  • US Auto Giant Ford Returns to India. Here’s Why | Vantage with Palki Sharma
    Ford will restart production in India. The US auto giant exited India in 2022 after struggling to crack India's domestic market. Ford will repurpose its factory in Tamil Nadu. This comes as India seeks billions of dollars in investment from international car manufacturers. Why is Ford making a U-turn in India? Why are auto giants flocking to India?

      ​@@DavidK-c7g last thing Ford will do is adapt.
      They are a "too big to fail" legacy company protected by American tax payers and are constantly being bailed out and are highly subsidised ( one of those : one rule for thee another for me ) as long as they manufacture in the US.
      This time they will import their cars and they hope to arm twist India to reduce tariffs on these cars which given one side is not strong as they claim in front of American pressure and other is dependent on HS for their survival. They will get what they want.
      There is not one case study where Ford has succeeded outside of US borders ,maybe except Canada.

If it launches the Eco Sport again, it will have so many bookings that the factory can be busy for 3 to 4 years. It should also launch the Bronco here in India, it will be a tough competition to Thar.

    I recall trump statement on harley davidson " india is imposing huge tarrifs hence it is withdrawaing from india. He was wrong . Those who purchase this premium motercycle come from high income group and r immune to duties/taxes. For them owning a brand is what matters.
    They could not take advantage of cheaper manufacturing cost for exportong it to western countries instead of trying to compete locally. They lacked in marketing efforts abroad.
    Indian buyer is smart and tough nut to crack. If something is available locally and at a cheaper price it will opt for it even if the foreign product has more aesthetic appeal.
    Now ford is rethinking because car manufacturing in european countries is feeling the heat from chinese products. It is not tenable anymore.
    So a solution can be to replicate the "apple i phone story" in automobile Made in india & made for the world.
