Volkswagen charts out big India plans

Europe’s biggest carmaker Volkswagen is intensifying efforts to rapidly expand in India, including increasing the number of models and dealerships, as the group eyes an overall market share of 10% in the next five to six years. VW Group, which own seven car brands, currently sells Audi, Skoda and the Volkswagen brands in India. As part of the plan, the group is intensifying efforts to synergise operations between the different group companies: add more dealerships and introduce new models in India.
The VW brand is currently developing two cars based on the compact car ‘Polo’ platform, which could be rolled out from their Chakan facility by 2010. One will be a hatchback and the other will be a small sedan.In July the company would launch its sedan Jetta to add to the already existing Passat in India
