if the same logic were true, cars would cost 1/60 of labor + reduced price on parts locally made + same price and import duty on imported parts. However cars typically cost twice in India.

Cars cost twice in India for a totally different reason. Its basically because of high import duty and not because they are expensive to make in India.
