This industry generates employment for more than 3 crore people in the country and contributes around Rs 1.5 lakh crore to GST. He said that India is the second largest producer of two-wheelers in the world in this segment, the fourth largest in passenger vehicles, and the seventh largest in commercial vehicles.
