According to the passenger car and SUV manufacturer, it had invested $280 million in the Jeep Compass project.
"The local production schedule of the Jeep Compass is firmly on track and we are all set to begin local production of the Jeep brand's Global SUV by June this year," said Kevin Flynn, President and Managing Director, FCA India.
"One of the important highlights of the Jeep Compass is that both its export as well as the India models will be identical in terms of build and quality. We will export to international right-hand drive markets from India."
The SUV is expected to be launched in the third quarter of calendar year 2017.
FCA had launched the Jeep brand in the Indian market in August 2016 with its completely built units (CBU).
