Intro: The first assembly plant of General Motors dates back to 1928. It was closed in 1954. Later GM cooperated with Hindustan Motors for the assembly of Bedford trucks and Vauxhall passenger cars.
General Motors India which was incorporated in 1994 as a 50:50 joint venture company with the C.K. Birla Group of Companies has become a 100% subsidiary of General Motors Corporation in February, 1999 with GMOC buying the remaining 50% shares from the Birla Group. Its total investment is to the tune of Rs. 300 crores (about USD 100 million). The company was further restructured in 1999 and was converted from a Public Limited to Private Limited In terms of shareholding pattern whereby 86 % of voting rights are currently held by GM APH LLC and 14% by Holden, Australia.
The plant, which is newly renovated, was originally built by Hindustan Motors. It was purchased by GM India in 1995 and modernized for production of the Astra and other future products. It is located at Halol, which is 45 km. northwest of Vadodara, in the west Indian state of Gujarat. The plant is 45,000 square meters in size.
Although the plant assembled a variety of brands over the years, in 2006 it was decided that Opel will be withdrawn from the market and the company will focus on Chevrolet (GM-Daewoo) products. |
