Well 95% of Automotive industry in India has only assembly/production facility for which they rarely recruit Automobile Engineers. They mostly hire Mechanical knowledge with basic knowledge. Research and Development labs in India are quite less, to be honest NIL.

First TATA and Mahindra used to have their R&D labs spread all over India but now they are all shifted in Europe.

There is a lot of scope of Automotive industry here in India ,but no scope for Automobile Engineers for sure. Companies look for cheap mechanical engineers for maintenance and every technical stuff is sort out or designed prior in other country.

Honda - Japan/China

Maruti Suzuki -China

Tata - Europe/UK with JLR

Volkswagen group -Germany

Daimler -Germany

BMW - UK/GERMANY

TVS - India /Germany with BMW

JCB - UK

Bajaj - India/ Europe with KTM

Hero - INDIA/SPAIN

Hyundai- South Korea

India not a place for qualified Automobile Engineers!! It's the truth.

Hi Sai

Yes automobile sector is the largest sector in Industrial section. We have many core companies like Hero, Tata, Mahindra, Ashok Leyland, Maruti, Bajaj, TVS and many MNCs like Ford, Renault who have their plants in India.

So automobile engineering will never be small and will never go out of trend.

Hope this helps you. :)
