印度超过韩国 跻身世界第5大汽车生产国

NEW DELHI: With over 25.7 lakh cars manufactured in 2016 till date, India has overtaken South Korea to stand fifth in the list of world’s largest carmakers. The countries which are ahead of India are Germany, Japan, the USA and China.

2016年至今，印度生产了257万辆车，超过韩国，成为世界第五大汽车生产国。排在印度前面的是德国、日本、美国和中国

Last year, South Korea manufactured 45.5 lakh cars while India had produced 41.2 lakh. Reports from the Korean market suggest that India could retain this spot next year as well, since the industry there is facing a slump, which has resulted in a dramatic fall in both its domestic and export markets.

去年，韩国生产了455万辆车，而印度生产412万辆。来自韩国市场的报告表明，印度明年也能保持这一位置，因为韩国的汽车业面临衰退，不仅国内市场急剧萎缩，而且出口市场也低迷不振。

This slump is attributed largely to the strike observed by the Hyundai -Kia labour unions that are demanding an increase in wages. As a result, the market has faced a loss of production of more than one lakh vehicles, which amounts to approximately 2.23 trillion won (Rs 13 thousand crore), according to Reuters.

韩国汽车产量下降，很大原因是现代-起亚工会要求加薪而罢工导致的。结果，韩国汽车产量减少了超过10万辆。

On the contrary, the auto sector in India constitutes almost seven per cent of the country’s economy. The automotive market here has witnessed a steady growth. The ‘Make In India’ campaign has also helped the industry grow robustly, and will provide employment to a total of 2.5 crore citizens by the end of this year.

印度汽车业占了本国经济大约7%。汽车市场见证了稳定的增长。“印度制造”计划也推动了本国汽车业的稳健发展，到年底提供的就业能达到2500万。
