Global players like Ford, Volkswagen and Fiat are already re-evaluating their strategy as they struggle to make inroads in a market dominated by small cars.“Car makers are getting very cautious regarding their future investments in India. Most of them are either deferring or just scrapping their India new model plans,” said Puneet Gupta, an autos sector expert at IHS Markit.Auto executives and analysts point out that some car makers are focussing on their strengths in terms of products instead of chasing volumes with small cars. Some others are taking drastic steps to reduce their exposure.Ford has agreed to sell a majority stake in its India arm to Mahindra Mahindra, ending its independent operations in the country after two decades and highlighting the challenges automakers face in growing profitably in Asia’s third-largest economy.Dialling backA cocktail of higher taxes under a new goods and services tax regime, flip-flop over electric-vehicle policy, and a boom of ride-sharing firms such as Uber and Ola have all plagued global automakers in India.

Joshi, who is hearing the appeal filed by Salman against his conviction for culpable homicide not amounting to murder, during dictation, said that there are three categories of witnesses in criminal cases.

One is wholly reliable, the second is partially reliable, while the third is unreliable and for partially reliable witnesses, there should be corroborative evidence to prove the witness’ testimony. “In the opinion of this court, Mr Patil is not a wholly reliable witness,” said the judge, adding that there has to be corroboration of evidence.According to the judge, apart from Patil, no other witness had said that the appellant (Salman) was driving the car and that he was drunk at the time of the incident and hence, there is no corroborative evidence to support Patil’s claim. The judge also noted that Patil did not say anything about the actor being in a drunken state in his first statement.

Owning a luxury car in India is akin to maintaining a white elephant. High-end vehicle owners tell us about the problems they face while keeping the cars up and running in MumbaiWhen Dipa Karmakar performed the Produnova, or the vault of death, in the Rio Olympics in August, she held an entire country under her spell. Despite the fact that she missed out on a medal by a whisker, Dipa was showered with awards and accolades when she returned home. Amongst the awards was a BMW X1, given to her by the Hyderabad Badminton Association, and presented by Sachin Tendulkar. The problem, explained Dipa’s father, Dulal Karmakar, was that there isn’t a service centre for BMW in the state of Tripura, and the condition of roads in her native Agartala are not good enough for the vehicle to be driven on.

Dipa’s predicament is not hers alone.

The roads here are so bad. Just last week, my car hit a pothole, and the right suspension started making noises. I had to open it up and have it checked.”Businessman Damandeip Singh Chadha too believes that the city roads are the bane of every luxury car owner’s lives. “Any car that costs more than `1 crore, or is low slung is affected by our pathetic roads. We don’t have potholes on the roads, we have roads on the potholes. I suffer from slipped disc, and these roads are bad for my health.
