Mumbai: German carmaker Volkswagen on Thursday said it has no plans to discontinue the sale of its current generation super luxury sedan Passat in the Indian market.

The company is working on the next generation model of Passat, which will be rolled out in the Indian market at a suitable time, it said.

"We, at Volkswagen, continue to sell the current generation of the Passat through our dealer network," Volkswagen India said in a statement here.

The statement comes following reports in a section of the media that the German luxury carmaker
had stopped selling Passat in the Indian market on account of low sale.
