German automobile maker Audi India said its sales almost doubled in the first half of calendar 2023 riding on higher demand for premium cars. Audi Approved: plus, the company's pre-owned car business, also grew at 53 per cent year on year for the same period.

The company reported delivering 3,474 new cars in the January to June period, marking a surge from the 1,765 units sold during the same period in the previous year.
