How Socialist Ambassador Ruined Whole Auto Industry and Exploited Indians? License raj!
Автокөліктер мен көлік құралдары
Have you ever wondered why we don't have any other car than an ambassador in the past, why Hindustan motors never changed its looks and engine for decades, or why it couldn't compete with new cars when the market opened in 1991?
in this video, I've explained how all of this happened due to license raj and govt. policies

Back in 2008, I got a job offer from HM in my college placement. During the interview rounds I asked one of the panelists why there are no changes in the design or no new models coming out of HM. The response was hilarious. They said, the car was designed in such a way that even changing anything as fine as a hair would disrupt the fine balance of the Ambassador car. Thankfully I never joined them and they got shut down some years later.

Remember Bajaj Chetak that had a defect because of which you had to tilt it in order for it to start? That succeeded in the Indian market for the same reason as well, Bajaj family was close to Government. They even managed to sell the same Chetak without fixing that flaw for couple of decades. In open market that product would have rotted in factories. Even Maruti Suzuki manage to enter India, because the Nehru's Grandchild Sanjay Gandhi wanted to start a car company. Even Royal Enfield remained as relevant in India while the original Enfield went bankrupt in UK when better alternatives became available.

Let me tell you an insider story when maruti 800 was first launched in India , HM bought 2 cars and tried to figure out the engine. The entire R & D team of HM couldn't figure out then they were forced to tie up with Isuzu for their engines coz they were so overwhelmed with the modernity of Japanese engines.

Maruti doesn't exist only their service network does with a small share it's all Suzuki ...but Suzuki tying up with ISUZU makes not sense.

There is one main reason for Japanese companies to dominate the world in automobile industry, which is, that the Japanese companies PAID their engineers to go on vacations to places like Detroit, Germany, Italy and see their cars being manufactured and also drive them. For some engineers they sponsored them to pursue Masters in those countries, which helped for a soft technology transfer through not making any deals. The entire world was against Japan and their companies after WW2, so they could not make any deals with other companies even if opened their market at that time.

Yes, what you said is perfectly fine. Ambassador was the only leading car in a row of 3 cars Herald and PAL. Ambassador occupied the lion's share of the market by monopoly with the help of politicians. You had to book an Ambassador car by paying advance I don't remember now how much. May be 1000 or 5000 Rs. No interest. You will get the car after 3 to 5 years. Influential people got faster. The Mark 1 to 4 were just minor changes like mirror, seat, etc. Shameful. We saw a real car when Indira Gandhi ordered a small car factory for her younger son uneducated unemployed Sanjay. In collaboration with Suzuki, a minor motor manufacturer then. I think it was one of the smallest cars Suzuki 800, very cheap. There was still cheaper one Isuzu. Very few purchased it. I am telling the situation outside India. For Indian executives who were pampered with Premier Padmini, an oldie car from PAL, Suzuki was a dream. Very few opted for Herald. Ambassador felt the heat after the eighties. They made Hindustan Contessa. I think Ambassador engine with a bigger better body. Unfortunately it was a mismatch and failure. Soon Rajiv Gandhi opened up foreign collaboration. Ambassador slowly lost its ground. Natural death. Well deserved. Exploitied Indians of 2 generations. Same design. Poor looks. Poor service.

Only after India created its nuclear weapons and large scale support from ussr in the 60s and 70s did India become strong enough to scare Pakistan and restrain China.with that India could move to liberalisation of economy as socialist systems are efficient at heavy machinery, military and industry but lack very much in other sectors like service economy, semiconductors and innovation. But yes the heavy industrial and military backbone created by socialism in india enabled India to smash Pakistan and weaken and created the soil on which liberalization, it industry and innovation prospered. Were it not for socialism, India would have been conquered by radical Islam(ghazwa e hind) and your sisters and large numbers of hindu women would have been traded in the Islamic slave markets of pakistan, Saudi Arabia and Afghanistan. The reason why modi is able to act so boldly is that huge military industrial backbone that was created in 1960s to 1990s by congress.

You are 100% correct. The major chunk of Licence Raj is still present in India even today and politically lobbied monopoly still exist. The socialist elements are deeply engraved in our bureaucracy system...something that no company or organisation or individual can supersede.

Socialism is not what you have mentioned in your comment.
India was literally USSR colony till 1990. As soon as USSR (socialism) collapsed, we also got bankrupt. Then came the American (capitalism) owned IMF to bail us out. But but but they came with strict conditions like adopting capitalism and making economic and foreign policies as per their conditions. So it was not Manmohan Singh who liberalised Indian economy but India was forced by IMF to do so. Any nation which takes loan from IMF literally looses it's sovereignty to USA. Latest example is Pakistan. It's only post 2014 we actually started becoming sovereign nation.

Nicely thought out, researched and presented. Totally worth the effort. It was a treat to watch.
Great video. Perhaps, you may consider making a video on 'Standard' company who used to manufacture some cars such as Herald and Gazel. Also in the 80's (most probably) another car was introduced by the name of 'Montana', which could not capture the market perhaps because of predominant fiber parts in the body. Maybe some video on that as well.
Ambassador was the king of Indian roads... A king with no queen, minister or subjects... 😂 Indians are bred in such a way that they are always afraid of competition. But they need to believe that they are capable of becoming the leaders of competition. I hope someday Tata Mahindra and other Indian companies will rule the world if corruption remains low.

Lack of upskilling and finding solutions through teamwork is the cause of uncompetitive actions worldwide more like. The modern world upskilled their "uneducated" citizens via evening adult courses since the 1970s. Most of India was stuck in just blaming innocent citizens until around early 2000.
As someone who was born in 1961 and who grew up with the Ambassador, I can vouch that every word said in this video is true ...
Thank you so much for your candid observations. Competition motivates Innovation, while monopoly breeds complacency. Apart from Monopoly and Govt. policies, I feel there are many other factors like no incentive or promotion for improvement, lack of highly skilled engineers who could make changes, shortage of capital for modernization. etc. Even today it's an irony that Petrol with additives (HP Power, IOCL XPlus etc.) is treated as luxury product and higher taxes are levied on it. The truth is, by adding additives in Petrol, there is less pollution, less were and tear of the engine and better milage, resulting in direct benefit for the country. But instead of promoting, successive govts are trying to extract more tax from the user and indirectly discouraging use of a superior product.
We had ambassador in late 1996, it had petrol engine which we ditched and installed then Matador ( force motors) diesel engine.

@@c.bulakh6231 you should shut up first. Tata outsources chassis from Land Rover, engine from Fiat and gearbox from Hyundai in the Safari. Most parts used in their cars are Chinese. Mahindra also has a research facility in Detroit, design studio in UK as well. Just being present in all segments doesn't guarantee quality. Tata cars are unreliable, bad after-sales service, bad spare part availability. Mahindra is slowly but surely improving in terms of quality.

Bilkul sahi analysis, this was the reason, that automobile industry was sluggish in India. Its a honor to subscribe to your channel mate.
You did such deep research on it and made unbiased and unfiltered video about how corruption became a big obstacle for automobile Industry's growth. It's been an honour working on your projects like these. This channel is most definitely the smartest auto-info channel in India that I've ever seen.
Your videos are some of the best. I love it. You need to start a separate "Auto History" channel or a magazine like "autocar".
Fantastic video man! I personally love the Ambassador too and grew up with the car myself (no I am not that old, the car has just been in my family that long). Although what you have covered in the video might seem controversial and hardcore Amby lovers might take some offense to it but its necessary for us to understand the underpinnings of our history. We as automotive enthusiasts "love" our cars (sometimes too much) to not be able to see them for what they are and have always been: transportation technology. So even though I love my Amby I must admit that the car was never as good as it could have been, especially in the later stages of its life. Sadly, due to the reasons you touched upon and probably many more, we no longer have HM or the Amby around anymore...
A very balanced and informative video; धन्यवाद 🙏
If you ever feel useless Then remember HM had an r and d team
You are right about the ending part your told Our government officials are not even willing to get a change in this industry They are banning modifications You can't use old cars those were real classic Not supporting motor sports They just think that car is a item for going from one place to another I hate that too People who want to follow there dreams of NASCAR and le mans have to go abroad Coz in this country you if you are a car guy Than you are not supposed to be alive and government will not even support you

One had to spend another Rs 20000 about 20% of the purchase price to sort out issues neglected by the production and inspections.
Thank u for the vdo, it is well researched and well made on HM, however u should hve connected the reality of Maruti Suzuki also as to who owned it and bought it to Indian Auto Market.
Well researched. Keep up the good work
Ah the old car from Nuffield, England. They were just what India needed.....something that went the distance with a loud horn! I remember an Uncle having one of the first models after the Landmaster was put into mothballs. The engine block was derived from England and was much sought after. You had to put your name down, years in advance for delivery!
For the past 40 years, I have been telling or asking my friends why Ambassador car is not changing the design , now I got an answer.Thanks.
My family had 3 generations of HM Ambassador from mark 2 to Grand and now we are using Maruti Suzuki Dzire and I can definitely say that both are poles apart. Once you ride a Dzire from an Ambassador you can immediately feel that Amby is of stone age. Even my father before buying Dzire did not want to believe that there is any better car than Ambassador. That's the monopoly they created.
I was born in 1955 and in my younger days the cars I used were Ambassador, Fiat / Premier, Standard Herald and the Willys / Mahindra jeeps. In bikes I rode the Bullet, Jawa / Yezdi and Rajdoot. Also the Vespa and Lambretta scooters. Basically most of the vehicles were petrol guzzlers, except Mahindra, and unreliable. It's only after Maruti and Hyundai etc. that the market opened up to international brands. Todays youth have hundreds of models to choose from. India wasted four decades before developing the auto industry. That too in a market with a rapidly growing population. I agree with the presentation. The licence Raj created a mindset of mediocrity which continues even today. Very few indigenous brands can compete in quality with developed countries.

Just to add to what I wrote earlier. My comments are not political but I notice lots of Congress baiters and Modi supporters around spreading a false narrative. Modi's contribution to the automobile industry is ZERO. Remember it was Rajiv Gandhi who created Maruti Udyog and many other firsts like color TV, multiple channels and the IT revolution. I feel ashamed of the parents of today's young generation talking nonsense here and blaming poor Nehru. He had no time for cars and bikes. He was more involved in the food security challenges and other macro problems of a young nation. Ask your grandfather or father about Nehru and grow up.

You are 100% Right.... Appreciated you from Kerala.
Even after watching the whole video, people blaming nehru for this is the height of the attitude that indians are famous for. It's very clear that japan too was just like india, with the same policies, but with an even smaller domestic market. But the difference was in the mindset of the people. The japanese took the same opportunity (even though of a smaller scale) and blew it to great proportions. Just like any typical indian, HM was more focused on only taking money from the customer, not giving any return in worth for the money he was making in any development or improvement in what product he gave. It's not just in this case, but any case. The very mindset with which indians and other people do things just makes it all the more clear. The mindset and attitude of the indian beurocracy is the best example for this. If you study what china did for some years with its human resource and infrastructure, you'll get the point. They perfected their skills, and brought perfection to their skills. One thing every one in the entire world will agree on is that if the same product is compared from india and any other country, it is gojng to be so much inferior in perfection and performance. Since some years it has changed a lot, but still those who are familiar with indians in many countries can very well get it.
One correction, Hindustan motors had Contessa and fiat had NE118. These both cars were considered as luxury cars.
