In June, Suzuki imported nearly 4,800 cars, 230 times more than last year. The Jimny Nomad, a compact SUV made in India, has driven unprecedented demand, forcing the company to halt pre-orders within days. Honda too is banking on Indian production, as India emerges as a global manufacturing powerhouse. Affordable, reliable, and suited to Japanese needs, these cars are reshaping Japan’s market. With exports tripling and global respect growing, India’s automotive industry is proving it can compete — and win — worldwide. --- India | Japan | Suzuki Motor | Mercedes-Benz | Made in India | Firstpost | World News | News Live | Vantage | Palki Sharma | News #india #japan #suzuki #mercedes #firstpost #vantageonfirstpost #palkisharma #worldnews Vantage is a ground-breaking news, opinions, and current affairs show from Firstpost.
