Recently-Won Maruti Udyog HVAC Business Allows Delphi to Continue Expanding Profile in India

    LOCKPORT, N.Y., Nov. 10 -- Delphi Automotive Systems
continues to expand its presence in India, recently winning a new
contract to supply heating, ventilation and air conditioning (HVAC) systems to
the country's largest automaker.
    Through its operation in the Greater Noida District, Delphi's Harrison
Thermal division will assemble HVAC units for Maruti Udyog Limited, which has
approximately 70 percent of India's automotive market share.
    The contract, valued at USD$40 million over five years, supports the
assembly of the Maruti Zen, the company's one-liter mini-car.  Delphi is
scheduled to begin production in the fourth quarter of 2000.
    "Becoming a partner in the success of a strong, demanding industry leader
like Maruti is absolutely critical to growing our business in India," said
Jeffrey A. Day, director of Asia Pacific operations, Delphi Harrison Thermal
Systems.
    "It also reaffirms our commitment to providing comprehensive local support
for all of our customers in the Asia Pacific region, and illustrates our
ability to offer world class air conditioning solutions to a wide variety of
global customers."
    The HVAC assemblies will come from the division's first wholly owned
operation in the Asia Pacific region.  Delphi will also supply
air-conditioning compressors as well as condensers.
    Delphi Automotive Systems India began manufacturing HVAC and brazed
aluminum heat exchanger products in the fourth quarter of 1998 in a
140,000-square-foot facility shared by Delphi's Chassis division.
    Five of Delphi's seven divisions have manufacturing operations in India,
all of which are wholly owned and certified for QS 9000 and ISO 9000.  Other
products in Delphi's growing range of India-produced automotive solutions
include catalytic converters, evaporative canisters, wire harnesses, half
shafts, and steering columns.
    Delphi Automotive Systems , with headquarters in Troy, Mich.,
USA, is a world leader in automotive component and systems technology.
Delphi's three business sectors -- Dynamics & Propulsion; Safety, Thermal &
Electrical Architecture; and Electronics & Mobile Communications -- provide
comprehensive product solutions to complex customer needs.  Delphi has
approximately 201,000 employees and operates 168 wholly owned manufacturing
sites, 38 joint ventures, 51 customer centers and sales offices, and 27
