NEW YORK -- Ford Motor will shut down auto manufacturing in India, the American company said Thursday, cutting its losses after years of struggling to compete in what once looked like a promising market.

Both of the company's assembly plants in India will be shuttered. Production for the Indian market is ending "immediately," and manufacturing for export to other Asian countries will wrap up by mid-2022. Ford said the restructuring will affect about 4,000 employees.
