The 50,000th car rolled out of the plant was a Volkswagen Vento. The Pune plant is one of the most modern in the Volkswagen Group which globally has 61 plants. With a total financial commitment amounting to Rs. 3,800 crores the Volkswagen plant in Pune is the largest investment to date by a German company in India.
“It is a moment of great pride and satisfaction for all of us at Volkswagen on achieving this milestone in such a short span of time. Volkswagen has focused on introducing new products based on understanding of customer needs. The outstanding acceptance of all our products is a testimony to the success of that approach. The continuous support from our employees has made this possible today. I would like to thank the team at Chakan for their undying spirit and motivation and congratulate them for demonstrating how much can be achieved in a very short period of time,” Dr. John Chacko said.
