There is a good news for Audi as for as AudiQ5 lovers. In India, German luxury car manufacturer Audi AG had hit all it’s record by selling 1,168 cars from the beginning of this year till August-end, compared to 1,050 units last year and company is expecting to sell 1700-1800 cars in 2009. Because of unexpected selling, company has decided to assemble SUV Q5 in it’s Aurangabad plant from next March. Audi currently assembles its luxury sedans A4 and A6 at the Aurangabad plant.
Audi India Managing Director Benoit Tiers said on Thursday “We will start local assembling of our SUV Q5 at the Aurangabad plant. This year we are expecting to sell 200 units, while it should go up to 500 units from next year.”
“The Indian subsidiary of Audi would start a new line of production for the SUV with an initial capacity of 500 units per year,” Tiers said.
“India is the second country after Germany where the Q5 will be assembled,” he added.
The cost of the car will reduce just because of duty cut. Presently, in India import duty is 116 per cent. If the car will assemble in India the company will have to pay only 60 per cent duty.
Audi plans to invest about €30 million in the country till 2015.
