Volkswagen Group India sales spurt
The Volkswagen Group registered a 66 percent growth in sales in India from January to October 2008. The three group brands – Audi, Skoda and Volkswagen – together delivered 16,695 cars to customers in India in the last ten months as against 10,055 cars sold last year in the corresponding period.
According to the company, the significant increase in Volkswagen Group sales reflect its growing presence in the Indian market and highlight the mounting interest in its range of cars.
The company's Chakan plant is coming up ahead of schedule and will be officially opened by the end of March 2009. It will start with the production of the Skoda Fabia and then follow it up with Volkswagen’s Polo-based hatch in 2010 and some months later by a Polo-based saloon.
