Current status
Ford entered the Indian Market in 1995, and quickly became known for its models such as the Ford EcoSport Figo and Endeavour.

Since then, Ford has sold its Gujarat factory to Tata Motors. It also ceased production of domestic cars.
Ford India continues to offer services, parts and warranty support despite the suspension of manufacturing. Ford’s attention has shifted to global export operations and the development of electric vehicles.
