Registering a growth in production over the last year, Volkswagen India's Pune Plant has now recorded its highest ever annual production since 2009. The Volkswagen Pune Plant produced 150,150 cars in the year 2017. The plant has now witnessed a growth in production for the sixth year in running. The contribution towards the increased volumes comes from a combination of higher demand from the domestic as well as export markets where the cars ‘Made in India' have been a success.

The plant manufactures a range of vehicles including Volkswagen Polo, Ameo, Vento and ŠKODA Rapid. In addition to the cars, 1.5-litre and 2.0-litre diesel engines are also being assembled at the facility.
