Global SUV manufacturer GWM said on Tuesday that it has entered into an
MoU with the Maharashtra government to set up an automotive
manufacturing facility in Talegaon.
The company also reaffirmed
its commitment to invest $1 billion into the country in a phased manner.
The said investment is expected to generate over 3,000 jobs.
"This
would be a highly automated plant in Talegaon with advanced robotics
technology integrated in many of the production processes," said Parker
Shi, Managing Director of the Indian subsidiary of GWM.
"Overall,
we are committed to $1 billion of investment in India in a phased
manner, which is directed towards manufacturing world class intelligent

Strategically
