1,00,000th Made-in-India BMW Car Rolls Out Of Chennai Facility

Started operations in March 2007, the 1,00,000th locally manufactured car recently rolled out from BMW Group’s Chennai plant, which runs on 100 percent green electricity. The iconic BMW Individual 740Li M Sport Edition received this special badge.

Currently, the Bavarian Motors produces as many as 13 models locally. These include BMW 2 Series Gran Coupe, 3 Series, 3 Series Gran Limousine, M340i, 5 Series, 6 Series Gran Turismo, 7 Series, X1, X3, X4, X5, BMW X7, and MINI Countryman.

Commenting on this occasion, Mr. Thomas Dose, Managing Director, BMW Group Plant Chennai said-

It is a day of great joy and pride for us as the 1,00,000th ‘Made-in-India’ car drives out of our assembly lines. This accomplishment is a result of the team’s hard work, efficiency and consistency which ensures that every BMW or MINI car locally produced here in Chennai is of the same international quality standards as any other BMW plant across the world. Highly skilled employees, advanced manufacturing processes along with state-of-the-art technology and a strong focus on sustainability provided the necessary ingredients for this success. At the same time, increased localisation of up to 50 per cent and a robust collaboration with local supplier partners has created more value for everyone in the ecosystem. BMW Group Plant Chennai looks forward to raising the bar in sustainable manufacturing excellence further as the India story grows.
