Despite its relatively small size, the Indian luxury car market is growing at a healthy pace, thanks to rising incomes and an increasing number of high-net-worth individuals in the country. As a result, India's luxury auto manufacturing industry is becoming more competitive, with major players like Mercedes-Benz vying for a larger share of this lucrative market.
