Japanese automaker Mitsubishi Motors (MMC) is planning to increase the production capacity and construct a new manufacturing facility in Indonesia.
Both the moves are expected to support the company to address the increasing demands for vehicles in the emerging Asian markets.
MMC spokesman said, "It is true that we are considering strengthening our operations in Indonesia, but nothing has been decided as of now,"
The manufacturer along with its partners is planning to construct a new manufacturing facility in Indonesia with an investment of about JPY40b ($422.90m) and is expected to start from March 2017, according to a report from the Nikkei business daily.
Following the construction of the new plant, the annual production capacity of the manufacturer is expected to reach to 100,000 vehicles.
According to the Mitsubishi spokesman, the automaker is planning to generate a net profit of JPY100bn ($1.06bn) during 2017.
Earlier, the company had launched the new eK Wagon and eK Custom tall wagon minicar models in Japan that were the first vehicles developed by the joint venture established by MMC and Nissan called NMKV.
