The company’s Indian market share has nearly tripled in the last two years. From under 1 per cent in 2009 the market share is now at around 3 per cent.
“We plan to roll out eight new cars in India, by the middle of this decade. Most of these would be in the Figo range since small market is the growth area in India. Seventy per cent of car sales in India come from the small car segment and this number is only slated to grow,” he added.
