Dr. Andreas Lauermann, President and Managing Director, Volkswagen India Private Limited said, "This is the fourth year in a row that the Volkswagen Pune Plant has recorded a growth in its production volume. Despite a challenging year, there was a surge in demand for our cars this year."

He further added, "The main contributor for the increased production was the high demand from our Indian customers who have appreciated the made-for-India and made-in-India Ameo. Along with that, the Vento whose success in India and around the world, has been noteworthy contributor too."

Volkswagen Pune Plant has so far attracted an investment of over € 825 million (₨5720 crore). The plant has achieved a localisation level of approximately 82% (without engines and transmissions).
