Toyota Motor Corp. is bringing its premium Lexus brand to India more than two decades after introducing the marque in China, an acknowledgment of the second-most populous country's growing potential as a source of luxury demand.

Lexus will offer two SUVs and a sedan as the first models to be sold at showrooms in New Delhi, Gurgaon, Mumbai and Bengaluru, according to a company statement.

"We see opportunities mapped to the remarkable growth the country is experiencing," Akitoshi Takemura, Lexus India senior vice president, said in the statement. "This is just beginning. We look forward to bringing more exciting products to India in the future."
