Indian market is an “exception”, growing steadily when demand for premium vehicles slowing down in developed countries: Jean-Philippe Parain, Senior Vice President, BMW Group

The Indian market stood out for BMW as it continued to grow steadily, unlike several developed countries where premium vehicle demand has slowed. Senior BMW executives, including Jean-Philippe Parain, visited India to assess business operations. BMW Group India reported record half-yearly sales of 7,098 cars and 3,614 motorcycles in the first half of 2024. Globally, BMW's car sales increased by approximately 2% to 1,096,486 units during the same period. With India emerging as a significant sourcing hub, BMW is working to integrate Indian parts into its global supply chain.
