    General Motors in India whose sales figures have not been very encouraging in the recent times, is gearing up for a comprehensive product rejig. The company had recently revealed the axing of the[URL="https://www.zigwheels.com/forum/posts/1077-chevrolet-spin-up-for-a-2017-launch"] Spin MPV that was supposed to launch in India this year[/URL] and was displayed at the Indian Auto Expo.

The company has reportedly produced about 3,900 units of the vehicle to dispatch in the coming month and the production will be discontinued this month, reported ET Auto. ​ In a market where MPV doesn’t necessarily see a huge demand (except Toyota Innova), Enjoy’s plain exterior design and dated interiors see its sales volumes drop soon after its launch. Restructuring its operation in India, GM is reported to be planning to shut its Halol plant, and is up for sale. Earlier the date was proposed to be August this year, now is reported to be postponed to March 2017. ​ [ATTACH=CONFIG]n12978[/ATTACH] General Motors is witnessing poor sales volumes in India, and is focusing more on exports to increase their revenues. Reports say Chevrolet is also planning to discontinue Sail sedan and Sail U-VA hatchback from India by the end of this fiscal. The company confirmed launch of the [URL="http://www.zigwheels.com/forum/posts/4020-auto-expo-2016-world-debut-chevrolet-beat-activ-and-essentia"]Essentia compact sedan[/URL] (which will be replacing the Sail sedan), Beat Activ Crossover in the coming two years. Existing models like the Beat hatch, Cruze and Trailblazer will get an update in the same time period.
