What SKODA INDIA does

Škoda Auto India operates the Indian division of Škoda Auto Volkswagen India Private Limited (SAVWIPL), a privately held subsidiary of the Volkswagen Group headquartered in Mumbai with manufacturing at Pune (Chakan) and Chhatrapati Sambhapati Nagar and an R&D centre in Pune (Baner). The company sells premium European-engineered passenger vehicles across the sub-4 metre, mid-size SUV, sedan, and premium SUV segments, with current models including the Kylaq (sub-4m SUV, MQB-A0-IN platform), Kushaq and its 2026 facelift (mid-size SUV), Slavia (sedan), Kodiaq and Kodiaq RS (premium SUVs on the MQB37 platform), and limited-CBU imports such as the Octavia RS. Vehicles are built on shared VW Group platforms and feature Level 2 ADAS on higher trims, an 8-speed torque converter automatic on the new Kushaq, and Google Gemini integration in the Kushaq facelift infotainment.

The business is a B2C automotive OEM with a multi-channel go-to-market: an authorized dealership network of 330+ touchpoints across 183 cities, online reservations through buyskodaonline.co.in, a government-backed CSC Grameen eStore partnership for tier-2/3 reach, an Express Care service format, and a certified pre-owned multi-brand platform under the Super Care service umbrella. Pricing spans Rs 7.59 lakh for the Kylaq entry variant up to ~Rs 60 lakh for the limited Kodiaq RS, with localization under the India 2.0 strategy enabling competitive price points alongside 5-star Bharat NCAP safety credentials.

The unit-economy backdrop is strong: 2025 CY sales of 72,665 units grew 107% YoY and FY26 added another 68.4% growth to 75,555 units, lifting the brand from 11th to 7th in domestic passenger vehicle rankings. India has become Škoda's fourth-largest global market, with a Pune R&D hub employing 450 engineers and India serving as a VW Group export base (715,000+ cumulative units exported). Revenue streams include new vehicle hardware sales, after-sales service and parts, and used-vehicle transactions, with disclosed revenue figures not available in the source data.
