GM Begins Exports Of Chevrolet Beat Sedan From India
A shipment of 1,200 Chevrolet Beat sedan was exported from India to Latin America.
General Motors (GM) announced the commencement of shipping the sedan version of the Chevrolet Beat to Latin America from India.
GM began production of the Beat sedan at its Taelgaon plant in Maharashtra from June 5, 2017, and the American company loaded a consignment of 1,200 Chevrolet Beat sedans for shipping to Latin America.
As per GM, the Talegaon plant has been one of the major export centres for the car manufacturer and has supported GM India to become the third largest passenger exporter in May 2017.
The Beat sedan was first revealed at the 2016 Auto Expo in Delhi and was to be sold in India as the Chevrolet Essentia. However, earlier this year GM decided to stop selling cars in India by the end of 2017, ending any hopes of buying a Chevrolet Beat sedan in India.
The decision comes in the backdrop of GM restructuring its business around the globe. The company though said that it would continue to manufacture cars in India for exports only.
Apart from the Beat sedan, the Beat hatchback is also being manufactured and shipped from India to international markets. The company has been exporting cars to Mexico since 2016.
Commenting on the company's export growth, Asif Khatri, VP - Manufacturing, GM India said, "GM India's exports have more than tripled in the past year. GM was India's third largest passenger vehicle exporter in May - recording our highest monthly total of vehicle exports at 8,297 units."
DriveSpark Thinks!
It might be a blow to India's ambition domestic manufacturing, but with GM still utilising its plant to produce cars for exports to global markets will indeed underline the significance of India's manufacturing expertise.
