Tata Motors’ subsidiary, Tata Passenger Electric Mobility Limited, recently announced that it has signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with the government of Gujarat to acquire Ford Motor's (F - Free Report) vehicle manufacturing facility set up by the company’s India Division in the city of Sanand.
The MoU between the three parties — the two companies and the government of Gujarat — includes the land, assets and all eligible employees working at the Sanand facility.
The pact is beneficial for all stakeholders involved and it will provide Tata Motors, which already has its manufacturing unit in Sanand, a boost in its passenger and electric vehicle production capacity.
Tata Motors intends to ramp up the output of the unit with an installed capacity of 300,000 units per annum, which will eventually be scaled up to 400,000 units. The takeover will ensure that there is no job loss and no adverse impact, which would have been imminent in case of a shutdown.
U.S. automaker Ford had closed its India production in September last year. The company owned less than 2% of shares of the passenger vehicle market in the country and was finding it difficult to churn out profits for more than two decades.
The Ford India division has decided to operate its powertrain manufacturing facilities by leasing back land and buildings of the powertrain unit from the Tata Motors unit.
