NEW DELHI: Luxury car sales in India could cross the milestone of 50,000 units for the first time in a year in 2024 amid growing demand for such models, according to Audi India head Balbir Singh Dhillon.
The overall domestic luxury car segment grew by 28 per cent annually last year to record sales volume of around 48,500 units.
Luxury car volumes in India currently account for less than 2 per cent of the overall passenger vehicle sales annually and the sector has been more or less at the same level for the past decade.
“Even if the sales grow by around 10 per cent and we do not face issues like disruptions like issues with global supply chain, we (industry) could cross the 50,000 volume mark in a year for the first time ever in 2024,” Dhillon said.
Audi reported an 89 per cent growth in retail sales in India at 7,931 units last year as compared to a total of 4,187 units in 2022.
Similarly, Mercedes-Benz India recorded its best-ever year in its history in India with sales of 17,408 units, registering a growth of 10 per cent over 15,822 units in 2022.
