GM to open technical center in India

GM announced that it is opening a technical center in Bangalore, India, which will focus on engineering and research and development work in support of GM's global portfolio.

GM will invest approximately $21 million (U.S.), in facilities and technical infrastructure for the technical center, with operations scheduled to begin in Summer 2003. Engineering will conduct projects for export in critical areas such as computer-aided design (CAD), computer-aided engineering (CAE) and computer-aided manufacturing (CAM). Research and Development (R&D) will focus on high value R&D work to complement current research programs and undertake new exploratory research projects. This new organization adds to GM's engineering capability in Asia Pacific, complementing similar technical centers in Australia and China.
