Abstract

Since its inception, the automotive industry is observed to be characterized—at a global level—by a high degree of regional concentration or clustering. This striking feature has nonetheless tended to be encrypted in many countries’ automotive sector depicting that the industry is often guided by regional/cluster dynamics. Clusters in the automotive industry however, differ in fundamental aspects from the usual ‘clusters’ or small firm agglomerations identified by Alfred Marshall. In fact, clusters in the automotive industry appear to take the form of ‘hub-spoke agglomerations’ consisting of complexes of suppliers surrounding a central hub or assembly facility. Similar to the global pattern, Indian automotive sector exhibits regionalization of the automotive firms scattered over four regions (North, South, West, and East) (see Fig. 5.1). The auto components firms are accordingly distributed in and around the principal automotive manufacturers thus creating a distinct geographical demarcation in terms of their location in regions.
