The company delivered 72,665 units during the year, representing a massive 107% increase compared to the 35,166 units sold in 2024. This record-breaking achievement coincides with the brand’s 25th anniversary in India and highlights a significant shift in its market presence.
Strong Monthly Momentum and Growth Drivers
The final quarter of 2025 saw sustained sales traction for the brand. In December 2025, Skoda sold 5,567 units, building on the momentum of November 2025, which saw 5,491 units delivered. The November performance alone marked a 90% year-on-year increase.
Several key models were instrumental in driving these volumes:
- Skoda Kylaq: This model emerged as the primary volume driver, successfully expanding the brand’s reach within the competitive compact SUV segment.
- Slavia and Kushaq: These locally produced models maintained steady demand, supported by the introduction of various limited editions.
- Skoda Kodiaq: The flagship SUV strengthened its position in the premium segment.
- Octavia RS: The performance sedan saw overwhelming interest, with all 100 units allocated for India selling out almost immediately after bookings opened.
Network Expansion and Rebranding Milestones
Beyond sales figures, Skoda focused on enhancing the customer experience and brand identity across India. The company expanded its retail and service network to cover 183 cities.
Significantly, Skoda Auto India became the first large market for the brand globally to complete 100% rebranding of its network. This involved updating all customer touchpoints with the new corporate identity and design, reflecting the brand’s modern direction. To further lower ownership costs and boost buyer confidence, the company introduced extended standard warranties and various feature upgrades across its portfolio.
Future Outlook: Strategy for 2026
Looking ahead to 2026, Skoda Auto India plans to maintain this upward trajectory through a renewed product offensive.
