For the production of engines and axles of all cars and SUVs made by Mercedes Benz India

Made with an investment of Rs100 crore this plant is a part of the Rs700 crore investments pledged by Force Motors over the next two years, across its value chain for multiple products / business verticals.

This technologically modern plant is temperature and dust controlled to ensure best in class build quality. It has the modern technology needed for ensuring the production process with computer controlled precision equipment. The two modern hot test beds test 100% of the engines produced for quality and performance.

Speaking on the occasion, Prasan Firodia, MD, Force Motors, said, "The inauguration of this plant marks a significant step in our 45 year long association with Mercedes Benz. The association with Mercedes Benz India Car Plant alone spans over 19 years and has helped establish Force Motors' strength as a preferred supplier of critical and high precision aggregates to leading European Luxury Brands.

"This new plant will help Force Motors be more flexible in terms of the production capacity demands and will enable us to continue to produce engines and axles to the exacting standards expected by Mercedes Benz globally."
