Japanese auto giant Toyota has just crossed the two million (20 lakh) sales milestone in India. The company achieved this milestone 23 years after it first started production here.
Toyota began its India operations in October 1997, in partnership with Kirloskar Systems Limited, by setting up a manufacturing facility in Bidadi, near Bengaluru. Production started in December 1999, with the Qualis MPV being the first model.
The two millionth car sold was a Glanza. Atul Sood, associate vice president, Sales and Strategic Marketing, Toyota India said, “Toyota has developed a solid foundation of renowned quality, durability and reliability and we hope to cater to more segments as well as newer markets in 2022 and beyond.”
