Made-in-India Jeep SUVs to Roll Out of Fiat's Ranjangaon Plant

Having expanded its two vehicle portfolio just last year with the launch of the Avventura, Fiat is all set to bring in new products as well as new brands. Jeep will finally make its debut in India and operations will kick start with the Grand Cherokee and the Wrangler.

But the big news is that Fiat India has grand plans to start producing Jeep branded cars in India and make the country its production hub. Well of course the cars will be later exported from India which means that the country will become the export hub for Jeep branded cars.

For this, Fiat is making a huge investment of 280 million dollars in the Ranjangaon plant near Pune, Maharashtra where it currently manufactures the Punto Evo, Linea and the Avventura. This is a big investment from the company and it affirms the seriousness with which the company approaches a country like India.

However, when Jeep will be first launched, the cars will take the CBU route and manufacturing the cars in India is a plan for the future. Jeep has plans to also bring in the CSUV Renegade to India and once that comes, we can expect the Fiat 500X to make its way here too considering both the cars share the same platform.
