Group Overview
Ford India was established in 1995 as a wholly-owned subsidiary of Ford Motor Company, a global automotive industry leader. Since then, Ford has invested more than US$ 2 billion in India to expand its manufacturing facilities and dealership footprint to meet rapidly rising demand in one of the world's fastest-growing auto markets.
Ford India currently operates a modern, integrated manufacturing facility at Maraimalai Nagar, near Chennai, which produces its award-winning range of products including the Ford Figo, Ford Fiesta, Ford Classic, Ford Endeavour and the Ford EcoSport. As part of its overall commitment to India, Ford is investing US$ 1 billion to build a state-of-the-art integrated manufacturing facility in Sanand, Gujarat. The facility is scheduled to be operational later this year, with vehicles coming off-line in 2015. With Sanand being operational, Ford India will double its manufacturing capacity in India with an installed capacity of 610,000 engines and 440,000 vehicles. Ford is positioning India as a center of excellence for small cars and low displacement engines for both domestic and exports and has embarked on an accelerated export strategy. The Ford Figo is being exported to more than 37 international markets and exports of the Ford EcoSport also commenced in July 2013, to both existing and new markets.
For an enhanced ownership experience, Ford India is constantly expanding its nationwide dealership network with world-class after-sales offerings. Ford India has 304 sales and service outlets in 164 cities and continues to grow aggressively.
