The Rs 240-crore powertrain plant at its Chakan facility near here is
spread over 3,500 sqmt and can produce 98,000 engines per annum in three
shifts, all Bharat Stage III compliant.
The company will use the new power trains from the new facility for the models Polo, Vento and Rapid. The plant was inaugurated by the Maharashtra Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis on Tuesday.
Fadnavis asked the company to make Maharashtra its global export hub and assured that his government will further reduce the existing 25 levels of approval needed to start a business.
The labour laws in the state were "anti-labour and anti-industry and only time killing", the Chief Minister said, adding that they would be revamped soon.
While the five Volkswagen group companies — VW, Audi, Skoda, Porche and Lamborghini -- together sell 25 models in the country, Audi being the largest in terms of volume and offerings and the market leader in the luxe car space, VW has been trailing with only three models — Vento and Jetta sedans and the Polo hatchback.
