Chevrolet Sales India Pvt Ltd was a division of General Motors India Private Limited which in turn was a joint venture of General Motors of the United States. It was the 5th largest car maker in India after Maruti Suzuki, Hyundai, Tata and Mahindra. General Motors will stop selling cars in India by the end of 2017. However, it will continue to provide support for existing customers and continue operating its plant in Talegaon as an export-only facility. It will sell its Halol plant to a Chinese company during the process of its exit from the domestic Indian market.
Chevrolet came to India in 1903. An office was set up in Bombay with an assembly plant constructed in Sewree. General Motors was the first automobile company to open an assembly plant in India. Vehicle Production started in 1928 with the National Series AB Touring. In 1952-53 the ‘socialist’ Indian Government forced General Motors India to shut shop, along with other foreign car companies. However, in 2003 Chevrolet Sales India was established and the Chevrolet brand was re-launched in India. It replaced Opel as the only brand offering by General Motors India Private Limited.
