Bentley opens showroom in Hyd, upbeat on sales in India

Bentley Motors today launched a showroom and service centre here, the luxury car brand's third in India after Mumbai and Delhi, and said it's upbeat about its growth prospects in this country.
The facility was opened through its exclusive dealer for India, Exclusive Motors Pvt Ltd.
The company is seeing strong sales growth in India, Bentley's Regional Manager - Middle East, India and Africa, Neil Wilford told PTI.
"We are (upbeat on our sales growth in India), we have to be upbeat; there is no reason not to be," he said.
On impact of GST on the company's sales, he said "tax generally impacts anyway".

"As far as demonetisation (is concerned), it impacted everybody. I don't think it impacted us any more than anybody else. It impacted the whole country in many ways," Wilford said.
Sources in the British brand said Bentley's sales in India has been growing 15 per cent year-on-year.
"Bentley's sales (of cars) have been in high double digits per annum. We should reach somewhere close to the three digit mark (100) per annum, hopefully by the end of next year", the sources said.
