BMW which is the world’s biggest premium car manufacturer is rethinking with regard to its plan to launch its Mini hatchback in India by the end of this year. The launch of this car is already being delayed from 2007.
The Mini will be imported and would be priced around 2 million rupees ($41,000). This was stated by the president of BMW’s India unit, Peter Kronschnabl, to the reporters at the home launching of the BMW X6.

Peter Kronschnabl also added that “Last year we decided to postpone the launch of Mini in India by a year, as we had doubts regarding the viability of the project. We would again take a look at it by the end of the third quarter of the calendar year. ”

The company of late brought up the yearly capacity at its Indian plant to 3,000 units from 1,700 on a solitary shift basis at a cost of $750,000.
