Sir, Thank you very much for your precious advice and the time given for the detailed reply. I will keep focus towards my goal. Thanking you.

Ans: While I can try to give some 'gyan' about a luxury car being a depreciating asset and why you should instead focus on saving for buying real appreciating assets or investments, I will not do that here and instead, just try to answer your question mathematically. ;-)

A car that costs Rs 75 lakh today, will cost much higher due to inflation after 10 years. Assuming 6% average inflation over the next 10 years, the cost of the car you mentioned will increase to Rs 1.34 crore. To reach this corpus target, if you invest in an equity-oriented portfolio that generates about 11%, then you need to start investing Rs 46-47,000 monthly starting today and also increase this monthly investment by at least 7% each year (with your salary hikes).

With the current monthly take-home of Rs 2 lakh, this shouldn't be a problem with you.

That said, I would once again mention the fact that right now you are young and hence, you have this cool goal. My guess is that as years pass, you will understand the reason why spending too much on a depreciating asset like a car isn't advisable. :-)

We don't have information about your risk appetite. But assuming that it is at least moderately aggressive, then, you can start investing in a combination of largecap index funds, flexicap/large&midcap funds, midcap funds, etc.

Thanks
