Volkswagen Group is rebooting its India operations as it seeks to make inroads into a market that is expected to be the third-largest in the world by 2020.
 
As part of the India 2.0 project, the Wolfsburg-based company has given Skoda the job of strengthening the group’s position in the Indian market, the company said in a statement on Friday.
 
This is in continuance with a project that started a year and half ago. As part of that, Skoda was asked to develop a sustainable model for the Skoda and Volkswagen brands in the volume segment in India.
