Electric GLC Marks New Manufacturing Milestone

Mercedes-Benz India also confirmed an additional investment of Rs 200 crore in 2026 towards manufacturing operations, new product start-ups and digitisation. Its cumulative investment in India has now reached Rs 3,200 crore, which the company describes as the highest among luxury carmakers in the country.
