Isuzu Motors Sets Up Its First Manufacturing Facility in India
- Total investment of Rs. 3,000 crore across the combined business
- Initial production capacity of 50,000 units
- Upcoming Isuzu D-Max V-Cross will also be manufactured here
Isuzu Motors has set up its first manufacturing facility in India. The first example of the made-in-India Isuzu D-MAX V-Cross was also rolled-out at the facility located in SriCity, Andhra Pradesh. One must note, this is not the automaker's first tryst with India; it first ventured into India as a supplier of engines for the Hindustan Motors Ambassador. Now it currently retails the Isuzu MU-7 SUV along with the D-Max range of pickup trucks in the country. Isuzu will soon add the D-Max V-Cross, a personal "adventure utility vehicle", to its line-up in India.
Spread over an area of 107 acres, the facility currently offers a production capacity of 50,000 units that can be scaled up to 120,000 units. The new generation of Isuzu D-MAX pick-ups that will be manufactured at the plant will initially feature 70% localisation that will be further increased in the future.
