Overview

Volkswagen AG is significantly cutting its electric vehicle development costs in India by 33%, aiming for $700 million from $1 billion. The automaker is actively seeking an Indian partner to share costs and risks, hoping to improve its minimal 2% market share after two decades of investment. This strategic move aims to align with India's upcoming stricter emission norms and global investment caution.
