Škoda Auto Volkswagen India Private Limited (SAVWIPL) has reached a production milestone with the completion of its 500,000th Škoda vehicle in India. The company’s local production spans two facilities: Pune and Chhatrapati Sambhaji Nagar (formerly Aurangabad), with approximately 70 percent of these vehicles assembled at the Pune plant.
The manufacturing portfolio includes models such as the Octavia, Laura, Superb, Kodiaq, Kushaq, Slavia, and the first sub-4-meter Kylaq. Škoda vehicles produced in India are supplied to both domestic and export markets. As part of its international operations, the company exports parts and components from India to support assembly at its newly opened facility in Vietnam, where models like the Kushaq and Slavia are being produced from completely knocked down (CKD) kits.
In a statement, Andreas Dick, Board Member for Production and Logistics at Škoda Auto a.s., said the milestone reflects the company’s strategic commitment to India and its efforts in aligning local operations with global standards.
Piyush Arora, CEO and Managing Director of SAVWIPL, highlighted the milestone’s significance in terms of customer relationships and employee contributions, stating that each vehicle embodies European engineering, quality, and safety.
In March 2025, the company crossed the milestone of producing 500,000 engines at its Chakan facility.
SAVWIPL, a wholly owned subsidiary of the Volkswagen Group, oversees the operations of Škoda, Volkswagen, Audi, Porsche, and Lamborghini in India. Its responsibilities include local manufacturing, parts sourcing, and export activities.
