Audi Plans Expansion as Mercedes-Benz Maintains Luxury Market Leadership in India
Audi India plans a comeback in the luxury car market by launching new models, expanding its showroom network, and re-entering the electric vehicle segment, aiming to double its market share to 16% within five years. Meanwhile, Mercedes-Benz India, maintaining its leadership in the luxury segment, reported its best first-half sales in 2026 but declined overall sales in 2025. Mercedes-Benz emphasizes brand value over volume growth, focusing on market demand and product desirability rather than chasing sales targets.
