Speaking on the sidelines of engineering expo Indee Cambodia, Ravi Sehgal, vice chairman of the Engineering Export Promotion Council of India (EEPC), said Tata International and Bajaj Auto will open manufacturing plants in Cambodia, with the former focusing on light commercial vehicles and Bajaj sticking to two and three wheelers.
