Ford to resume operation in TN with ₹3.3K-cr engine unit
The New Indian Express
|November 01, 2025
IN a major boost to Tamil Nadu's industrial landscape, Ford Motor Company on Friday announced that it would restart manufacturing operations at its shuttered Chennai plant to produce a new line of next-generation engines.
The decision marks the American automaker's first major industrial investment in India since its exit from the domestic vehicle market three years ago.
The move was formalised through a memorandum of understanding (MoU) exchanged between Ford and the Tamil Nadu government in the presence of Chief Minister M K Stalin, Deputy Chief Minister Udhayanidhi Stalin and Industries Minister T R B Rajaa at the Secretariat.
As part of the agreement, Ford will invest ₹3,250 crore to retool and modernise its facility at Maraimalai Nagar, about 45 km south of Chennai, with production slated to begin in 2029. The upgraded plant will have an annual capacity of 2.35 lakh engines and is expected to create over 600 direct jobs, in addition to indirect employment across the supply chain, according to the state government.
