Škoda Auto Volkswagen India Achieves record domestic sales
Škoda Auto Volkswagen India (SAVWIPL) closed 2025 with one of its strongest performances to date, supported by a resilient industry recovery and rising demand across segments. The Group reported its highest-ever domestic sale of 117,000 units with ~36% year-on-year volume growth, while cumulative sales reached 159,500 units (domestic and export). This capped a milestone year in which SAVWIPL crossed 2 million Made-in-India vehicles, underscoring the scale and maturity of its manufacturing operations.
Volkswagen retained leadership in the premium sedan category, with the Virtus commanding a 38% segment share YTD, while the first batch of the Golf GTI sold out within days of launch. Škoda recorded 107% growth driven by the strong demand of the sub-4-meter Kylaq and the Octavia RS’s passionate comeback, highlighting the strong bond customers share with the brand. At the same time, the Group has increased its customer touchpoints to a strong 700 across brands, creating a reliable and well-spread service network across India.
In the premium segment, Audi introduced the Q7 Signature Edition, the Q3 and Q5 Signature Lines, and the award-winning RSQ8 Performance, setting new benchmarks for power, precision, and luxury. Lamborghini launched the Temerario, while the Revuelto was named ‘Super Car of the Year’. Porsche expanded to 13 points of sale and added new experiential formats to deepen customer engagement. Bentley joined SAVWIPL as the sixth brand, establishing new dealerships in Mumbai, Bengaluru and Delhi.
Piyush Arora, Managing Director & CEO, Škoda Auto Volkswagen India, said, “2025 has been a year of purposeful and broad-based progress for us. What stands out is that our performance is rooted in consistent execution and long-term road map for India. The strength of our Make-in-India strategy—supported by deeper localisation, scale and a robust product pipeline—is visible across manufacturing, sales and exports. As we move into 2026, our priorities remain clear: expand our portfolio and widen our network in line with customer needs, while strengthening India’s role as a high-quality global manufacturing hub. The momentum of this year reinforces our belief that India will be an even larger contributor to the Group’s global growth journey.”
With a host of product launches planned in 2026, SAVWIPL aims to build on this momentum, strengthen customer engagement and advance its sustainability commitments.
