Q: How many new cars were manufactured last year?

Clarifying questions:

1. Which demographic should we consider? I would like to consider India.
A. Okay, You can consider India.

2. We are not looking for toy cars, but real on-road cars right?
A. Yeah

Assumptions:

The population of India: 1.2B
Neglecting the imported cars.
Neglecting the exported parts to the other countries

To know the no of cars that were manufactured, let's first understand the demand for cars every year.

Considering 3 per family - 0.4B Families

Dividing the population according to the income

High Income - 10%5%2M
Middle Income - 40%3%4.8M
Upper Middle Class - 30%3%3.6M
Lower Income -20%1%0.8M

Car Potential Market - 11M
