"Great Wall Motors, China’s largest utility vehicle maker, is planning to set up an India unit, likely to be named Haval Auto, India Haval, or India Haval Auto Sales. Chinese automakers are undoubtedly looking to India as a hedge to the slowdown in China. This was evident in SAIC launching the MG brand in India. Great Wall will surely look to buy-out underutilized plants of existing manufacturers in the country to jump-start its operations. It is planning to participate at the New Delhi Auto Expo in 2020. We can expect Great Wall to follow a similar strategy as SAIC’s MG Motors, prioritizing locally produced SUVs, while also introducing EVs, given its expertise in making batteries." – Vinay Piparsania
