Skoda Auto Volkswagen India Achieves Record Sales in 2025
Skoda Auto Volkswagen India has closed the 2025 calendar year with its strongest performance to date, reporting a record domestic sale of 117,000 units. This milestone represents a 36% year-on-year volume growth, with cumulative sales (including exports) reaching 159,500 units.
Driven by the Made-in-India Strategy
The core of this growth remains the MQB-A0-IN platform, which was developed specifically for the Indian market and now underpins all locally manufactured models for both Skoda and Volkswagen. A key highlight of the year was the success of the Kylaq, the Group’s first sub-4-metre SUV, which acted as a significant volume driver.
The manufacturing operations reached a major milestone in 2025, crossing 2 million Made-in-India vehicles produced. Furthermore, the company has established India as a strategic global production base, with cumulative exports surpassing 715,000 units and expansion into new markets in the ASEAN and GCC regions.
