In 2021, Ford stopped making cars in India. With the market there being mostly dominated by two-wheelers, Ford lost approximately $2 billion in its India business, prompting the company to begin slowing down its operations. General Motors has also experienced similar issues finding success in the country. These problems are due in large part to different needs in the market and predictions not panning out as anticipated, which leads companies like Ford and GM to pull back and focus more on profitability.

Always nice to have more competition but I think companies like Ford, GM and even Toyota to an extent have failed to come up with the kinds of cars that are preferred in India. Kia came to India only a couple of years ago and they're killing it here with their SUVs because they understand the market. Local manufacturers like Tata and Mahindra are also offering very compelling products nowadays. If an Indian manufacturer is able to match or exceed the level of quality and reliability of a foreign manufacturer, I'm obviously going to buy from the Indian manufacturer. Foreign companies need to innovate more to keep up. I'd never buy a Volkswagen for instance because the models they bring to India are years behind the ones they sell in the rest of the world in terms of features, safety, etc. It feels like such companies couldn't care less about India and are only here to make quick profits by selling junk. Case and point, just take a look at the Polo that they sell in India vs the Polo they sell in Europe.

@@StopCensoringTheTruth Not sure if you're being sarcastic but I have driven European cars. The only ones worth buying are luxury cars (which are always about low volume, high price so most people wouldn't buy them) and even then there are more affordable alternatives. Take a look at the Polo GT that they sell outside India vs what they sell in India. There's no way I'm buying that TRASH for that price. Indian automakers like Tata and Mahindra have actually come a long way in providing affordable, roomy and comfortable cars. You should try them out before you comment. Also, not everyone cares for these "driving dynamics" as much as they do about fuel efficiency, space, interior quality, features, after sales support, reliability and so on. I feel sorry that you have such a simplistic motion for what a car should be. What are these Chinese cars that you speak of?

As a person who lives in India and my father was involved with their entrance I can tell you it because American management was out of touch with Indian consumers. They have products within the international and American markets that would have appealed to Indian joint families. They refused to see that a bigger car like the expedition and explore which would have appealed to joint families if locally manufactured would have been priced competitively. What happened to ford they deserve they refused to listen to anybody and used outdated ideas on the Indian market they got what they deserved.

I don't think that Tesla will do something big because Tesla don't have any plan of manufacturing in India which means that due to 100% import duties charged by India on imported cars will destroy Tesla's plan to capture the EV market of India. Those taxes and restrictions will make Tesla unappealing and people will choose Jaguar I pace instead of 3x overpriced Tesla. The second reason why Tesla is going to fail is TATA. Tata had already annexed the EV market of India by launching cars like Nexon EV and Altroz EV. These cars have got 5 star safety ratings just like any Tesla car, Tata are very cheap and feature loaded. Of course you don't need features like lane assist for idiots who drive on wrong side of national highway 😂. The condition of roads in India is so bad that half of the Tesla's safety features won't work. In India, every road gives you a feel of off roading.

True global automakers are Hyundai Group (Hyundai, Kia) and Toyota. They, AFAIK are in every major market (India, Europe, Americas) and have decent market shares in each of those markets. Why? Because they are re-inventing themselves for every market. In India, they sell cars from $5000 to around $40000, which gives an entry point into the brand at multiple price points (like Samsung). Toyota meanwhile captured with the One Model to rule them all strategy (like Apple) with extremely successful Innova, Etios models. This shows that if you put your honest effort and energy, you can be. But Ford and GM were trying to Americanize the Indian market and those huge, bulky, expensive and laggy-software cars just don't sell well in a densely populated nation like India.

Ford made some good cars in India, I still drive an Ecosport, and its a great little car; but they did not update their cars for YEARS, and they totally could not compete with KIA, Hyundai or even TATA and Mahindra these days. At the end of the day, the only people buying ford were the ones who cared about cars that were fin to drive; and Ford did not even bother advertising their cars as fun. Was a complete mismatch between what Ford wanted to be and what it actually was. They could have been a premium but fun to drive brand; but they tried to compete to be the cheapest. Its not possible to beat the Indian and Korean companies at that.

The Chinese market don’t mind buying American as long as that car is marketed as “luxury” or at the very least in the “premium” category. Cadillac, Tesla and Buick does a decent job of keeping up this image.

Brands like TATA came into the picture, Better Quality Cars . ( Interiors, Exteriors, Performance) Imagine TATA Harrier / Safari being launched in USA. 4. The Ford Maintenance was expensive . 5.

And dev country roads are quite poor, bumpy, and you develop all kinds of problems that need repair. Not to mention my pet theory which is "lemons" are always shipped to dev countries (not just lemon vehicles but anything mechanical seems to always have defects in these countries, it's as if the manufacturers ship the rejects destined for developed countries to undeveloped countries; I'm pretty sure this is true but it's hard to prove and mainstream media doesn't report on this).

Seltos was and is popular as it is a new car. People are looking forward to cars like Palisade, Skoda Slavia, Elantra (facelift) because we are not a country which will buy cars blindly. We want all the modern luxuries and amenities in cars that are sold in Europe or US. Ford took us for granted way too long.

At this point Fortuner was for 30L Endeavour for 33L... people only got them as second had to make them a bit affordable.

Ford did get Ecosport but without regular updated and last update was minimal in updates..... so who would want to spend something for an older model??? Also, Harrier was well received because its based on the Range Rover platform, since Tatas know only a handful of Range Rovers can be sold in India due to its cost.

The fact is US companies may shout about innovation but are not innovative. Innovation is the name now given to following what others are doing and what your bosses want you to do. Actual innovation in name of products is zero. Ford, GM and the grand 3 of US automobile would not have existed today in US too if the socialistic govt bailout was not there for them. American corporates talk about market forces but are not able to handle the same. Yes India and many of the developing countries are Price sensitive, didn't the Ford or GM bosses knew about it before going in. If not then they should not hold on to their seats and if yes then why they were not ready to adapt according to the market condition. Ford and GM thinks that they can change the consumer behaviour but they must remember the famous saying in Capitalistic society that "Customer is the King". Who would pay for a inferior product compared to Japanese cars at a premium just because they are huge toys to boost ego. Remember when Honda and Toyota would be giving ads for 40 MPG ford and GM would say it had revolutionized fuel consumption with just 35mpg.

Owner of a 2015 Ford Figo TDCi Trend here. Ford in terms of safety is underrated. My brother, dad and mom were in the car when facing a side on by a lorry. Lorry took away the side mirror and dented the side heavily. Any Swift to i10 would have rolled over. But due to the weight distribution in Figo and its heavy durable materials, the car got away with a huge dent and a headlamp pop. Ford never tried to sell an affordable version of cars like the Taurus, Mondeo or Fusion. Even the Falcon could have made a mark. There is a reason why Honda City sells like Hot Cakes in India and one reason is its affordability. Had Ford ever tried to get some quality sedans at a bracket of 13-26L, they could have had a better competition. Yes, I know about the Fiesta, but they were too quick with the Fiesta. It was overpriced when it came out in 2011, starting at 10L I think. Ford management literally treated India like a 3rd class country. We had to wait 10 years for a single Endeavour facelift and 12 for a Figo facelift. Ford never tried the Indian market thoroughly.

Ford management couldn't understand Indian mindset. Hyundai, Kia etc cracked the code and got established soon. Ford is a typical American MNC, goes in with big investment comes back empty handed. Then blame on local governments, while competitors make profit.

Indian car market is evolving, people are moving towards safe and performance oriented cars , check vw group recent launches and mahindra too …. Ford could have leveraged this legacy that they build in past decade … I personally own a Ecosport top model really love this car … if ford comes back will buy another ford too . But ford failed to understand the market and that vacuum will be filled up by vw and skoda cars now ….

I grew up seeing Ford cars and trucks made in Brazil everywhere. Ford, GM and Volkswagen, these three dominated the car market in my childhood. But a series of management mistakes and bad products made Ford give up the light truck market and, later, the car market and leave Brazil completely. Well... the main European and Asian players continue to invest here, even after some bad years in the economy... and now several Chinese are coming in, assembling their products here with local partners... Is the European and Asian business vision less immediate and more resilient? I suspect that soon we will know who won and who lost... PS: Ford EcoSport was a project born in Brazil and later produced in other countries...

@@aburetik4866 Yeah, and ghosts are buying those Hyundais, Suzukis, Tatas and even to a smaller extent Mercedes and BMWs? Sober up man. Ford and GM pulled out because they misunderstood the market or their own product line-up/ strengths. Ford was never a mass market manufacturer, especially for emerging markets. It should have tried to be more exotic like BMW and Mercedes with some mid price SUVs, that although have a smaller presence, have a strong consumer base. Instead they tried to wrestle with the Japanese. Looks like Ford didn't learn the lesson from their own home market on that front.

No new design language was there. one model the Eco sport; that was popular but no other came to fill the gap afterward. They should have listened to what Indian buyers really wanted. For instance, the Kia Seltos look way better. Not appreciated the design followed by Ford. Our indigenous brands will take care of that.
