Japan’s Mitsubishi Motors said it is considering India as a possible location for another manufacturing plant outside of Thailand. “We are planning to set up another manufacturing plant outside Thailand in the next couple of years and India is one country we are looking at,” said Masahiko Ueki, Mitsubishi’s executive officer and corporate general manager of Asia and the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN). The company owns facilities in China and Thailand. It will launch its “global small” car concept, the Mirage, this month in Thailand. (March 19, 2012)
