Jeep is on a progressive growth path in India, having recorded an impressive 144% year-on-year growth, this year. The locally-assembled Jeep Wrangler and the made-in-India Jeep Compass have shown remarkable retail performance in the premium SUV segments. We will continue this positive momentum through 2021 and continue to increase our distribution network, which will play a significant role when we launch new SUVs in premium segments, in 2022.”

Dealer Principal, VTK Automobiles Sree Venkata Teja Kethineni said, “Jeep India has shown impressive growth this year despite the challenging market conditions. New SUVs coming to Jeep showrooms next year means that we have to start expanding our retail operations in Chennai. I am pleased to open our second 3S Jeep sales and service facility in a prime locality in the city that will offer a premium experience to customers. We have a number of new vehicle deliveries today on this auspicious day. VTK’s growing presence in Chennai gives us the opportunity to gain more market share in Tamil Nadu.”
