Beagan met with the region’s Governor Valery Serdyukov earlier in the day.
The company had managed to receive the Russian government’s approval to increase the company’s production quota from 25,000 to 30,000 cars, Beagan said.
The company has increased its output after a third working shift was introduced at the plant in April.
According to the region’s Deputy Governor Grigory Dvas, eventually the company’s annual car output is expected to increase to 50,000 cars and that even this figure “was not final.”
