General Motors ,known as Chevrolet In India, the Global Major known for the range of cars it offers to its customers is considering India for launching two of its most popular cars – Chevrolet Corvette and Camaro, after encountering high February sales. In India the company exists offering a limited range of cars to the customers with one Hatchback – Chevrolet Beat , SUV – Chevrolet Captiva and Chevrolet Tavera and a recently launched Sedan – Chevrolet Cruze along with the Chevrolet Optra.
Timothy E Lee, President, International operations of General Motors has stated “Popular cars like the Chevrolet Corvette and Camaro will be brought to India and sold in select boutique showrooms in small numbers, as these cars will be imported as Complete Built Units (CBU) and the import duties will be high,” Lee in addition to this also said “The import duty required to sell the other kinds of Chevy vehicles like Corvette or Camaro is quite extensive to do it for the buying public. We will have a boutique offering for those kinds of brands but those will never be the volume products for India. Every one of those products will create its own space in India, but it will be very small in numbers”.
Earlier at the Auto Expo 2010 while presenting the Camaro, GM refused of any plans of bringing Camaro to India but now the cars are bound to enter the Indian Market.
Reluctance can still be seen as company officials have not revealed any details of the official launch dates and all we wish is to see these globally acclaimed cars running on the Indian turf soon.
Price Of Chevrolet Corvette and Chevrolet Camaro In India
There are very exclusive and expansive cars and will be imported as CBU – Completely Built Unit, that means there will be heavy premium involved on these cars as heavy duties and taxed will be levied on these cars. These would surely not come cheap and will not be for everyone. There are exclusive beauties will be expansive. We will update this section for the price as soon as its officially announces.

Considering the fact that the two cars would be imported as a C.B.U rather than being built in the chevy production plants in india…the cost of the camaro is very likely to be anywhere around Rs. 48,00,000 while that of the corvette could range anywhere above the Rs. 80,00,000 if its the ZR1 model they are talking about
if only our govt. were kind enough to wave off these excessively high import duties 
@ jitendra patel…..the cost of camaro could have been around your expectations mark if only the G.M were kind enough to to manufacture these cars in india itself…..the high import duties are bound to scale up the cost of any product in here
