Rolls-Royce has not been able to meet the demand for new vehicles in India, according to a statement from the brand’s officials. Rolls Royce is currently studying the possibility of expanding its Indian operations. In an interview with the Economic Times, Torsten Muller Otvos, Global chief executive of Rolls Royce Motor Cars, said that by the end of 2010, Rolls Royce had more orders than it could supply. Jolyon Nash, Director Sales and Marketing, said that the company may be expanding to Bangalore and Hyderabad.
Rolls Royce has been expecting that this market will grow bigger since 2009. It’s also likely that India will be one of the carmaker’s top markets in a 10-year timeframe, implying that more investments will be made in the local production facilities.
Back in 2009, Tom Purves, the chief executive of the company, predicted that India will be the single most important market for Rolls Royce in the next 5-10 years. He said that as part of the BMW group network, the company has access to “all the purchasing power the group has and engineering opportunity that exists.”
