Dhillon clarified that the company would manufacture all the existing models fitted with petrol engines and would retail till 2032 for its transition to electric vehicles.
Responding to a query about incidents of battery-operated vehicles going up in flames, he said all the components for the battery were brought individually and assembled at the factories by trained professionals with the utmost regard for ‘safety’ and ‘quality’.
After inaugurating the company’s pre-used car showroom Audi Approved Plus here, he said it was the 17th outlet of the 22 planned to be inaugurated this year.
