Reportedly SAIC Motor Corp. Ltd and Great Wall Motors Co. Ltd, two of China’s biggest automakers, are in talks with General Motors Co. to acquire the Detroit carmaker’s last remaining factory in india, two people aware of the development said. Located at Talegaon in maharashtra, the plant can produce 165,000 vehicles a year and 160,000 power trains. GM had in 2017 sold its first factory in india at Halol in gujarat to SAIC. MG Motor india, a unit of SAIC, has tasted runaway success with its debut Hector sport utility vehicle (SUV) since it went on sale in June.

This has likely prompted SAIC to eye GM’s second factory as MG has outlined an ambitious product introduction plan for the indian market. MG plans to introduce its second product in india, an electric SUV, next month. Great Wall, China’s biggest SUV maker, is actively scouting for land or existing factories in india to start operations.



SAIC and Great Wall are looking at new markets for expansion, including india, given that china has reached saturation point, one of the two people cited above said on condition of anonymity.
