India is a tough place to do business alrite. But not primarily due to red tape and infrastructure. Its coz customers wont take any BS about GM’s brand name and will buy primarily on the strentgh and Value for Money of the product.

Spark failed primarily due to its flawed pricing. It was priced higher than its primary competitors from Hyundai and Suzuki. Also, GM does not have the kind of after sales network that those two have.

India is a tough place to do business, given its insufficient infrastructure, and more-than-sufficient red tape.

If GM sticks around, they’ll do fine, as they have in China.

What classic GM. Don’t pay attention to now. We have big plans for the future. “Oh sorry, the ball is in my other hand.”
