New Delhi: Luxury
automobile manufacturer Rolls-Royce will have showrooms in three
more Indian cities by the first quarter of 2013 to reach out to

"The market trend is very positive and we are optimistic of this
trend continuing. We have plans to open new centres at three more

The company is currently present in four cities - New Delhi,
Mumbai, Chandigarh and Hyderabad.

year-end. Within the next one-two year we expect to be in
six-seven cities. This will provide us an opportunity for doing

luxury car also comes with a new eight-speed automatic gearbox and
rear differential.
