Skoda Crosses 5 Lakh Unit Production Milestone in India After Record H1 Sales in 2025
Czech automaker, Skoda on Friday announced that it has crossed a manufacturing milestone in India with 5 lakh cars produced in Indian manufacturing facilities. Skoda first rolled out the Octavia from its Chhatrapati Sambhaji Nagar facility in 2001.
The manufacturing capabilities in India support Skoda globally, with parts-and-components from India being assembled at the group’s new manufacturing plant in Vietnam. In addition to that, the facility will locally produce Kushaq and Slavia for Vietnam, making India a strategic export hub in Skoda’s international expansion.
Commenting on the milestone, Andreas Dick, Skoda Board Member for Production and Logistics, said, “Reaching the milestone of 5,00,000 cars produced in India is a proud testament to our strategic vision of commitment to India and operational excellence. By nurturing local engineering talent and embedding global manufacturing processes, we’ve built an ecosystem that is agile, scalable, and responsive to a dynamically changing environment that meets the highest international standards.”
Approximately 70% of the vehicles were manufactured at the Pune facility, with the remaining units produced at the Chhatrapati Sambhaji Nagar plant. This comes on the back of Skoda recording its highest-ever monthly sales in March 2025, delivering 7,422 units in a single month.
Piyush Arora, CEO and Managing Director, Skoda Auto Volkswagen India said, “It is not just about manufacturing 500,000 cars, but building and nurturing 500,000 connections. Every car that rolls out of our production lines, shares DNA of European engineering with unmatched quality, crafted with precision; delivering supreme comfort, safety, technology and driving dynamics.”
