New Delhi. Luxury vehicle manufacturing company Audi India is considering starting assembling of electric vehicles (EV) locally. If this happens, the company will be able to provide vehicles at lower prices in India and this will help in increasing the customer base. Audi currently imports the entire range of EVs into the country. These include Q8 50 e-tron, Q8 55 e-tron, Q8 Sportback 50 e-tron, Q8 Sportback 55 e-tron, e-tron GT and RS e-tron GT etc.
However, the company assembles petrol models like Q3, Q3 Sportback, Q5, Q7, A4 and A6 at its manufacturing plant in Aurangabad, Maharashtra.
