NEW DELHI, July 22 (Reuters) - India has rejected Chinese automaker BYD Co's (002594.SZ) proposal to set up a $1 billion factory in India in partnership with Hyderabad-based Megha Engineering and Infrastructure Ltd, the Economic Times reported on Saturday.

Reuters reported this month that BYD had submitted a $1 billion investment proposal to build electric cars and batteries in India in partnership with a local company.

Reuters could not independently verify the contents of The Economic Times' report.

India's Department of Commerce, Department for Promotion of Industry and Internal Trade (DPIIT) had sought opinions from other departments on the investment proposal, the report said.

"Security concerns with respect to Chinese investments in India were flagged during the deliberations," the report quoted an Indian official as saying.

Why don't they setup a factory in their deeper than Himalayas fren Pakistan or shonar Bongoland? :(

Bongos cannot manufacture a cycle on their own, and have to import parts and spares from China. Recently Germany launched a probe to look into that matter, as many Chinese brands have been shipping bicycles to Europe, with made in Bangladesh tag.


You have to wonder why there is no car or motorcycle brands of their own for a nation of 200 million.
 
The only time to thank India. :enjoy:

It was probably a proposal to assemble vehicles from imported knocked down units, while trying to get subsidies and incentives from PLI schemes.

And CCP holds a stake in BYD, so probably that angle might have been evaluated too.
Although CCP allowed India's illegal independence is its biggest mistake. But is it true that CCP owns a stake in BYD? as far as I know. Buffett also has a stake in BYD. Is India provoking US?
