We plan to introduce three new models in the next 12-18 months with leading quality, fuel efficiency, safety, smart design and value."

Ford India recently inaugurated its new facility in Sanand, Gujarat. They will manufacture their new compact sedan the Figo Aspire from this facility. The American manufacturer also plans to bring its iconic muscle car to India the Mustang.
