We have all been criticising about what is not being done by the government. However, we rarely give our own solutions to any problem that we see. May be the suggestion is ridiculous - but still if we look things in a positive way may be we can suggest solutions which some one can like and decide to implement. I know this is very wishful thinking but this is surely better than just criticising.

Seeing A Dark Future For Automobile Industry

Post Corona I see a very dark future for the automobile sector. Sales of new cars and goods transport vehicles will come to a stand still.
Primary reasons for this gloomy forecast
* Priority will be to arrange for the basic needs.
* Expansion activities of all will be the first to be hit resulting in no need of more vehicles.
* Infra projects of government will be badly hit as priorities will shift.
* Replacement market will cease for long.
* Additional vehicles in industry, business and family will not be in priority list.
* Shifting from 2 wheeler to 4 wheeler will halt, once again because of priorities changing.
* Demand for trucks will go down as there will be less transportation of goods.
With this happening we will see
* Closure of few industries.
* Cutting down production to around 10%.
* Closing down of most retail show rooms.
* Tremendous job loss.
* Salary cuts at higher level.
* Cost cutting all over.
What would improve
* Demand for public transport will increase.
* Increase in sales/purchase of used vehicles.
* Increase in vehicle repairing sector.
* Increase in demand of spare parts.
