<h1>Government pushes auto dealers to ensure ethical marketing, fair financing, mandatory local post-sale support, supply chain resilience and law simplification</h1> The government urged the automobile retail sector-acting as the consumer-facing link to manufacturers-to ensure ethical marketing, fair financing, quality service and robust after-sales support, and proposed requiring firms to maintain local presence and post-sale support for a defined period before exit. Officials signalled that recent tax cuts will be passed to consumers, encouraged domestic sourcing to strengthen supply chains, and promoted competition via incoming free trade agreements. They invited stakeholder suggestions to simplify compliance, decriminalise minor offences, and amend laws (including the Motor Vehicles Act) to reduce regulatory burdens and improve ease of doing business.
