The company has used the premium brand image of the Chevrolet brand and extended it quite effectively in the small car category, as the brand communicates a ‘best in its class positioning’. After the company registered a figure of 60,000 units in the year 2007, moving ahead at a growth rate of 63% as compared to 2006, GM India has already attained a sales figure of 65,000 units till the month of November, 2008 (SIAM). “We expect to sell close to 75,000 to 78,000 units this year, registering a growth of about 20% in 2008,” asserts Balendran. Well, at a time when the overall auto industry is growing at a meagre rate of 2-5%, GM India is pacing past all others with a 20% growth rate and this is surely raising many eyebrows towards GM in the sector.

As Karl Slym, Managing Director and President, GM India declares, “We added Spark, U-VA, Optra Magnum and Captiva to the Chevrolet brand as it is important to clarify to the customers what the GM brand stands for in India.” The company is too optimistic for the year 2009, as they plan to launch a slew of new products in the Indian market. “We will be launching a Sedan above Optra namely Cruze sometime during the middle of next year. We are also planning to launch a mini car next year, details of which will be announced later. In addition, we are also planning to launch some upgraded versions of existing models next year,” states Balendran. In the immediate scenario, in order to push demand for December, GM India is taking advantage of the 4% CenVat cut by the government and is reducing prices of vehicles across portfolios, up to a maximum of Rs.30,500.
