Malaysian automaker Proton will be entering the Indian auto market

Malaysian automaker, Proton, is considering entering the Indian auto market to expand its overseas operations. The company, PeRusahaan OTOmobil Nasional or Proton Motors Ltd, intends to make a foray in the Indian market with its super mini car Savvy.  India is one of the few countries in the world where year-on-year car sales are increasing in spite of the global recession. Its other models Saga and Persona are also slated for subsequent launches in the country.

Proton is Malaysia’s largest car company and is presently selling its cars in China, Iran, Pakistan, UK and Australia. Its models are versatile and reliable four-door family vehicles, two-door hatchbacks for the young-at-heart, luxurious and stylish executive sedans, as well as the world-renowned sports cars from Lotus.
