​GM India To Export Chevrolet Beat To Chile

General Motors India will export the left-hand-drive version of its Chevrolet Beat hatchback to Chile in the first quarter of CY2015.

The company will begin the production of export vehicles at its Talegaon plant near Pune after June 2014, it said in a statement.

The compact car Beat is available with petrol and diesel engines. The model was launched in India back in 2010.

The start of Beat exports underlines the company’s commitment to India and demonstrates the quality of the country's growing supplier base, said GM India president and managing director Arvind Saxena.

Exports will also help improve capacity utilisation at the Talegaon plant, he added.

In April, the company’s sales declined 35.30% to 5,302 units as against 8,196 units sold in the corresponding month of the previous year.
