"Simply put, Ford did not read the Indian market correctly. In the late nineties and later small cars dominated the market. Maruti was ruling the roost and Hyundai Motor came and launched its Santro and captured a sizeable market," an automobile industry expert told IANS preferring anonymity.

I researched India and found....
Top 20 (not 20%) companies make 65% of the profits.
The whole country is dominated my monopolies through various entrenched practices distribution system and agents and regulation. Even local competitors cannot beat them or make a dent.

A foreign competitor coming often get killed off ....

The best investment in India is to invest in the large companies. The return on capital is highest there.

Never invest in the 2nd biggest only the biggest.

Also the best time to invest in India is when the US goes into recession and input cost of raw material like oil and steel falls boosting profit margins.

I think the American companies gotta share the blame too. They should have localised their products. It is mind-boggling that they did not cater to India's right-hand-drive market. I guess that's arrogance on their part.
land of the poor miss. More jobless.
Close down focus on ev .
