Premium carmaker Audi will drive its all-electric SUV e-tron into India by the end of the year. This will be first in a 12-vehicle line-up of global electric vehicles.
Rahil Ansari, Audi India head, said the first batch to be imported will include an order of 200 CBU (completely built-up) vehicles. These will be largely distributed across dealerships in Mumbai, New Delhi, Bengaluru, Chennai, Hyderabad and others major cities. 
He added that a cut in the goods and services tax from 28 per cent to 12 per cent for e-cars was a good initiative, but Ansari was hopeful that the Budget in July will cut the levy further to 5 per cent.
