Standard Motor Products of India Limited, known for short as Stampro and formerly as Union Motors, was an Indian automobile manufacturer based in Chennai. It was established in 1948 as a joint venture between Union Motors India and the Standard Motor Company of the United Kingdom, to assemble the Standard range of cars in India, and its factory stood at Perungalathur on what was then the edge of the city. The first car to leave the plant, in 1951, was the Standard Vanguard Phase I saloon. Over the following decades it built the Standard Eight, Ten and Pennant, the Standard Atlas based light commercial vehicles sold as the Standard 20, the Standard Herald, the Gazel developed in-house from the Herald, and in 1985 the Standard 2000, an Indian version of the Rover SD1. Sales collapsed, the company ceased operations in the late 1990s and was liquidated in 2005.
