Isuzu to set up manufacturing unit for LCVs in AP

Isuzu Motors India Private Limited has signed an agreement with the Andhra Pradesh State Government in order to start LCV manufacturing operation in the country. It has acquired land for the new plant, which would be the centre for full-scale LCV operations. This acquired Land is located in Sricity in the southern part of Andhra Pradesh State. Isuzu has decided Sricity as the most suited location based upon the good access to Chennai, where many automobile related industries are situated, and the port for import and export, and the background of developing a support foothold for our main LCV operation in Thailand. Isuzu has acquired 430,000 square metres of land with aiming the target sales of 100,000 units annually in future. Isuzu has in the meantime started sales of pick up truck (D-MAX) and pick up derivative (MU-7) from this month by importing complete built up vehicles. Isuzu will build up the sales network starting from two states, Andhra Pradesh and Tamil Nadu, and expand accordingly. Picture courtesy Isuzu Thailand
