China's Chang'an Automobile Co. Ltd is planning to set up a factory in India with a capacity to manufacture 200,000 vehicles a year. The company recently visited Andhra Pradesh and Tamil Nadu and, according to sources, it is also looking for a local partner.

Chang'an Automobile, China’s oldest auto manufacturer, is headquartered in Chongqing. The company is a state-owned enterprise, which manufactures cars ranging from entry-level hatchbacks to sedans as well as sports utility vehicles, vans and pick-up trucks. It also has a range of electric and hybrid vehicles.

According to the company website, its brands include New Benni and Benni Mini in the hatchback category and Raeton in the higher segments.
 
While an e-mail questionnaire sent to the company was not immediately answered, sources in both the state governments confirmed that officials from Chang'an's head office have visited the states.

According to sources, the new facility could attract around Rs 1,000 crore during the initial phase.

In 2014, Beijing-based commercial-vehicle maker Beiqi Foton Motor Company announced plans for a factory at Chakan near Pune to produce a full range of commercial vehicles, but there has been no launch so far.
 
Sources added that the company would set up a facility with capacity to produce 200,000 units initially, which will be expanded gradually.

The company wants to keep its suppliers in the same complex or close by, sources added. This means, new automobile clusters would come up at Tada on the Andhra Pradesh-Tamil Nadu border, 55 km from Chennai. It may be that noted SriCity at Tada a business city is fast becoming a hub for manufacturing.

Recently, Isuzu has inaugurated its plant and Hero is planning to set up a facility next to SriCity. These companies are using Chennai's established suppliers base, while enjoying incentives, cheap land cost and access to the Government and bureaucrats.

Industry experts say the same factors could attract the Chinese maker also to choose Andhra Pradesh over Tamil Nadu. 

Recently, Japanese auto major Isuzu inaugurated a Rs 3,000 crore facility at SriCity.

An official said Chang'an is also scouting for a joint venture partner. Its joint ventures in China include the likes of Suzuki, Ford and PSA Peugeot Citroen.
 
It has six manufacturing bases in China and four research and development centres at Turin in Italy, Yokohama in Japan, Nottingham in England and Detroit in US.

ఏపీకి మరో భారీ ఆటోమొబైల్ ప్రాజెక్ట్ రాబోతోందా ?


శ్రీ సిటి దూకుడు చూశాక… ఇసుజు కొత్తగా ప్రారంభించిన ప్లాండ్ స్పీడ్ విన్నాక ఇపుడు మరో చైనా కంపెనీ ఆసక్తి చూపిస్తోంది. ఇప్పటికే వచ్చి ఎంక్వైరీ కూడా చేసుకుంది. అన్నీ ఓకే అయితే శ్రీసిటీలో ఓ ఏడాది కాలంలోనే ఇసుజి, హీరో తర్వాత మూడో మేజర్ బ్రాండ్ వచ్చేసినట్టే ఏపీకి !


చాంగ్ గన్ మోటార్స్. చైనాలో ఓల్డెస్ట్ ఆటోమొబైల్స్ కంపెనీ. చైనాతోపాటు యూరోప్ లోనూ జపాన్ లాంటి ఇరుగుపొరుగు దేశాల్లోనూ చాంగ్ గన్ యాక్టివిటీ ఉంది. ఫోర్డ్, ఇసుజి లాంటి కంపెనీలతో జాయింట్ వెంచర్లూ చేస్తుంది. ఇపుడు ఏపీలో పెట్టుబడి పెట్టేందుకు ఆసక్తి చూపిస్తోంది. 20 రోజుల నాడు శ్రీసిటీకి వచ్చి చాంగ్ గన్ ప్రతినిధులు పరిస్థితులు ఎలా ఉన్నాయో చూసుకొని వెళ్లారు. వెయ్యి కోట్ల రూపాయలతో మొదలుపెట్టి దశల వారీగా విస్తరించబోతున్న ప్రాజెక్టు త్వరలో పట్టాలెక్కేందుకు ఎక్కువ ఛాన్సులు కనిపిస్తున్నాయ్. ఏడాదికి 2 వేల కార్లు తయారు చేయాలనేది లక్ష్యమని త్వరలోనే పనులు మొదలవుతాయని కంపెనీ చెబుతోంది.



చాంగ్ గన్ చిన్నకార్ల నుంచి బడా ట్రక్కుల వరకూ ప్రతి విభాగంలోనూ చైనాలో యాక్టివ్ గా ఉంది. పర్సనలైర్డ్ కార్ల మార్కెట్ లో హోల్డ్ ఎక్కువ. మన మారుతీ తరహాలో. న్యూ బెన్నీ, బెన్నీ మినీ లాంటి బ్రాండ్లు రోడ్ల మీట కిటకిటలాడతాయ్ చైనాలో ! మొదట దక్షిణ భారతంలో ప్లాంట్ ప్రారంభించాలనుకున్న చాంగ్ గన్ తర్వాత తమిళనాడులోనా ఏపీలోనా అని తర్జన భర్జన పడింది. సత్యవేడులో స్పీడు చూశాక ఇక అక్కడే అయితే బావుంటుందని ఓ అభిప్రాయానికి వచ్చినట్టే కనిపిస్తోంది అంటున్నారు. పాట్నర్ షిప్ కోసం ప్రయత్నిస్తున్నామని… త్వరలో అంగీకారానికి వచ్చాక రంగంలోకి దిగుతామని చెప్పడం చూస్తుంటే చాంగ్ గన్ శ్రీ సిటీలో అడుగు పెడుతున్నట్టే కనిపిస్తోంది. ఇలాంటి భారీ ప్రాజెక్టులొస్తే… అనుబంధ విభాగాలు కూడా వేగంగా విస్తరించి ఇక శ్రీసిటీ ఇండస్ట్రియల్ సిటీగా విస్తరిస్తుంది వేగంగా !

CBN Kirshnapatnam port award chesina contract  plan lo part of port,  major Industrial cluster near by on the route to chennai and also power plant unnai......cluster+power projects was supposed to take part after port berths completion/in-progress as per that contract in later phase

 

taruvata mana deco a port CBN contract ni as is ga unchi nanduku kumarulam gariki amyamya mariyu gali gadi iron ore kosam kabja chesaru....a port malli vere vallu(any other gettting access) vaste "high customs dept activity" tho problem ani danni evadiki access ivvala...gali vari kosam a port ni ala tokki nara tesaru deco varu vere vallu rakunda....Illegal ga customs ni tappinchi iron ore exports kosam danni CBN ichina contract matrame finish ayyindi...

inka SEZ lu 120 sez lu daka pettaru deco varu...maximum anni land grabbing and bank loan tho end ayyayi....deco vari friends andaru farmers daggara dobbina land ni bank lo petti loan dobbesi gayab ayyaru....

 

Sricity  kuda TV9 favor ga news ivvataniki oka karanam 2009 election time lo adi ivvatam.....sricity kuda kali ga undi as port access was not there for industrialists park for long time...deco poyi gali gadi scam aginataruvata KKR industrialists ki access open chesaru port lo and that's when first companies started coming...

 

2004 election daka a port CBN di ani gola gola dobbi taruvata gali variki paniki vastundi ani CBN ichina contract alane uncharu...talk ayete bavayuga vallani longa desukunnaru antaru plus CBI kuda ade allgation chesindi.....industrial park matram and power plant vere vallaki vellindi

/*********2004 YSR statement..

 

 

Speaking to newspersons near Podili during his Rajiv pallebata programme, Dr. Reddy said almost all co-promoters selected by the Telugu Desam Government would be continued in the execution of all major projects, like the Hyderabad international airport, the Gangavaram port, the Krishnapatnam port and other projects in the hitech city. "The Congress Government will not stoop to political vendetta and affect industrialisation. We will even gloss over any minor irregularities," he said.

 

However, the Government would review one or two projects where land had been allotted at throw-away prices, like Rs. 50,000 per acre, in Hyderabad city. It had already cancelled the Formula One car race project, he said.

 

 

2) In HIGH COURT Jaffa official recorded statement

 

 

http://webcache.googleusercontent.com/search?q=cache:307FxTgH2kAJ:www.ysrcongress.com/document_view/68%3Fdownload%3Dyes+&cd=18&hl=en&ct=clnk&gl=us

 

The Krishnapatnam project, the Gangavaram Project, the EMAAR project, the Raheja Project, the Vodarevu project, privatization of Kakinada Sea Port, international airport at Shamshabad were all allocated during TDP regime. There were large number of allegations of pay offs in each of these deals. The News Papers were regularly carrying stories of corruption in each of these deals. I respectfully submit that as far as my knowledge goes, the Government headed by my late father did not go drastically against the established procedures and policies therefore there is a need to view these issues from the above perspective   

 

kani CBI villani bokkalo vesindi CBN contract ichadu ani kadu....villu CBN techina projects lo equations marchi vallato laluchi lu chesi dabbulu tesukunnanduku &misuse chesaru vatini

 

Ex: EMMAR lo state share mottani ettesaru....CBN AP govt ki 48% share unchadu...danni complete ga ettiesi vadi daggara dabbulu dobaru..same Raheja lo CBN ichina no of jobs equation relaxation ichi dabbulu dobbaru.....

 

Kastam emo CBN di....kani villu CBN kastanni edo personnel earnings laga feel ayyaru prati dantlo...

ప్రజలకి ఇవ్వన్నీ ఎక్కడ అర్ధం అవుతాయి ...అదే jaffa కాంఫిడెన్స్

Idi Acura ki copy laga vundi. These guys are too good in duplicating.

ChangAn is much more older company then Acura (hardly 30 years).. interestingly two of their models have similar logo with Acura & Toyota

ChanAn may be older automotive company that does not mean this model is not a copy of Acura. even Ambassdor (Hindustan motors) is older than Acura. Let us say hindustan motors comes up with new brand cars that look just like Acura (not just symbol but shape, features, power everything), can we say that is a duplicate or not?
