Databases of Indian Automobile and Auto-Component Manufacturers (Free Download)

Under the aegis of the project-work "Influence of government policies on industry development: The case of India’s automotive industry", a short study was made on the location of manufacturing plants of major automobile and auto-component manufacturers in India. The objective was to understand the distribution of automotive manufacturing plants across different states and union territories of India and also across different districts within a particular state.

Since a collective and comprehensive source of data on automotive plant locations in India was non-existent (especially for auto-component producers), an opportunity was identified to make an academic contribution by generating such a source. Hence, data was manually collected for 39 OEMs and 425 auto-component suppliers. In addition to the data of plant locations, data pertaining to general company information and financial information (year 2007) was also collected. The sources employed for the same were company websites and annual reports of the manufacturers as well as the websites of ACMA, SIAM, Ministry of Corporate Affairs, Dun & Bradstreet (India), Bombay Stock Exchange and Department of Science & Technology.

The collected data was organised into two separate Microsoft Access databases – one for automobile companies and the other for auto-component suppliers. The databases proved to be useful for certain parts of the project, and it is believed that they will be of interest to others on the internet as well. Some of the probable uses of these databases are:

• Getting information on contact details, website address, products, quality certification, plant locations, financial & sales, etc. of major automobile and auto-component manufacturers in India
• Obtaining an understanding of the Indian automotive industry by querying the data stored in Microsoft Access Database (.mdb) format
• Sending automated mailings or questionnaires to the automotive companies based on the e-mail addresses provided
• Emulating the database design for creating a variant or online version of the same
