The newly constructed Audi hall at the group plant of Skoda Auto India, which covers a floor area of 20,000 square metres, will also see the production of the Q3, slated to begin from mid 2013.
"Local production of the Q7 means Audi India is now building a second Q model locally. That will reduce waiting times for our customers & we will be able to offer a wider range of versions in the market," explained Michael Perschke, head of Audi India. This move comes as part of Audi’s long term growth strategy for the Indian market which it feels is one of the most promising auto markets in the world.
Increasing demand from Indian customers for the Audi Q3, Q5 & Q7 SUV models has had a major impact on the brand's growth in India. Over the first 10 months of this year, the carmaker has increased its sales in the Indian market by 55 percent to 7,273 units, having already surpassed its record sales total of 5,511 cars for 2011.
At dealer level, too, Audi is steadily building up its nationwide presence in India. There will be 25 dealerships throughout the country by the end of this year. New showrooms have opened in Kanpur, Goa, Navi Mumbai, Coimbatore, Delhi West, Nagpur & Bhopal over the past few months.
