Commenting on this, SIAM Director General Rajesh Menon told PTI that there has been a higher penetration of India manufactured passenger vehicles in Latin America and Africa in the recent past as models manufactured here meet the consumer requirement of these regions. “The brands are global, have good build quality and are cost competitive. Effect of trade agreement with Chile couple of years ago, has also recently helped in improving the competitiveness of India manufactured passenger vehicles," he added.

Domestic car leader Maruti Suzuki India (MSI) led the exports during the first quarter, followed by Hyundai Motor India and Kia India at the second and third positions, respectively.

The country's largest automaker Maruti Suzuki exported 68,987 passenger vehicles in the period under review, up 53 per cent from 45,056 units in the same period of the previous fiscal year. Hyundai Motor India's international dispatches stood at 34,520 units during the June quarter, up 15 per cent from the year-ago period.
