Fiat India Automobiles is a 50-50 joint venture between Fiat Group Automobiles and Tata, which builds its own-brand Indica and Manza models there.
The Ranjangaon plant in Pune also assembles local variants of Fiat’s Palio, Linea and Grande Punto lines. It can make 200,000 cars and 300,000 engines plus parts and accessories. Around EUR650m (US$833m) has been spent on the plant to date.
“We have said we would like Fiat to bring more of their products,” a Tata Motors spokesman in Mumbai told just-auto.
“We have a strategic alliance in India which could look into any initiative and under that alliance we have set up a JV for manufacturing for both sides’ cars – that is operational.”
