New Delhi, May 19 () Fiat India Automobiles Pvt Ltd (FIAPL) on Tuesday said Ranjangaon-based manufacturing facility, co-owned by it and Tata Motors, has resumed operations. The plant is a 50:50 joint venture between Fiat Chrysler Automobiles (FCA) India and Tata Motors. FIAPL's management has developed and implemented a comprehensive programme of safety measures to protect over 3,000 direct and indirect employees, their families and surrounding communities from the spread and transmission of COVID-19, the automaker said in a statement. The company, which manufactures passenger vehicles and powertrains in the plant, has implemented layers of protection, including cleaning, disinfecting and social distancing, it added. "We have restarted operations with a lean workforce. Our absolute priority is the protection of employees, ensuring we provide them with a work environment that maintains the highest standards of safety, health and hygiene," FIAPL President Ravi Gogia said. The company's responsibility is also to educate them on a regimen they should follow after work hours so that their families are also protected, he added. "We have also activated our supply chain which is vital to ensuring smooth and efficient operations. Our aim is to gradually step-up with assured supplies and a careful increase in the density of our working," Gogia said. MSS BAL

Fiat, Tata Motors JV plant resumes operations at Ranjangaon

Of late, the second largest car manufacturer in the country <keyword id="596" type="CITY" weightage="20" keywordseo="Hyundai">Hyundai</keyword> has revamped its i10, i20 and Elantra and they look completely brand new. 
 When all car makers are going for a facelift of their popular cars, can <keyword id="44883" type="CITY" weightage="100" keywordseo="Maruti-Suzuki">Maruti Suzuki</keyword> be far behind? After giving back to back successes with <keyword id="6379565" type="COMPANY" weightage="20" keywordseo="baleno">Baleno</keyword> and Ciaz, India’s largest car producer went for a facelift of its popular product, <keyword id="6360068" type="PERSON" weightage="20" keywordseo="swift">Swift</keyword>. Launched decades back, Swift has already experienced a facelift a few years back. 
 The 2017 <keyword id="6911" type="CITY" weightage="20" keywordseo="suzuki">Suzuki</keyword> Swift has a radical exterior and a sporty interior, car experts claim. The car is expected to be launched in India late this year or early next year. 
 Look wise, the car stands out from its older generation. However the car is expected to be powered by the same 1.2-litre petrol and 1.3-litre diesel engine as the current car. Built on the same platform of Baleno, the chassis will be a bit lighter and give an edge to the fuel economy that <keyword id="6912" type="CITY" weightage="20" keywordseo="maruti">Maruti</keyword> is always known for. 
 
 
As the photos of new Swift started doing round in the internet, car experts and enthusiasts somehow felt the new Swift looks copied from other cars. 
 It’s not the first time that Maruti Suzuki is facing this allegation. When Alto 800, the low priced car of ambitious Indian middle class was launched in 2012, the car’s front bumper, headlights, and front grill resembled that of old <keyword id="6355174" type="CITY" weightage="20" keywordseo="Ford">Ford</keyword> Figo. 
 
And now the allegation is on Swift. So we consulted Faisal Khan, Editor, <a href="http://www.motorbeam.com">MotorBeam.com</a>. 
 "The 2017 <keyword id="103029" type="PERSON" weightage="20" keywordseo="Maruti-Swift">Maruti Swift</keyword> does remind me of many cars as the design of India's best selling hatchback gets evolved in its third generation. The front grille reminds me of the <keyword id="42034" type="COMPANY" weightage="20" keywordseo="Jaguar">Jaguar</keyword> F-Type while the hood is similar to the <keyword id="2429395" type="ORGANIZATION" weightage="20" keywordseo="Fiat-Punto-Evo">Fiat Punto Evo</keyword> and the headlights have a similar flow as the <keyword id="3186040" type="UNKNOWN" weightage="20" keywordseo="Hyundai-Elite">Hyundai Elite</keyword> i20. The side seems to be inspired from the <keyword id="709856" type="UNKNOWN" weightage="20" keywordseo="Mini-Cooper">MINI Cooper</keyword> while the rear will surely confuse people with the Toyota Etios Liva but we can see the design has been influenced from Suzuki's own Baleno hatchback.” “The design of the rear door handles are similar to the <keyword id="55200" type="COMPANY" weightage="20" keywordseo="Chevrolet">Chevrolet</keyword> Beat. That's a lot of cars in the all new Maruti Swift." 
 
So Maruti Suzuki fans who are planning to drive the all new 2017 Swift would be able to experience at least 5 cars in one go! That’s incredible!

	The company plans to sell four models -- Quattroporte, Ghibli, Gran Turismo and GranCabrio, all priced between Rs 1.14 crore to Rs 2.2 crore. 
 Maserati, which has been part of the <keyword id="6454902" type="CITY" weightage="100" keywordseo="Fiat">Fiat</keyword> Group since 2005, will now operate out of Fiat <keyword id="43551" type="CITY" weightage="100" keywordseo="Chrysler">Chrysler</keyword> Automobiles India. 

	As part of its India plans, the Italian firm is looking to open three dealerships in New Delhi, Mumbai and Bangalore for which it has appointed AMP Supercars, Bagga Luxury Motorcars and Jubilant Autoworks, respectively. 
 

	"Dedicated Maserati service facilities, which are fully in line with Maserati global standards, are also planned for all locations," he said. 
 

	The company intends to further expand its sales network, going ahead. 
 

	"We have plans to expand in other parts of the country as well. Further down the line, we aim to set up dealerships in Kolkata, Hyderabad, Ahmedabad and Chennai," Jankulovski said. 
 

	Elaborating, Maserati Middle East, India, Africa Managing Director Umberto Cini said: "We will focus on exclusivity and hence, our goal in terms of annual sales in India will be in the two-digit range." 
 

	In its last stint in India, Maserati sold around 10 units in the country. 
 

	The cars will be manufactured in Italy and shipped to India as completely built units (CBU). 
 

	The carmaker sold 36,500 units last year globally, with the US and China being the major markets. 
 

	In the current year, the company looks to sell around 75,000 units worldwide.
