Author: Rod Ward

Made in India (Auto Review Album Number 219) is an essential, highly detailed guide exploring the history and rapid evolution of the automotive industry across the Indian Subcontinent. Written by renowned transport author Rod Ward, this publication focuses heavily on India—now the world’s fourth-largest car-producing nation—while also providing a concise look at vehicle manufacturing in Pakistan, Bangladesh, and Sri Lanka.

Comprehensive Automotive History of the Indian Subcontinent

This album delivers a comprehensive, broadly alphabetical survey of Indian automakers, highlighting the landmark achievements, origins, and corporate trajectories of the region's largest and most influential vehicle manufacturers.

In-Depth Focus on Major Manufacturers

Rather than filling pages with standard 'world cars' that mirror their parent companies' global designs, this book prioritizes unique local engineering, native adaptations, and regional automotive triumphs.

• Prominent Coverage: Comprehensive deep dives into major regional brands, tracing their rise from domestic assemblers to global automotive heavyweights.

• Curated Visual History: Packed with rare, curated photographic coverage of distinctive commercial vehicles, regional passenger cars, and independent manufacturing triumphs unique to the subcontinent.

• Cross-Reference Value: For standard global platforms built under license or joint venture (such as specialized variants from Suzuki, Hyundai, or BMW), readers are smoothly cross-referenced to dedicated Auto Review marque volumes.

Whether you are a motoring historian, a diecast model collector, or a dedicated transport enthusiast, this definitive 32-page reference book offers unparalleled insight into the unique vehicles that mobilized a continent.
