Because of its large market (India has a population of 1.1 billion; the second largest in the world), a low base of car ownership (7 per 1,000 people) and a surging economy, India has become a huge attraction for car manufacturers around the world. The liberalization policy and various tax reliefs by the Govt. of India in recent years has made remarkable impacts on Indian Automobile Industry.

Aviation

Aviation Industry in India is one of the fastest growing aviation industries in the world. With the liberalization of the Indian aviation sector, aviation industry in India has undergone a rapid transformation.

India's air passenger travel is expanding at about 25 per cent a year, and at least six discount carriers have started flights in the country of 1.1 billion people. Growth in this sector will outpace the global average until 2025, according to government estimates.

New commercial pressures add to the management challenges, as markets are liberalized and old entities come under threat from the new.

Logistics & Transportation

The logistics industry in India is at the beginning of a strong growth path and it is the interplay of infrastructure, technology and new types of service providers that will decide whether the industry is able to help its customers reduce their logistics costs and provide valuable services.

Driven by changing lifestyles, strong income growth and favorable demographic patterns, Indian retail is expanding at a rapid pace which in turn is fuelling the growth of the transport & logistics sector.

The biggest challenge that faces this sector is that they should quickly imbibe latest technologies and uncork new services to cater to corporates seeking to outsource their logistics needs.

In fact, the trend in the industry is towards the third party logistics (3PL) concept as multinational companies in industries such as automotive, IT, and consumer goods have outsourced supply chain activities to third parties. While such business opportunities have been welcomed, they also change the risk profile of these Service Providers.

In addition to traditional risks – failing to deliver products on time and losing shipments – they must worry about mistakes made in a range of new service areas. India Insure offers a range of risk and insurance solutions for companies falling under the purview of this sector.
