Tata Motors Ltd plans to set up a second factory in Bangladesh, one of its main export destinations for commercial vehicles, in six months to cater to growing sales of small and light commercial vehicles. India’s largest auto maker by sales revenue is the junior partner in a 60:40 joint venture with Bangladesh’s Nitol Motors Ltd for nearly two decades. Nita Co. Ltd, which has been the sole distributor of Tata Motors’ small, medium and heavy-duty trucks in Bangladesh since 1991, has an assembling unit for medium and heavy-duty trucks.
The new factory will assemble small and light commercial vehicles that have so far been imported from India, allowing Nita to avoid levies and price them more competitively. Currently 25,000 commercial vehicles are sold in Bangladesh in a year. Ahmed said the market is expected to grow three-fold in four years to 70,000 units and Nita will account for half the sales.
The new factory site would be finalized in two-three weeks, after which Nita will seek an approval from the senior management of Tata Motors. The unit will start production in six months. The facility will roll out 15,000 vehicles in the first year and reach 40,000 units in the next year. The second phase of the project would entail establishing a vendor base around the factory. crackcrack
