The company regional director for Asia Pacific Mr Colin Kellysaid  ”We expect to sell 75 cars in 2010 in India, of which Ghost will comprise 50-60 units”.

Rolls Royce sold 1,212 cars last year and should sell this year around 1,000 cars. Led by India and China, the Asian market is the fastest growing market for Rolls Royce.
“We are looking at India’s long term potential,” Mr Kelly said.
