Another compelling testimony to India’s growing importance is its emergence as an International production hub and an advancing market. Interestingly, its not only volume car makers who want a share of the Indian pie, but also luxury majors such as Audi and Rolls Royce, which have made forays to tap into the great Indian auto opportunity.

-->> DID ANYONE SAY, DRIVING IN DELHI IS TOUGH......???

I think driving on Delhi roads is little bit comfortable than other metros of India. During peak hours it generate few stress but rest of the day it is fine. Important thing is that in Delhi road users not follow traffic rules similar to other parts of our country. I have also visited Mumbai and I can say roads of Delhi are better than Mumbai.

Other’s view might be different from me about the same.
