It is a matter of pride for us and it also mirrors the positive customer feedback for the cars produced in our Pune Plant. More than this, each one of the 5,00,000 cars produced is also an ambassador of the high capabilities of our workforce. I would like to congratulate the entire team of Volkswagen India on this historic achievement."
