The spokesperson stated that the recent job posting for a Product Manager, EV Platform, was not endorsed by Ford. Hence, the company urges caution against accepting such information without official confirmation.<\/p>\n<h2>What was the job posting?<\/h2>\n<p><img class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-397511 lazy-load\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.cartoq.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/Ford-India-EV-hiring-.jpg\" alt=\"Ford India EV hiring\" width=\"740\" height=\"1235\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.cartoq.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/Ford-India-EV-hiring-.jpg 740w, https:\/\/www.cartoq.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/Ford-India-EV-hiring--149x249.jpg 149w, https:\/\/www.cartoq.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/Ford-India-EV-hiring--376x628.jpg 376w, https:\/\/www.cartoq.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/Ford-India-EV-hiring--150x250.jpg 150w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 740px) 100vw, 740px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>For those who may not be aware of the situation, recently, a job posting by a Ford employee went viral on the internet. The new posting highlighted the requirement of a product manager for an EV platform for India. The post from the Ford employee, which was shared on LinkedIn, stated that they are looking for a product manager. It also emphasized the importance of driving innovation in EV platform products specific to the Indian market. The post had a link to Ford Global Careers page. However, the page, soon after going live, said, \u201cThis job is no longer available.\u201d<\/p>\n<h2>Other job postings from Ford India<\/h2>\n<p>In addition and prior to the job posting for the Product Manager position, Ford had posted several other job listings for other technical positions as well. These positions included Senior Engineer \u2013 PD (Body Exterior) and Manufacturing Digital Transformation Integration Architect Manager. These listings also indicated Ford&#8217;s intent to build a new team in India for its renewed operations in the Indian market.<\/p>\n<h2>What happened with Ford India?<\/h2>\n<p><img class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-293445 lazy-load\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.cartoq.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/New-Ford-EcoSport-Titanium-AT.jpg\" alt=\"New Ford EcoSport Titanium AT\" width=\"740\" height=\"409\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.cartoq.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/New-Ford-EcoSport-Titanium-AT.jpg 740w, https:\/\/www.cartoq.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/New-Ford-EcoSport-Titanium-AT-451x249.jpg 451w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 740px) 100vw, 740px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>The American carmaker&#8217;s Indian subsidiary, Ford India, made its exit from the Indian car market in September 2021. This left a lot of enthusiasts and industry experts wondering about the future of the company in India. Soon after its exit, the company&#8217;s Sanand plant in Gujarat was sold to Tata Passenger Electric Mobility. Ford retained its Tamil Nadu plant despite earlier plans to sell it. Ford reverted to its decision of selling the Tamil Nadu plant to JSW Group, creating a buzz in the country for its possible return.<\/p>\n<h2>Ford to focus on EVs<\/h2>\n<p><img class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-397514 lazy-load\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.cartoq.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/Ford-India-EV-plans-.jpg\" alt=\"Ford India EV plans\" width=\"740\" height=\"416\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.cartoq.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/Ford-India-EV-plans-.jpg 740w, https:\/\/www.cartoq.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/Ford-India-EV-plans--443x249.jpg 443w, https:\/\/www.cartoq.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/Ford-India-EV-plans--150x84.jpg 150w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 740px) 100vw, 740px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>The recent job posting for a Product Manager in the EV platform has sparked many speculations, one of them being that it will now focus on electric cars. It is believed that the company could be launching more electric vehicles in India to gain more market share in the less crowded EV market. Apart from EVs, Ford India has recently also filed a design patent for the new-generation Endeavour SUV. Speculations also point towards Ford&#8217;s possible re-entry into the mid-size SUV segment in India. Before exiting India, Ford India saw huge success, especially with the EcoSport SUV, hence it might be planning to launch a new mid-size SUV alongside larger and smaller SUV models as part of its comeback strategy.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/auto.economictimes.indiatimes.com\/news\/passenger-vehicle\/ford-making-a-comeback-is-it-for-real\/107257107\"  rel=\"noopener\">Source<\/a><\/p>\n<p>The post <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cartoq.com\/ford-comeback-indian-automotive-market-official-response\/\">Ford Responds To India Comeback Rumours<\/a> first appeared on <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cartoq.com\/\">Cartoq<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Over the last few weeks, speculation regarding the American automotive giant Ford\u2019s potential comeback to the Indian automotive market has been increasing.
