British sports auto manufacturer Aston Martin has high expectations from its operations in the Indian auto market. The company is planning to strengthen its presence in various markets across the globe and expects India to be a significant contributor to its growth.
The company’s global sales have been declining registering about 4,200 units sold globally in 2011. Mr. Andy Gawthorpe Global Sales Director Aston Martin added that the global auto market has not recovered from the slowdown in 2011.
Commenting on the company’s operations in India, Mr. Gawthorpe stated that the company has long term plans for the country. The company entered the Indian car market in 2011 and has opened dealerships at Mumbai and New Delhi selling sports cars in the price range of Rs 1.8 crore to Rs 4 crore.
