Suzuki planning third auto plant in India

The Associated Press -- By Yuri Kageyama, The Associated Press, thecanadianpress.com TOKYO - Suzuki Motor Corp. is planning a third vehicle plant in India to keep up with burgeoning sales, the Japanese small-car maker said Monday.

The plant will be up and running, perhaps as early as 2013, at the same site as its plant in the northern town of Manesar with a yearly production capacity of 250,000 vehicles, a company official said.

Suzuki holds a controlling 54 per cent stake in Maruti Suzuki Ltd., India's largest car maker.

Thank you to the labor unions in the USA which got higher salaries for all the workers which also helped send jobs overseas where costs are cheaper!
