The major causes of these slowdowns have been determined as Indian government’s policies and the global economic slowdown. This slowdown has also resulted in the decrease in production all over the state. Major companies like Nissan, Hyundai, BMW, Daimler, Yamaha and TVS have their bases in the state.
