Ford commenced its operations in India by establishing a 50-50 joint venture partnership with Mahindra (Mahindra Ford India Ltd) in the mid-1990s. By March 1998, Ford took its ownership to 72%, renamed the company Ford India Private Limited. Over the years, the company has offered some impressive vehicles; however, these cars often fail to maintain buyer interest past the initial few months following their release. In 2021, Ford India announced that it would stop making cars at its two plants – Maraimalai Nagar, near Chennai, and Sanand in Gujarat. The firm left India due to over a decade of financial struggles, $2 billion in losses, and a market share below 2%. Intense competition from domestic brands and the COVID-19 pandemic added to its woes. As of 2025, Ford is showing keen interest to re-enter the Indian market, confirming its intention to utilize the Maraimalainagar plant for manufacturing for export purposes.
