We expect this to grow to 15,000 units in 2015."
Meanwhile, the company is eying to roll-out its much awaited hatchback A1, sports utility vehicle Q3 and concept sedan A3 in the Indian market in coming years. "We are currently looking at the possibility of launching A1, A3 and Q3 in India. In the next 12-15 months, we will be taking a decision on that. The A1 and Q3 can build brand as well volume.”
