After more than two decades of operations in India, General Motors stopped selling cars in the country from 2017-end, as part of its global restructuring actions. General Motors had earlier inked a pact to sell the plant to Chinese carmaker Great Wall Motors. The agreement fell through last year as the Chinese carmaker called off plans to enter the Indian market. The Talegaon plant has an installed manufacturing capacity of around 1.3 lakh units and 1.6 lakh engines per annum.
