However, shifting customer tastes and technological improvements have resulted in a noticeable move towards automatic gearboxes in India in recent years. Particularly in cities with high traffic, automatic gearboxes provide increased convenience and usability since they automatically shift gears without the need for human interaction. As a result, automatic gearboxes are becoming more common in passenger cars, especially in the premium and luxury classes where convenience and comfort are top priorities. Automated manual transmissions, or AMTs, have become a well-liked option in India by providing a middle ground between manual and automatic transmissions. AMTs offer the ease of automatic gear changing with the ability to still pick gears manually by automating the clutch and gear-shifting operation using electro-hydraulic or electro-pneumatic actuators. AMTs are becoming more popular in small automobiles and entry-level markets because they are more affordable and have better fuel efficiency than conventional automatic gearboxes.

The manual gearbox has been the most widely used and preferred gearbox technology in India. Historically, manual gearboxes have been preferred due to their accessibility, affordability, and ease of use. Because of their accessibility, affordability, and ease of use, manual gearboxes have always been preferred.
