It can be gauged by the number of car makers foraying into the market. A lot of new models were launched last year and more brands are heading this year too.

On the other hand, the 301 notchback sedan (a global model of Peugeot) could also be launched in India.

The company even had plans to build a manufacturing facility at Sanand, which could not be materialised.

Slow demand for Peugeot cars in the European market could probably be the reason behind this.

Europe is a major market for the car maker and bad market conditions there caused a heavy dent to the company's sales; this could be preventing the auto maker from making heavy investments in Sanand.
