You're still sort of cherry-picking a single (wealthy) district out of hundreds in the rest of India. Whether said district was wealthy thirty years ago or not is irrelevant, and I stand by my point: luxury cars are in general rare in India, and I was speaking generally.
There are 1.4 billion Indians, and the overwhelming majority of them cannot really afford a German luxury car.
- fakedang 3y agoMy next point was the important bit though, that our district's turn is up, but there are other districts following the trend. Rajasthan was not a major luxury market 15 years back while this district was (my data is a bit dated by the way). The majority of Indians may not be able to afford a luxury car, but still taking 0.1% of the population / 4 (for the average family size) gives 250k, which is still a sizeable luxury market.
