Detailed Solution

The above statement is True.
By setting up the production operations in India, Ford is not only tapping the Indian market for automobiles but also using the available cheap factors of production. Ford is an American MNC that has operated in India since 1995. They set up their first operation in Chennai. By 2017, Ford was selling 88,000 cars in the Indian market. But India also has the availability of engineers and other workers at lower costs. This, combined with the concessions given by the government, meant that the cost of production for Ford was comparatively very low in India. Hence, in 2017, about 1,81,000 cars were exported.
