Ford(India) has built its own power plant for it's operations in Chennai!!....
"GM in India, Ford in India, Honda in India, Toyota in India. We're all using IT operations in India to support group activities around the world," says Mr Mathew, Ford(India) MD.
In addition to the factory workers, Ford also employs 1,800 white collar workers who look after the group's global invoicing and offer IT services.
The Ikon was designed especially for India. It enables passengers to sit in the back seat with a turban, the doors are made to prevent saris catching, and it copes well with flooded streets and high temperatures, explains Mr Mathew.
Cars made here are delivered to customers in India, where the company's sales rose 45% in the year to 31 March. In addition, car kits are exported for assembly in South Africa and Mexico.
