Maruti Suzuki’s chief says India has a big chance to make more products for the world.

He explained that simply making more parts in India is not enough.

Products made in India must also be as good as products made anywhere else.

Smaller suppliers that provide parts will be very important in reaching this goal.

Companies will need better technology, engineering and quality systems.

Workers will also need training and opportunities to learn.

Government programs and growing demand in India may help the industry expand.

The car industry has already shown it can handle shortages and other disruptions.
