Starting in July, Audi will sell its Audi TT 1.8T and the Audi allroad 2.5 TDI at two dealerships in Delhi and Mumbai. In the autumn, the new Audi A6 saloon will also be offered. "A sporty premium brand like Audi cannot be absent from a growth market like India ," sales and marketing chief Ralph Weyler said in a statement. In the last five years, the luxury passenger car market has tripled in India , the carmaker added.
