SAIC, GM to form joint venture in India in early 2010

GM would transfer half of its Indian operations to SAIC Motor by setting up a 50-50 joint venture there with the Chinese partner. The deal will require Indian government’s regulatory approval. Small cars and mini commercial vehicles currently made at GM and SAIC’s China ventures will be produced and sold in India.
The deal with GM makes SAIC the first Chinese automaker to enter India, the world’s second fastest-growing auto market, which remains dominated by small, affordable cars. SAIC-GM-Wuling’s vans could be well accepted in India more quickly than Shanghai GM’s car models, analysts said.

at the end of the day money talks and BS walks. They probably felt that that was the best place to build, plus its gives easy access to local market. I think its a pretty sound decision.
