Meanwhile, the company has ramped-up its manufacturing capacity in the Indian market by adding another shift at both of its Halol and Talegaon plants, in a bid to meet-up the rising demand for its cars in the market.

Moreover, the company is also planning to roll-out a new mid-size sedan – Chevrolet Baojun 630 – in the country in association with its JV partner Shanghai Automotive Industry Corporation (SAIC). The Chevrolet Baojun 630 is expected to be placed in the price bracket of Rs 6 lakh to 8 lakh.
