In actuality you also have to consider the cost of the equipment,
supply of materials, worker skills, etc, etc, etc. India is actually
not a terribly cheap place to manufacture because these costs, plus
baksheesh, etc. compensate for low wages. India is bureaucratic beyond
belief, and corrupt. The smart Indians, rather than fix these problems,
simply come here. Most are decent people but 1) not everyone can come
here, and, 2) the more people of non-European backgrounds, mentalities,
and bioinclination come here the more here will become like there! Just
like Californicators who "emigrate" and make Tucson, Portland, Seattle,
like L.A., only on a far deeper scale.

India does make Jeeps now-Mahindras-and while EPA and DOT mean you
couldn't import them as vehicles you could import frames, sheetmetal,
etc. for "restoration" purposes. However the manufacturer may refuse to
sell theose parts as they may fear loss of license from DCX if one is
needed.

Still, the point is, in volume the price could come way down.
Incidentally I do not think most people really should build their own
Jeep frame: I think Matkins and other aftermarket products are worth
the money. And no, no way in hell am I going to fly a Deutz.
