Kia's statement on its rumoured exit from Andhra Pradesh

Earlier this week, there were reports suggesting that Kia might relocate its production facility out of Andhra Pradesh. The carmaker has now released an official statement denying all reports and termed them as untrue.

Kia's official statement:

The recent reports about relocation of our manufacturing facility outside of Andhra Pradesh are not true. We are receiving full support from the State Government of Andhra Pradesh under the dynamic leadership of Shri Jagan Mohan Reddy. Kia has a long term commitment to India market and has made an investment of USD 1.1 bn in the manufacturing plant at Anantpur. We will continue to offer world class, made-in-Anantpur vehicles and innovative mobility experience to our valuable customers in India. Request consumers to refrain from reports which do not cover these facts.
