Troubles for General Motors India, the Indian arm of the American carmaker General Motors haven’t ended even after the Tavera recall. The automaker is expected to face a penalty of Rs 11 crore on charges of corporate fraud as a government probe panel investigates into the company’s affairs.
The carmaker has apparently committed corporate fraud by changing the company data related to the vehicles manufactured and sold in India during the period 2005 to 2012 and has confessed to the charges.
The government probe panel states that the company’s top management was involved in the irregularities in exhaust emissions test and the same couldn’t have taken place without being in the knowledge of top level management including the CEOs, MD and persons from the carmaker’s global engineering department.
About 20 people have been fired by the carmaker after the internal probe which led to the surfacing of the manufacturing malpractices.
