New Delhi, Nov. 19 : US automobile manufacturer Ford is studying the feasibility of launching a compact car in India that will be imported as a completely-knocked-down kit from a manufacturing hub in Thailand.

The plan leverages India's free trade agreement signed with Thailand in October 2003. Ford is building a car plant in Thailand in alliance with Japanese automobile company Mazda. Ford wants to introduce the small car to India in 2009-10.
