Porsche upbeat on indian growth amid sustainability focus

German luxury car manufacturer Porsche is optimistic about its growth prospects in the Indian market due to the country's robust momentum and commitment to sustainable technologies and infrastructure development. Detlev von Platen, Porsche AG's Executive Board member for sales and marketing, expressed enthusiasm during his inaugural visit to India, highlighting the nation's rapid economic expansion, evolving education landscape, and welcoming attitude towards investments. While not currently planning local assembly, Porsche aims to solidify its brand presence in India through value-oriented growth strategies, establishing unique customer destinations, and focusing on credibility.

Having witnessed a 64% volume increase to 779 units in the previous year, Porsche boasts eight dealer partners in India, with plans to expand to 10 by year-end. Platen views India not merely as an emerging market but as a leader in software and IT development, underscoring Porsche's long-term commitment to the country. Porsche's electric vehicle (EV) Taycan garnered over 10% of Indian sales last year, demonstrating a favorable reception of EV technology. The company's global electrification goal involves 50% of its portfolio being electric by 2025 and around 80% by 2030. India will witness the launch of the all-electric Macan in 2024, followed by the two-door sports car 718 and a new electric Cayenne.

However, the pace of electric mobility's adoption in India hinges on infrastructure advancements in charging systems. Porsche's bullish stance on growth aligns with the brand's appeal to a diverse customer base, including the emerging Gen Z demographic. The average age of Indian Porsche buyers is already ten years lower than in Europe, indicating a promising future for the luxury automaker in the Indian market.
