Ford Motor Company is in discussions with the Tamil Nadu government to restart production at its Chennai plant in Maraimalai Nagar, focusing on vehicle exports. The company exited India in 2021 due to unprofitability and stiff competition. Tamil Nadu Chief Minister M.K. Stalin confirmed the talks, and Ford has submitted a letter of intent to the state government. The move could create 2,500 to 3,000 new jobs and reaffirms Ford's commitment to the Indian market.
