This article discusses dynamics of the automobile industry, one of the highest growth manufacturing sectors under the liberalization policy in the 1990s. After a brief historical explanation of the industry, the author describes corporate strategies of new comers, classified into three divisions; i.e. passenger car, commercial vehicle and two wheelers. Then he also analyze their distribution patterns from the view point of transport cost and Indian industrial location policy. The location of car assembly units in the 1990s tends to concentrate in greenfields on the outskirts of the existing agglomerations of the automobile industry. en-copyright= kn-copyright= en-aut-name=TomozawaKazuo en-aut-sei=Tomozawa en-aut-mei=Kazuo kn-aut-name=友澤和夫 kn-aut-sei=友澤 kn-aut-mei=和夫 aut-affil-num=1 ORCID= affil-num=1 en-affil= kn-affil=岡山大学 en-keyword=automobile industry kn-keyword=automobile industry en-keyword=liberalization kn-keyword=liberalization en-keyword=industrial location kn-keyword=industrial location en-keyword=India kn-keyword=India END
