Even though the entire auto sector is plagued by supply chain challenges, we are expanding at a pace of 19% or more, which is greater than the industry average growth rate "Hardeep Singh Brar, Kia India's VP and Head of Sales and Marketing, noted.
Kia India announced on June 2 that its completely electric vehicle, the EV6, will be launched in the nation as part of the company's commitment to offering sustainable transportation options.
