Ford Might Produce Electric Vehicles in India
Introduction:
The American company Ford has announced on 11 February 2022 that it is looking to produce electric vehicles in India for export abroad.
Description:
The company can also sell these
electric vehicles in India. The company has 2 manufacturing plants in India, out of which in one plant the company can produce electric vehicles for export.
A few months back, Ford had announced that it would stop manufacturing and selling cars in India.
Ford said in September 2021 last year that the company is incurring a loss of USD 2 billion and does not see any chance of being profitable in India. Therefore, the company had decided to leave the Indian auto market.
The company sees the future of
electric vehicles as very bright all over the world and in India. Ford has announced to invest 30 billion USD by 2030 on electric vehicles under a plan “Ford+”.
With this announcement from Ford, the company can again enter the Indian market. When the company decided to leave India's auto market, its market share was only 2%. Such a low market share was despite the company being in India for more than 2 decades.
Summary:
In India, the company has already produced auto vehicles for exporting abroad, but now it wants to produce electric vehicles in India for exporting abroad. The company has taken this decision after receiving an incentive of USD 3.5 billion from the Government of India to the company for clean-fuel vehicles.
