Škoda Auto India has marked 2025 as a significant milestone in its 25-year journey in the country. The company achieved its highest-ever annual sales, with 72,665 cars sold, representing a 107% year-on-year growth compared to 2024. This substantial increase can be attributed to a strong product lineup, including the successful launch of the Kylaq, sustained demand for the Kodiaq, Kushaq, and Slavia, and a positive response to the return of the Octavia RS.
The brand expanded its presence in India, growing its network to over 325 customer touchpoints across 183 cities. This expansion has enabled Škoda to reach a wider audience and provide better services to its customers. During 2025, the company also crossed the milestone of selling over 200,000 locally produced cars since 2021, demonstrating its commitment to the Indian market.
India became the first large global market for Škoda to complete a 100% rollout of its updated corporate identity across its network. The company’s workforce also expanded, with over 7,500 professionals working in sales and aftersales across dealerships. These employees received extensive training, with more than 25,000 training days recorded during the year.
Škoda Auto India also showcased its engineering capabilities through various experiential initiatives. The “Fans of Škoda Leh expedition” earned recognition from the India and Asia Book of Records for the largest convoy to reach Umling La. Additionally, the Kodiaq became the first petrol-powered SUV to reach the North Face base camp of Mount Everest, demonstrating the company’s ability to push boundaries and achieve exceptional feats.
Overall, 2025 was a remarkable year for Škoda Auto India, with the company achieving significant milestones and reinforcing its position in the Indian market. With its strong product lineup, expanded network, and commitment to engineering excellence, Škoda is well-positioned for continued growth and success in the country.
