Skoda Auto Volkswagen India Private Limited (SAVWIPL) has crossed 2 million vehicles produced locally, marking a significant milestone in its 25-year-long manufacturing journey on our shores. The achievement comes at a time when the company describes it as its strongest business phase ever, with October 2025 emerging as its most successful month since the group’s inception.
The 2 million figure includes over 5,00,000 vehicles built on the MQB-A0-IN platform, engineered on Indian soil by local development teams. This platform underpins the Skoda Kushaq, Slavia, Kiliq, as well as the Volkswagen Taigun and Virtus. Skoda claims that the last 5 lakh units were produced in just 3.5 years, highlighting the growing demand for globally benchmarked products made in India.
Both Skoda and Volkswagen reported strong commercial momentum. The Czech carmaker recorded its highest-ever 10-month performance, doubling year-on-year to reach 61,607 units in 2025. Volkswagen India recorded record monthly sales for the Virtus during the Diwali period. After spending 40 months in the premium midsize segment, sedans now account for over 40 percent of total sales.
Luxury Segment Performance:
The group’s luxury brands contributed significantly, with Porsche India adding more than 4,400 customers in six years and expanding to 13 retail outlets. Bentley consolidated its regional operations under Bentley India with new sales and service facilities in Mumbai and Bengaluru.
Audi recorded 5 percent growth between January and September 2025 and continues to grow its EV ecosystem by installing more than 6,500 charging points under Phase II of the Charge My Audi programme.
Lamborghini also recorded its best annual performance with deliveries of 113 cars in 2024, representing an increase of 10 percent compared to 2023. The Italian brand recently launched the Temerario in India, joining the Urus SE and Revuelto to complete the hybrid transition strategy.

Export:
Exports remain important to SAVWIPL operations, with over 7,00,000 India-made vehicles shipped to markets in Latin America, Africa, South East Asia and the Middle East. The group currently operates manufacturing facilities in Pune and Chhatrapati Sambhaji Nagar. The Pune plant has received an investment of approximately €600 million and was set up to support higher production volumes and expanding localisation.
Commenting on this milestone, Piyush Arora, CEO and Managing Director, Skoda Auto Volkswagen India, said, “Every milestone we achieve in India reflects our strong confidence in the country’s potential – not just as a market but as a driving force in the future of mobility. The 2 million figure is the result of consistent investment in people, technology and local capacity. It also reflects the extraordinary confidence Indian customers have in our six brands. They evaluate every strength and limitation before choosing a Volkswagen, Skoda, Audi, Lamborghini or Bentley. This achievement highlights how closely we listen to our customers and their growing expectations shape the products we design and build here with the same quality, precision and trust that defines the Group around the world.
