For the year ended on March 31, 2010, Panasonic India had a turnover of 4,500 crores
(45 billion) including the sales generated. The Indian arm's sale was nearly 2-3
percent of Panasonic's total overseas sales. Out of the Japanese firm's overall
turnover, overseas sales accounts to 50 percent and the rest comes from the domestic
sales.
The company is aiming to increase turnover from the country and expects to contribute
about 5 percent of Panasonic's total overseas sales by 2012. The company, which
reported 200 percent growth in the past three years in India, is looking to continue
with the trend for the next two more years. Panasonic India
CEO Mr. Daizo Ito says that India is the most important market for growth
of Panasonic.
