The survival of the fittest is once again for GM since the demand for its hatch-back Beat and sedan Cruz versions has made the company increase the production. The set up is to diversify the production to two shifts in Halol and Talegaon, said the company’s VP. By this the increase in production is from 6000 monthly units to 12000 units, he added. The combined production capacity of these two plants is 2.25 lakh units per year of which the Talegaon’s primary small-car plant’s annual capacity is 1.4 lakhs whereas Halol has the capacity of 85000 units. He was hopeful that GM will meet the demand from the customers in India and the backlog demand for Beat and Cruze will be cleared this month. The factors that made fruitful yield for GM are reverted economy( a projected 8.5% growth) during FY 2010-11 and other beneficiaries are Tata with its Nano and Ford India with its Figo.
