Pune, Nov 21:-Škoda Auto Volkswagen India Private Limited (SAVWIPL) has crossed the 2 million production milestone, marking a landmark achievement in its 25-year journey in India. This milestone comes amid the Group’s strongest commercial momentum to date, with October 2025 emerging as its most successful month since inception, reaffirming India’s strategic role in the global network.
The milestone includes over 500,000 vehicles built on the MQB-A0-IN platform, designed and developed locally by Indian engineering teams. This platform underpins models such as the Škoda Kushaq, Slavia, Kodiaq, and the Volkswagen Taigun and Virtus, which have driven recent growth. Remarkably, the last 500,000 units were produced in just 3.5 years, reflecting robust demand for India-built, globally benchmarked products.
SAVWIPL’s brands continue to post strong commercial performance. Škoda Auto India recorded its highest-ever 10-month performance, reaching 61,607 units in 2025, more than doubling year-on-year. Volkswagen India celebrated Diwali with its highest-ever monthly sales for the Virtus, which now commands over 40% share in the premium sedan segment within 40 months.
Premium and luxury brands have also strengthened the Group’s market presence. Bentley India opened all-new showrooms in Mumbai and Bengaluru, consolidating sales, marketing, and aftersales operations. Porsche India added over 4,400 customers in the past six years, expanding to 13 points of sale nationwide. Audi India achieved multiple milestones: the RS Q8 won Performance Car of the Year at the 2025 AutoX Awards, Audi Approved: plus posted 5% growth from January to September 2025, and the brand advanced India’s EV ecosystem with 6,500+ charging points installed under Phase II of the Charge My Audi initiative.
SAVWIPL’s super-luxury marque Lamborghini delivered its best-ever annual performance in 2024, with 113 cars sold, a 10% increase over 2023. The launch of the Temerario in India, following the Revuelto and Urus SE, completes Lamborghini’s hybrid transition under its Direzione Cor Tauri strategy.
Piyush Arora, CEO & MD of Škoda Auto Volkswagen India, said;
“Every milestone we achieve in India reflects our belief in the country’s potential — not just as a market but as a global mobility hub. The 2-million mark is the result of sustained investment in people, technology, and local capability. It also reflects the exceptional trust Indian customers place in our six brands. Indian buyers are among the most informed and discerning globally, and their confidence drives us to deliver products with world-class quality, precision, and trust.”
Exports continue to be a strong pillar of the Group’s operations, with over 700,000 vehicles shipped from India to markets across Latin America, Africa, Southeast Asia, and the Middle East, reinforcing India as an emerging export hub under the “Made in India, Driven by the World” vision.
The Group operates two state-of-the-art facilities in Pune and Chhatrapati Sambhaji Nagar, with a €600 million investment in the Pune plant to support higher volumes and deeper localization. These facilities anchor SAVWIPL’s India operations, enabling agility for its multi-brand, multi-market strategy.
With strong local engineering capabilities and global technology, the Group is positioning India as a hub for both domestic and global markets. The 2-million production milestone reflects not only manufacturing success but also India’s growing role in shaping the Group’s future mobility roadmap.
To strengthen its competitive edge, SAVWIPL continues to focus on cost optimization, market performance, and accelerated localization, ensuring the Group remains agile and well-positioned for long-term growth in India.
