Need some moreIndian auto component industry is one of the sectors with distinct global competitive advantages in terms of cost and quality. The industry has low labour cost, considerable manpower and quality assurance. However, consistency of the quality is a challenge.
Best way forward is to keep and improve the labour and quality advantage. For that, to skill up the manpower available in India is needed.
