Ahmedabad, 17 November 2012

US car maker General Motors today said it would shortly have 1.10 lakh units annual commissioned capacity at its Halol plant in Gujarat, up from its present installed annual capacity of 85,000 units.The company is planning to roll out the new eight seater MPV -Enjoy- from its Gujarat plant in the next couple of months according to the company’s Vice-President (Corporate Communication) P Balendran.

“Halol capacity was short…so it is being expanded. With the inauguration of a press shop at Halol, it is now an integrated manufacturing plant,” Balendran said.

The company has phased out few of its models such as the Chevrolet Optra and Aveo. “After phasing out of models like Chervolet Optra and Aveo and the launch of Chevrolet Sail U-VA a hatchback, we plan to roll out a new sedan model of Sail by the next month,” he said.
