Sugato Sen, vice-chairman of Society of Indian Automobile Manufacturers (SIAM), revealed that Foton was to build a commercial vehicle factory in India. The move represented the huge business opportunity in the Indian market for Chinese manufactures.

The memorandum of understanding has been signed between Foton and Maharashtra government. A factory with 16.7 billion INR investments will be built within the next 5 years to manufacture heavy-duty trucks and passenger vehicles.
