Audi Starts A6 Production In India

Audi has begun production of its luxury midsize sedan, the A6 in India at its Aurangabad site in the state of Maharashtra. In 2008, more than 300 A6 sedans all of which are intened for the Indian market, will be assembled in single-shift operation. By 2015 however, 2,000 units of the A6 should be rolling off the line as Audi plans to invest more than 30 million euros in production alone in India. Additionaly, starting in late 2008, the new Audi A4 will also be assembled in India.

“Starting our own production there is the best way to adequately serve such a promising growth market like India,” said Rupert Stadler, Chairman of the Board of Management of AUDI AG. “India is one of the components of our Strategy 2015, which aims to achieve sales of 1.5 million automobiles per year worldwide. We want to be the most successful premium brand in India as well.”
