Driving Forces of India’s Automotive and Auto Parts Sector
The automotive sector is one of India’s largest and fastest growing manufacturing sectors. With a turnover of US$13 B, the automobile sector employs about 0.45 million people directly and 10 million people indirectly, including after-sales and servicing networks. This ranked India as the 11th largest passenger car producer in the world. In the category of motorcycles and scooters, India is ranked 1st and 2nd respectively. With India increasingly liberalizing its market place, many new joint ventures evolved, resulting in close to 2 dozen global auto manufacturers setting up shop in India

How to Save Money on Radiator Repair
Having a radiator that functions properly is essential to having a car that continues to function properly. Your car radiator keeps your engine, which produces a lot of heat, from overheating and destroying itself. It does this by cooling the coolant that has been run through the engine to a temperature that is usable and sending it back to the engine. Radiators cool the coolant by running it through thin channels in the radiator core. These thin lines then radiate heat. They are assisted by the radiator fan, which blows air through the radiator, and small metal lines acting as heat sinks that are attached to the radiator core.
Radiator fluid should be flushed and replaced every two years on most vehicles to prevent corrosion in the cooling system. If this isn’t done, the corrosion process creates sediment which can clog the radiator. This would be diagnosed by running a flow test. Sometimes, a clogged radiator can be “rodded out.” If the radiator then passes a new flow test, it can be reinstalled for further use.

Aftermarket Auto Parts Boon or Bane
There’s no questioning the popularity of aftermarket auto parts in the US automotive industry. Basically alternate car parts most of which are not made by car manufacturers themselves, aftermarket auto parts compete with original equipment manufacturer (OEM) parts. When an original auto part fails (for instance, your hood strut) and is irreparable, the car owner has the choice – or dilemma – of whether to buy a new part from his car’s manufacturer or purchase an aftermarket part. Thus, inevitably, issues of which are more advantageous to car owners, which benefits the industry more, and other related questions and comparisons between OEM and aftermarket parts arise.
With the rise in production of aftermarket auto parts in the past two decades, a non-profit organization called the Certified Automotive Parts Association (CAPA) was established in 1987 to test and certify parts used for auto body repairs. Setting rigid standards for aftermarket parts, CAPA’s testing process includes an industry-recognized 500-hour salt spray test to indicate rust resistance. Tests on metal composition, screws, chipping and scratching resistance are also conducted. While the founding of CAPA initially boosted the trust in the quality of aftermarket auto parts, many automotive consumers still describe CAPA parts as generally not as good as OEM parts. Furthermore, questions on the credibility of the CAPA certification, despite its supposedly strict standards, still exist.
