Europe's largest car maker Volkswagen is planning to more than double its India headcount with addition of 1,500 employees at its Chakan plant alone in Maharashtra.

The group, which started production at Chakan near Pune in March 2008, is looking at full-capacity production at this plant by 2012 and would need to increase its staff strength for the same, its India head said.

Volkswagen has two facilities in India at Aurangabad and Chakan, which assembles cars of its three brands -- Skoda, Audi and Volkswagen. “We opened our Chakan facility this year and it is producing Skoda Fabia now, but in small numbers. When we will lau nch the small car Polo next year, the numbers will increase,'' Volkswagen Group India President and Managing Director Joerg Mueller told PTI.
