Australia has offered to provide innovative products and technologies to India for developing new vehicle designs.
“The Indian automotive industry wants to develop new manufacturing processes and low-emission technologies and Australia is well placed to provide these,” Australia's Minister for Innovation, Senator Kim Carr, said on Tuesday.
Senator Carr is visiting India to strengthen cooperation between the Indian automotive industry and Australian firms. Among those he will meet are Mahindra & Mahindra, Tata Motors, Samvardhana Motherson Reflectec, the Society of Indian Automobile Manufacturers, the Automotive Components Manufacturers Association of India, and also the Minister for Commerce and Industry.
“With the help of the Australian Government's ‘A new car plan for a greener future,' our auto industry has not only survived the global economic downturn but is transforming and becoming a world leader in new technology. This expertise makes our companies attractive partners for international companies,” he said in an official release.
Promising market
Senator Carr said India was a promising market for many Australian firms, especially in the auto sector.
Earlier this year, the Senator opened a new facility at SMR Automotive Australia, an Indian-owned company, based in South Australia. “The venture is creating new Australian jobs, skills and products through design and production of world-leading lightweight mirrors for cars,” he said.
