Skoda Auto Volkswagen India: Skoda Auto Volkswagen India Private Limited (SAVWIPL), which oversees the Indian operations of Bentley, Audi, Porsche, Lamborghini, Skoda, and Volkswagen, has crossed the landmark 20 lakh (2 million) unit production mark from across its two manufacturing plants – one in Pune and the other in Chhatrapati Sambhaji Nagar/Aurangabad. This marks a major milestone for the Czech automaker’s 25 years of operations in India and comes after the auto industry posted its strongest momentum in October 2025.
Skoda Auto drove past the 15 lakh (1.5 million) unit production milestone in March 2022, while the most recent 5 lakh vehicles were produced over the last three and a half years. And more than 5 lakh units based on the company's made-in-India MQB-A0-IN platform have been manufactured so far. These are the Skoda Kushaq, Kylaq, and the Slavia, as well as the Volkswagen Taigun and the Virtus. SAVWIPL attributed the success to the growing customer trust and investment in localisation.
