Meghna Automobiles Ltd (MAL) was displaying two cars under South Korean brand Kia, the 1,500cc Seltos and 1,600cc Cerato.

Meghna Automobiles has a "screwdriver operation" in Northern Dhaka suburbs (probably Konabari or Gazipur proper) where they assemble the Kia Seltos and Cerato models from Indian-made engines, complete suspension assemblies, body panels and other major sub-assemblies.

This is highly unsatisfactory - because most of the value-addition (I'd say close to 90% or more) is being made in India, when ideally anything sold here should have at least 50% labor-value-addition or more. Screwing things together does not help a workforce learn anything like engine or suspension assembly or building sheetmetal body panels from scratch.

The Lax attitude of the Bangladeshi customs people are to blame because they allowed this (I'm sure bribes and corruption were involved).

You cannot get away with this in a country like India - they won't allow this sort of thing in a million years.

What the Bangladesh govt. should do is what they did for cellphone mfg. - tax the hell out of imported large vehicle assemblies (sheetmetal quarter panels, bonnets etc.) or major engine sub-assemblies for cars and ease-off on taxation for more discrete imported parts like engine parts. Which would essentially force companies like Meghna to set up engine-assembly and body-stamping operations. That is what we need.

Jaecoo and Omoda are sub-brands of Chery cars from China. As such quality should not be too bad. For myself - Chinese cars are still a bit of a question mark. More sold on major global brands.
