Ford's localisation of vehicles in India will have positive impact on exports and lowering vehicle prices

Betting big on the growing compact SUV market in India, US auto maker Ford today said its forthcoming 'Ford EcoSport' would have 80 per cent local content that would be available in both petrol and diesel variants.

Early this year at the Auto Expo held in New Delhi, Ford India unveiled its ambitious plans to foray into the compact SUV segment with the launch of 'EcoSport', which is slated to hit the market early 2013.

"It will be our second Global SUV EcoSport (to be rolled out from India). It will have around similar localisation levels of Figo and Classic...," Ford India President and Managing Director Michael Boneham told reporters here.

The company has a manufacturing unit at Maraimalai Nagar near here and has set up its second plant at Sanand in Gujarat as part of its plans to have eight new products by 2015.

According to company officials, Ford Figo and Classic variants currently have about 80 per cent localisation with most of components supplied by local manufacturers.

"We are still negotiating to have 80 per cent localisation for EcoSport," Boneham said.
