GM, China partner take aim at booming India market

General Motors Co. and its Chinese partner SAIC Motor are to make small cars and commercial vehicles in India, taking a successful 12-year Chinese partnership into one of the world’s fastest growing auto markets, Reuters reported.
GM, which is restructuring as it emerges from bankruptcy, will also sell a 1 percent stake in its existing China venture to SAIC for about $85 million, giving China’s top carmaker control and allowing it to consolidate the venture’s accounts onto its balance sheet, the report said.
“We have had a successful relationship with them for 12 years,” Nick Reilly, president of GM’s international operations, told reporters on a conference call on Friday. “It seems to us very sensible and a big opportunity to broaden that relationship outside China.” (Reuters)
