GM India

General Motors India Private Limited, known as GM India, was the subsidiary through which General Motors operated in India. General Motors had assembled Chevrolet vehicles there from 1928 to 1952, and in 1994 the company was formed as a joint venture of Hindustan Motors and General Motors to sell Opel cars; General Motors bought out its partner in 1999. It moved its headquarters to Gurgaon in 2000, opened a technical centre in Bangalore in 2003, and began producing Chevrolet vehicles at Halol in 2003 and at a second plant at Talegaon in September 2008. In October 2012 General Motors raised its stake to 93 percent by buying 43 percent from SAIC. In 2013 a recall of 114,000 Tavera units led to an internal probe that found emission test violations. General Motors stopped selling cars in India at the end of 2017, though the Beat continued to be built at Talegaon for export until that plant closed in December 2020.
