FCA India had a runaway success with the Compass, rolled out from its Ranjangaon facility in Maharashtra which is a JV between Fiat and the Tatas.
Within two months of launch this July at a starting price of Rs 14.95 lakh, the company had sold over 10,000 units of Compass and from last month it began exports to Australia and Japan. It shipped 600 right-hand drive Compass to these markets from the Mumbai Port.
The Ranjangaon-produced SUV with over 65 per cent local content will go to more international markets through the ongoing quarter of 2017.
FCA India has invested US $280 million in the plant to support local production and has already recovered this amount with the sale of the first 10,000 units.
