MG Motor India has agreed to purchase Chevrolet’s former manufacturing facility in Gujarat, aiming to expand its domestic production capacity.
MG Motor India announced that it will take over the manufacturing plant previously owned by Chevrolet in Gujarat. The agreement, reported by CarDekho, marks a significant expansion move for the Chinese‑owned brand in the Indian market.
The Gujarat facility was part of General Motors' operations before the automaker exited the country in 2020. With the plant now slated to change hands, MG Motor expects to repurpose the existing infrastructure for its own vehicle lines.
Industry analysts say the acquisition could boost MG's production capacity and help the company meet growing demand for its models in India. The deal also underscores a broader trend of foreign manufacturers consolidating assets to strengthen their foothold in the domestic automotive sector.
Details on the transaction timeline and financial terms have not been disclosed, but MG Motor has indicated that the plant will become operational under its brand within the coming months.
