Panjim (Goa): South Korean auto major Kia Motors is looking to export its made-in-India mid-sized SUV Seltos to various global markets like Africa and South America. The company, which has set up its manufacturing base in Andhra Pradesh with an installed production capacity of 3 lakh units, will roll out the model in India later this month.
“We are looking at regions like South Africa, South America and South Asian countries for exporting Seltos. But it is going to be a small number as our main focus remains India,” Kia Motors India Head Marketing and Sales Manohar Bhat told reporters here.
Other markets like Europe and North America would be catered from the South Korean plant, he added.
Kia Motors India has already started production of Seltos at its Anantapur-based facility.
The company is initially looking to begin with a production capacity of one lakh units per annum and then gradually ramp it up to three lakh units per annum.
