Audi weighing local production of electric vehicles in India

German luxury carmaker Audi is evaluating the feasibility of producing electric vehicles locally in India while it seeks to reach threshold volumes for such a step to be successful, according to a senior company official.

With the company deciding to go all-electric globally from 2033, it is a matter of time for local production of its electric cars, which has so far received a robust response in India.

“It’s a continuous evaluation at this point in time…We are evaluating the acceptability of electric mobility in India,” Audi India Head Balbir Singh Dhillon told PTI when asked about the company’s plans with rival Mercedes-Benz announcing to locally assemble all-electric EQS sedan in India from this year.
