"The company (Ford) has asked for 400 acres for its mother plant, and needs 100-150 acres for its ancillary units," said a state government source, adding that the government had identified land at Gujarat Industrial Development Corporation's (GIDC) estate at Sanand. According to sources close to the development, an announcement is likely within a fortnight.
This would be Ford's second plant in India. It already has a manufacturing unit in Maraimalai Nagar, Chennai, which has an annual capacity of 200,000 units.
Ford had expressed interest in scouting land in Gujarat in November last year. Talks have been on between the US-based car major and the government. "A Ford India team met senior state government officials earlier this week, and the negotiations were very positive," said a source. The company is expected to have taken a decision in its board meeting a few days back.
Ford is believed to have exchanged notes with the existing auto majors who have operations in Gujarat.
