General Motors announced that it will be tripling its
production of vehicles in the world’s largest democracy. Previously the automaker had plans to double current
production of 25,000 per year. Interestingly enough, the new goal would be accomplished not by hiring more local
workers but increasing their hours instead.

GM has already been purchasing many parts from the country in its efforts to reduce its
costs.

With over one billion people, it’s not surprising that other companies like newcomers German
BMW and French
Citroen are also setting up plants.
