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.

plant
• Want to focus on one plant to make business

Maharashtra, Tamil Nadu and Andhra Pradesh)

from 2,82,000 (combined capacity of Halol and
Talegaon plant currently)

Emerging Market (GEM) platform
• Large manufacturing units as compared to Halol Plant
(1,65,000 units per annum whereas Halol plant’s
manufacturing unit is 1,27,000)
• Double manufacturing unit
• Its proximity (nearness) with Mumbai which is port will help
in exports and international sourcing

17. STEPS TAKEN

18. • Compensation for the employees much more than legal
provisions like one month salary for every year in service

Talegaon plant

have to laid off post June 2016

worth by working without any additional allowances and
perks
