Volkswagen Group Plans Product Expansion and Local Growth Strategy in India
The Volkswagen Group, including brands like Škoda, Volkswagen, Audi, Porsche, Bentley, and Lamborghini, views India as a strategic growth market. The group plans to enhance product offerings, increase localisation, and expand engineering capabilities in India. Škoda aims for profitable growth, considering CNG and limited diesel options while preparing to launch a locally produced electric SUV. Despite global restructuring, the group expects no immediate impact on Indian operations and targets a 4-5% passenger vehicle market share in the medium term.
