Skoda Auto crosses major milestone, rolls out 500,000th car in India
Skoda Kylaq is the latest launch from the brand. It goes up against sub-compact SUVs like Maruti Suzuki Brezza, Tata Nexon, Hyundai Venue, Kia Sonet and Mahindra XUV 3XO. Check Offers Škoda Auto Volkswagen India has announced a key manufacturing milestone with the rollout of its 500,000th car produced in India. This significant achievement comes over two decades after the Czech carmaker began its local production journey in 2001 with the Octavia model at its Chhatrapati Sambhaji Nagar (formerly Aurangabad) plant. The half-a-million mark reflects not just growing customer demand but also Škoda Auto Volkswagen India's steady integration of global manufacturing standards with Indian operations. Production is currently carried out across two major facilities in Pune and Chhatrapati Sambhaji Nagar, with roughly 70 per cent of the vehicles assembled in Pune. Škoda's journey in India has been marked by the introduction of several key models, ranging from early favourites like the Octavia and Laura to more recent offerings such as the Kushaq and Slavia. These vehicles have catered to a wide spectrum of Indian buyers and have contributed to Škoda's expansion into a more accessible and locally relevant portfolio.
