In a major milestone for Indian automotive manufacturing, Force Motors has rolled out the 100,000th engine from its advanced assembly facility in Chennai, built exclusively for BMW Group India. Established in 2015, the Chennai plant has become a key pillar in BMW Group’s localisation strategy in India. With automated assembly lines, digital integration, and rigorous quality systems, the facility adheres to BMW’s global production standards while contributing to the ‘Make in India’ vision.
The commemorative event saw the presence of top officials from both organisations, including Marcus Wollens, Vice President, BMW Production Network 2, BMW AG; Thomas Dose, Managing Director, BMW Group Plant Chennai; and Prasan Firodia, Managing Director, Force Motors Ltd.
Wollens said, “This 100,000th engine milestone is a powerful symbol of our Indo-German synergy and shared vision. It reflects a decade of engineering excellence, innovation, and a mutual commitment to quality.”
