts to the current document.{{citation needed |date=September 2021}}

Based on these directions, the AISC Panel on ITS has prepared this AIS-140 titled,"[[Intelligent transportation system|Intelligent Transportation Systems]] (ITS) - Requirements for [[Public transport|Public Transport]] Vehicle Operation". The panel also deliberated and identified the necessary elements for an effective implementation of vehicle level ITS system.{{citation needed |date=September 2021}}

For AIS-140 Devices, in [[India]], connectivity to report location, and Emergency [[Panic button|Panic Button]] signal is through wireless [[Cellular network|cellular connectivity]]. There are device focused Cellular Connectivity Offerings like 'eSIM4Things<ref name=":0">{{cite web|url=http://www.esim4things.com|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20210301222607/http://esim4things.com/|url-status=dead|archive-date=1 March 2021|title=eSIM4things}}</ref>' available in India, which cater to connectivity requirements of AIS-140 devices.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://telecom.economictimes.indiatimes.com/news/bsnl-aerovoyce-plintron-team-up-for-first-mvno-service-plan-starts-at-rs-29-a-month/65121576|title=BSNL ropes in Plintron to launch pan-India MVNO service}}</ref> eSIM4Things<ref name=":0" /> is fully compatible with all AIS-140 devices and with a connectivity manager and a range of tariff plans.
