This new facility will be able to produce up to 3,00,000 new cars each year, with a range of vehicles built exclusively for the Indian market. Worldwide demand for Kia cars is growing, and combined with the start of sales in India; the new facility marks our latest step in becoming a leading global car manufacturer."
