Genera Motors India has announced to start exporting vehicles from its Talegaon Plant. The production of export vehicles at the plant will begin in the second half of 2014, with sales commencing in Chile in the first quarter of 2015, says the company. Exports will surely help General Motors generate revenues from its Indian subsidiary that is going through a bad time for quite a few years now.
First export product to be rolled out of the facility will be the left-hand-drive version of the Chevrolet Beat. The Beat is already on sale in several international markets.
"The start of Beat exports underlines GM's commitment to India and demonstrates the quality of the country's growing supplier base," said GM India President and Managing Director Arvind Saxena. "The exports will create more employment opportunities within GM India and the supplier community while helping improve capacity utilization at the Talegaon Plant."
