Volkswagen Group hopes to sell 20000 units by the end of this year which would mark a 69 percent growth in its sales figures as compared to its last year’s figures. The robust sale of its current models has made VW to pre-pone its plans to roll out more models from its Chakan plant, near Pune in India.
Every car manufacturer in India has adjusted its production schedule according to the ongoing economic crisis. Nearly everyone is facing piling up of inventory at the factiories as well as at the dealer locations. On the other hand, VW has witnessed robust sales of its models like VW Jetta and Skoda Fabia. It also plans to launch its compact car and a sedan based on Polo platform in India. Volkswagen India Private Limited currently has 14 dealerships in India which it plans to hike up to 150 by 2011.
Volkswagen AG hopes to sell more cars in India and strengthen its position in the domestic market as well. Its Greenfield plant in Pune will roll out more passenger cars ahead of its schedule if the demand is constantly supported in the market. As every auto manufacturer in India crosses his finger to sail through the economic tsunami, VW sees a little bright light already.
