GM begins Exports from India

General Motors India has commenced vehicle exports to Chile. The first 140 left-hand-drive Chevrolet Beats were shipped from the Mumbai Port Trust of Maharashtra on September 25 and they are expected to reach Chile in the next few weeks.

The Chevrolet Beat is produced at GM India’s state-of-the-art manufacturing facility in Talegaon, Maharashtra. The car is available with gasoline and diesel engines and it is GM India’s best-selling model. The city car is also built and sold in many other markets around the world. The Talegaon manufacturing facility has an annual production capacity of 170,000 vehicles and 160,000 engines. 

“The first shipment of Chevrolet Beats demonstrates our commitment to make our India-built products available in global markets,” said GM India President and Managing Director Arvind Saxena. “We will continue to ship models to Chile on a monthly basis.”
