In this episode of One Big Podcast, Nikhil Chawla speaks to BMW Group India President & CEO Hardeep Singh Brar about the changing landscape of luxury automobile manufacturing in India. As global automakers increasingly localise premium production, Brar explores what meaningful localisation looks like in the luxury segment, how India’s premium car market is evolving, and what it would take for the country to become a credible home for premium automotive manufacturing on the global stage. The conversation covers BMW’s growth and manufacturing plans in India, the rise of EVs, the emergence of Gen Z buyers and young entrepreneurs, and the evolution of the Indian luxury consumer. It also looks at India’s potential to become a global priority for BMW and what the future of mobility, luxury and automotive innovation could mean for India’s ambitions as a global manufacturing hub.
