It is aiming to launch Golf/Jetta platform in India and is looking for both Greenfield options and sourcing opportunities from host of vendors and suppliers. It plans the launch of new Passat in the country which may be followed by Golf and its variants. However, looking at the current heavy import duty structure in India on CBUs it seems unlikely that Golf may be launched too soon.
