Ford Perks Up India Plan

A year of constant interactions and consistent pitches under the guidance of our CM Tamil Nadu MK Stalin today resulted in the return of Ford Motor Company to Tamil Nadu -- TRB Rajaa, Minister for Industries

New Delhi: American auto major Ford Motor on Friday said it is preparing to utilise its Chennai manufacturing plant to roll out vehicles for exports and has intimated the same to the Tamil Nadu government. TRB Rajaa, Minister for Industries, Investment Promotions and Commerce, who is in the United States accompanying the Chief Minister MK Stalin to woo investors, said the efforts of the Chief Minister to reposition ‘Brand Tamil Nadu’ in its Numero Uno place have yielded rich dividends.

The comments by Rajaa follows the decision by the US car maker Ford which earlier in the day said that it was preparing to utilise its Chennai manufacturing plant in Maraimalai Nagar to roll out vehicles for exports and has intimated its intention to the State government through a ‘Letter of Intent’.
