Chinese carmakers to tackle Indian market

China’s top carmaker SAIC Motor Corp and Great Wall Motor, its biggest maker of SUVs, are spearheading the country’s first major push into India, one of the world’s fastest growing auto markets, as growth at home stagnates, Reuters reports. The entry is late and risky – global carmakers like Volkswagen AG, Ford Motor  and General Motors have struggled to push sales in the cost conscious Indian market despite being here for more than a decade. Chinese cars also suffer from perceptions of poor quality in India. They plan to woo Indian buyers with their no-frills cars and cut-price SUVs.
