There may be others, but the only Packards I know of assembled in India were export vehicles that arrived Knocked Down (KD) .... meaning partially assembled. These were sent in crates out from Detroit with the necessary components still boxed. Many were equipped with special features and heavy duty components.
Here is a 1934 Packard configured in right-hand drive (RHD) that was exhibited this year at Amelia Island. If I recall, it came from India. The entire hood was done in chrome plating and there were other custom features...
