Industrialist Ganga Prasad Birla died last night at 87 after a prolonged illness. His Rs 5,000-crore business included companies like Hindustan Motors, Orient Paper and Industries, Hyderabad Industries, Avtec and Nigeria Engineering Works.
Eyeing a revival, CK-GP Birla group's Hindustan Motors Ltd said it expected sales of its flagship 'Ambassador' cars to go up by 50 per cent in the next three years to 18,000 units annually.
