Mumbai : Škoda Auto India has closed 2025 as the most successful year in its India operations, coinciding with its 25th anniversary in the country. The automaker sold 72,665 vehicles during the year, registering a 107% year-on-year growth over 2024, making it the brand’s highest annual sales performance in India to date.
The strong growth was driven by a well-defined product and network strategy. The Kylaq emerged as a key volume contributor, while the Kodiaq, Kushaq and Slavia continued to witness steady demand. The return of the Octavia RS received a strong market response, reinforcing the brand’s performance-led positioning.
Commenting on the milestone, Ashish Gupta, Brand Director, Škoda Auto India, said the company’s expanded product portfolio, growing dealer network and consistent customer trust were central to achieving its best-ever performance in India.
During the year, Škoda Auto India expanded its footprint to over 325 customer touchpoints across 183 cities, strengthening both sales reach and aftersales accessibility. The company also crossed the milestone of 200,000 locally produced vehicles sold since 2021, underscoring the progress of its India 2.0 strategy.
Beyond volumes, 2025 saw the brand focus on differentiation and customer engagement. India became the first large Škoda market globally to complete a 100% rebranding of its dealership network, delivering a unified corporate identity nationwide. Customer communication was further strengthened with the onboarding of Ranveer Singh as the brand’s first-ever Brand Superstar and the launch of the ‘Fans, Not Owners’ campaign. Škoda Auto India also invested in strengthening customer trust by expanding its dealer workforce to over 7,500 professionals, introducing enhanced warranty and ownership benefits, and undertaking brand-led capability demonstrations such as the Fans of Škoda Leh expedition and the Kodiaq’s expedition to the North Face base camp of Mount Everest.
As it enters 2026, Škoda Auto India plans to build on the momentum of its silver jubilee year through new product introductions, expanded sales and aftersales initiatives, and deeper penetration across key Indian markets.
