JSW and Volkswagen Sign MoU for 51:49 Joint Venture in India
JSW Group and Volkswagen Group have signed a non-binding memorandum of understanding to form a 51:49 joint venture for Volkswagen's passenger vehicle operations in India. The partnership aims to enhance competitiveness through expanded product offerings, deeper localisation, and improved manufacturing and R&D capabilities. The new entity will operate separately from JSW's existing ventures, with exclusive negotiations ongoing and a target to finalize the binding agreement by the end of 2026. This marks a key step in Volkswagen's search for a local partner in India.
