Volkswagen plans to launch the Beetle in India by October and the Polo hatchback by early next year. The company is planning to invest Rs.3600 Crore in its Pune plant in India.

“We will launch the Beetle by the end of October. We have no plans to alter our decision to invest Rs 3,600 Crore in India,” Volkswagen India-Project Head Ludwig Geerken told PTI.

He added, “We will start making the Polo in our Pune plant… by January and launch it by March next year. Production will start a little earlier so that we can keep enough inventories with our dealers.”

Without giving details on the pricing for the Polo, Geerken said, “It will be competitively priced with other cars in that category”.

Volkswagen Beetle will be brought as completely built unit (CBU) in India and the Polo will be made locally.

The auto maker at present has a manufacturing facility in Pune from where group company Skoda makes its premium hatchback Fabia.
