In late 2009 Shanghai-GM set up a company in India with two factories, located in Halol and Talegaon, these two factories have a combined production capacity of 225,000 vehicles, and an engine building capacity of 160,000 units. By 2012 Shanghai-GM hope to have 5 models in production in the Indian market, 3 models are expected to be light business use models (highly likely to be Wuling vans) whilst the remaining two will be passenger vehicles, one of which is confirmed as the Chevrolet Spark. Wuling, who are in control of the Baojun brand, expressed that they wish to get ahead in the Chinese market with the Baojun brand before jumping elsewhere.
Wuling’s vans are under going testing in India at the moment and are likely to undergo CKD production in India in the near future.
