Talking about the how important the Lamborghini Urus is for the Indian market, Sharad Agarwal, Head of Lamborghini India said, "It (Urus) is going to be a game changer. Globally we say that with Urus, we are going to double our volumes. But, in India, given the preference for SUVs and the challenges we had in terms of infrastructure, Urus should help us multiply over 2X, maybe even 3X and we are anticipating that as a brand we should be able to hit the 3 digit figure depending also on the supply from the factory by 2019."

Lamborghini India is also working on expanding its sales network in the country, which is now limited to three cities - Delhi, Mumbai and Bengaluru. Commenting on network expansion, Agarwal said, "As we multiply and grow with Urus, we will definitely want to get more closer to the customer and we will definitely add more network to reach to our customers." He further added, "We already have plans underway and maybe within next 12 to 18 months you will see us expanding to at least to two more cities in India."
