Chery sold 1.1 million vehicles globally during January-May 2026, up 7.2 per cent from a year earlier, while exports rose 69.5 per cent to 752,755 vehicles.Chinese automaker Chery on Monday said it has no plans for direct investment or technology transfer in India, seeking to clarify reports surrounding its discussions with Tata Motors.
The clarification follows a Reuters report on June 3 that Tata Motors would use the Freelander platform, produced through a joint venture between Chery and Jaguar Land Rover in China, for its upcoming Avinya electric vehicles to be manufactured in Tamil Nadu.
In a statement cited by China’s Global Times, Chery said its ongoing discussions with the Tata Group are limited to the supply of vehicle-related components and do not involve platform transfers, technology licensing or technology exports.
The company added that media reports referring to “platform transfer”, “platform authorisation”, “technology authorisation” or “technology export” were not consistent with the nature of the discussions currently under consideration.
The clarification comes amid heightened scrutiny of business collaborations between Indian and Chinese companies, particularly in sectors involving advanced technology and manufacturing.
Chery sold 1.1 million vehicles globally during January-May 2026, up 7.2 per cent from a year earlier, while exports rose 69.5 per cent to 752,755 vehicles.
