General motors
General Motors is a major American automaker headquartered in Detroit, Michigan. It produces cars and trucks under brands such as Chevrolet, Buick, GMC and Cadillac. The document discusses GM's Halol plant in Gujarat, India, which GM is shutting down in June 2016 in order to consolidate production at its Talegaon plant in Maharashtra. This will impact the plant's workers, but GM is providing compensation and transferring many employees to the Talegaon facility. The goal is to improve long-term profitability with a larger, more efficient single manufacturing site in India.
