Ford has announced plans to invest $500m to expand its India operations, as part of an aggressive new investment strategy in the region.

The US car maker said a significant part of the investment would be used to expand its manufacturing plant in Chennai, India where Ford has plans to begin production of a new small car.

The new investment lifts Ford's total financial commitment in India to more than $875m, underscoring its plan to use India as a key production hub for small cars in Asia and Africa.
