Volkswagen To Export India-made Polo To the Mexican Market

Volkswagen India has now expanded its export activities further. The new Polo, which is being manufactured at the Volkswagen Pune Plant, is the second model, after Vento that is being exported to Mexico from India.

The Polo 1.6 Highline becomes the second Volkswagen car made in India to be sold in the North American country. The export versions of the Vento and the new Polo together account for nearly every second car produced at the Pune Plant.

For Volkswagen India, the first export market was South Africa about three years ago and since then the operations have been expanded to over 32 countries across Asia, Africa and North America. The Volkswagen Pune Plant has produced over 89,000 cars for export till date.

Mahesh Kodumudi, President and Managing Director, Volkswagen Pune Plant and Chief Representative, Volkswagen Group India commented, "With successful entry in Mexico last year with our Vento, we set an example of world class quality being manufactured in India. With further expansion into the Polo segment, we have reiterated the fact that we are able to manufacture top products through our Indian operations."
