 BUSINESS PERFORMANCE
 
 India’s economic scenario has passed through a systematic transition
 from being a closed to an open economy since the beginning of economic
 reforms in 1991. These reforms have had a far-reaching impact and have
 unleashed its enormous growth potential. Today, the Indian economy has
 grown to become a trillion dollar economy with a largely
 self-sufficient agricultural sector, a diversified industrial base and
 a stable financial and services sector.1
 
 After the gloom of global economic crisis, Indian economy has well
 recovered at a steady pace during the last Financial Year (FY) 2010-11
 2 and has so far vastly exceeded expectations. Apparently, the Gross
 Domestic Product (GDP) is estimated to have grown at 8.60% during the
 FY 2010-11 (in real terms) and further is likely to touch the figure of
 9.00% during the next FY 2011-12.3
 
 Consequently, due to strong linkages with the economy, introduction of
 the liberalization policy, various tax reliefs by the Government of
 India and rapid growth in industrialization process in recent years,
 the Indian Automobile Industry has made a remarkable growth. It has
 recorded a noteworthy Production Growth of 27%, as compared to the last
 year. India is expected to become the world''s 7th largest automobile
 market by 2016 and third largest by 2030. Further, the total sales are
 expected to reach US$ 120 -160 Billion by 2016 and the investment
 requirement is estimated to be US$ 35-40 Billion.4

 future. As per ACMA Vision 2020 for India the Indian Auto Component
