For a long time now, the Ford vehicles in the Indian market have not received the desired response. That is why Ford decided to close both its manufacturing plants in India.
For a long time, there was no new Ford car in the Indian market. So the company was thinking of winding up its business in India. It has finally been sealed.
Ford has manufacturing plants at Chennai and Sanand in Gujarat. EcoSport, Figo and Aspire are manufactured here. Ford had invested a staggering 2.5 billion in these projects.
