On Wednesday, India’s Pune-based Force Motors inaugurated its Rs 100 crore($14,722,030) greenfield plant for providing engines and axle to Mercedes-Benz, India’s most significant luxury automaker. The brand-new plant has a present annual capability of 20,000 engines and 20,000 front and rear axle, which can be boosted according to requirements.

Mercedes has actually been buying engines for its vehicles and sports utility automobiles from Force since the year of 1997. Until now the latter has actually supplied around 60,000 engines and 50,000 axles.

“The inauguration of this plant marks a considerable action in our 45-year-long association with Mercedes-Benz,” stated Prasan Firodia, handling director, Force Motors.

The company that plans to invest another Rs 100 crore to prepare for upgrading to more stringent emission standard of Bharat Stage VI by 2020, will provide specifically to Mercedes from the plant. India will go straight from BS-IV to BS-VI standards by 2020.
