Made-in-India Mercedes GLC to be exported to the US

According to a media report, Mercedes-Benz will export the made-in-India GLC SUV to the US. The first shipment of cars built at the Mercedes plant near Pune is expected to reach the US next month. 

The carmaker will use its global production network to meet the growing demand for models like the GLC. Besides, overcapacity at its Indian plant could also be the reason why Mercedes has decided to import cars from the country into the US.

The GLC is one of the most popular Mercedes-Benz models in the US and is also one of the top-selling luxury compact crossovers. Currently, GLCs for the US market are built in Bremen, Germany. Mercedes-Benz has a manufacturing facility in Vance, Alabama, but the company reportedly has no plans to build the GLC there.

Ford is the other manufacturer exporting cars made in India to the US. The company currently exports the EcoSport built at its Chennai plant.
