Horse Powertrain to enter India with 1 2 litre engines as compact car demand surges

A tax cut is reshaping which engines automakers bet on

Engine maker Horse Powertrain says it plans to enter India and build a local presence, aiming at the fast-growing market for small, fuel-efficient cars. The company links its push to policy changes including reduced sales tax for compact vehicles, which has lifted demand and renewed interest in 1.2-litre engine options.
