In 2019, the erstwhile PSA group launched the Citroën brand in India along with manufacturing operations through a vehicle assembly plant in Thiruvallur and a powertrain facility in Hosur (both via JVs with CK Birla Group). Consequently, the Stellantis group has increased its investment in the JVs with CK Birla and is now a majority shareholder . The Thiruvallur facility produces the C5 Aircross SUV, C3 & E-C3 for Citroën India. The Hosur plant builds gearboxes primarily for exports and manufactures engines for domestic needs and exports.
