Highlights

  • Skoda Auto India is targeting to increase its sales by over 200 per cent
  • The carmaker will be increasing its sales touchpoints to 130 dealerships.
  • Skoda is also planning to launch the Vision IN based compact SUV in 2021.

The India 2.0 strategy holds a great significance for the Volkswagen Group not only for the Indian market, but also when you look at the wider demography of other Asian and Latin American markets. Those models that will be designed and developed in India from ground up will also be considered for exports primarily in other developing economies and that's likely to give the German group more volumes. Now we already know that Skoda Auto India is leading the charge for the Skoda Auto Volkswagen India PVT. LTD. (SAVWIPL) and the company has ambitious volume targets for the coming year.
