The automotive industry in India is growing fast and offers both Indian suppliers and global car manufacturers possibilities for new and better business. Industry experts and logistics service providers will get opportunity to discuss the future of the automotive supply chain at the AKJ Automotive conference at BMW, Chennai, October 18th/19th 2016.
