Stellantis Acquires Full Ownership of Thiruvallur Plant, Plans Production Increase
Stellantis India has acquired full ownership of its manufacturing operations in Thiruvallur, Tamil Nadu, by buying the remaining stake from the CK Birla Group. The company plans to increase production from 18,000 units in 2026 to over 50,000 units annually by 2027, nearly tripling output. This move aims to enhance operational integration, accelerate new model introductions, and boost exports, supported by India's upcoming free trade agreements. The expansion is expected to more than double the direct workforce and generate significant indirect employment.
