NEW DELHI: General Motors India registered a nearly 64 per cent growth in May 2005, selling 2,503 cars against 1,527 in the same month last year.

The company sold 1,610 Tavera, 615 Chevrolet Optras, 274 Opel Corsas and four units of the imported Forester sports utility vehicle last month.

The company said in a statement that it registered about 58 per cent growth in sales between January and May this year, at 13,114 cars. Mr P. Balendran, Vice President- Corporate Affairs at GM India, said, "To keep pace with the ever growing demand for Taveras and other Chevy cars, we are further ramping up production capacity at our Halol facility to 80,000 units after the recent hike to 60,000 units.

"On the anvil are several other initiatives such as the recently launched GM Service Plus offering 24/7 workshop facility and a `Free after 3 service' to make owning a GM vehicle an even more pleasurable experience."

GM India is a wholly owned subsidiary of General Motors Corporation. Besides the Chevrolet Optra, GM India manufactures the Chevrolet Tavera, Opel Corsa, Opel Corsa Sail and Opel Swing at its facility in Halol, Gujarat. GM India also sells the imported Opel Vectra and Chevrolet Forester.
