Indus motor is very good company
very nice. That is the way to move forward. Govt should encourage more localization of parts to be used in manufacturing. Also make it mandatory for car manufacturer to export some portion of their goods. of course govt must give them some incentive to do that.
furthermore govt should give loans to private technical infrastructure to speed up localised parts in collaboration and coordination with toyota so that local market supports toyota in the process
