MG Motor Inaugurates First Indian Factory

MG Motor, owned by China’s SAIC Motor Corporation, has completed one of the crucial steps – inaugurated its manufacturing facility – in setting up shop in India. In June 2017, Britain's MG Motor announced its arrival in the Indian market and was speculated to buy GM’s Halol plant, which was shut down in May. In the following month, MG confirmed the purchase of the facility. And now, the defunct Halol facility, which was under operation for 21 years under the reign of GM, has been brought back to life by the company.

MG has promised that the first product will be rolled out from the Halol facility in 2019. The factory will have an initial capacity of 80,000 cars per annum.
