Škoda Auto India Celebrates 25 Years in the Country with Record Growth

Celebrating 25 years in India and a 130-year global legacy, Škoda Auto has marked a significant milestone by surpassing 300 customer touchpoints across 172 cities in India. This achievement comes hot on the heels of the company recording its highest-ever half-yearly sales in H1 2025, underlining its strong momentum in one of the world’s most dynamic automotive markets.

The rapid network expansion is central to Škoda Auto India’s growth strategy, which focuses on providing unmatched customer experiences, accessible products, and consistent service quality across both urban and emerging markets.

“Our growing network makes our product range more accessible to customers, while enabling smarter, faster service with consistent quality, across the country,” said Ashish Gupta, Brand Director, Škoda Auto India. “With a strong emphasis on ‘growing together and getting closer to customers’, we’ve expanded with both our long-term dealer partners and new partners known for customer centricity.”

Expanding Footprint Across India

Škoda Auto’s expansion strategy is built on a clear path: deepening presence in Tier 1 cities while aggressively expanding into Tier 2 and Tier 3 markets. Over the last nine months alone, the brand has entered 30 new cities, with 86% of the growth coming from Tier 2 and 3 geographies. Today, 75% of Škoda’s 300 touchpoints directly cater to customers in these high-potential regions.

This ensures:

• Easier access to sales and service facilities
• Reduced travel time for customers
• Consistent quality across locations

Kylaq: Driving New Growth

A key contributor to this growth is the Škoda Kylaq, which is helping the brand tap into new markets and attract first-time Škoda buyers. Alongside the Kushaq and Kodiaq, Škoda now offers an SUV for every customer need, while the Slavia continues the brand’s storied sedan legacy in India. An all-new global sedan is also on the horizon, further strengthening the portfolio.

Ownership Experience That Goes Beyond

Škoda Auto India’s efforts to improve customer proximity go beyond sales and service touchpoints. The brand also offers a range of ownership benefits designed to enhance peace of mind:

• Complimentary Škoda SuperCare Maintenance Package for one year with every new car
• Warranty, Road Side Assistance (RSA), and maintenance packages that ensure quality after-sales support
• No expense on routine service until the second year or 30,000 km, whichever comes earlier

These measures highlight Škoda Auto India’s commitment to a hassle-free ownership experience, one that blends value, safety, and premium service.
