Mumbai Port continues to play a critical role in SAVWIPL’s export operations, serving as a strategic gateway for shipments to international markets across multiple continents.

Over 725,000 Made-in-India Vehicles Exported Globally

The latest honour follows SAVWIPL’s earlier recognition as the Mumbai Port Authority’s Top Exporter for 2023-24, reflecting sustained export growth over recent years.

To date, the company has exported more than 725,000 vehicles manufactured in India to markets across Asia, Africa, the Middle East and North America.

Commenting on the award, Piyush Arora, Managing Director and CEO of SAVWIPL, said the recognition validates the company’s strong export momentum and operational excellence across its manufacturing and logistics ecosystem.

According to Arora, India has evolved into a significant global export hub for the Group, with local manufacturing facilities playing an increasingly important role in the company’s international production and supply network.

Taigun, Virtus, Kushaq and Slavia Drive Export Growth

SAVWIPL’s export portfolio includes popular made-in-India models such as the Volkswagen Taigun, Volkswagen Virtus, Škoda Kushaq and Škoda Slavia.

In addition to exporting fully built vehicles, the company is expanding shipments of automotive parts and components to support local assembly operations in international markets. This strategy is helping deepen India’s integration into the Volkswagen Group’s global manufacturing ecosystem.

Expansion into New Markets Continues

As part of its long-term international growth strategy, SAVWIPL is also exploring new export opportunities and recently expanded its presence into the Sri Lankan market.

With vehicle exports continuing to rise and India’s manufacturing capabilities gaining global recognition, the latest award further cements SAVWIPL’s position among the country’s leading automotive exporters while reinforcing India’s status as a key hub for global automobile production and exports.
