Skoda Registers Best-Ever Half-Yearly Sales In H1 2025

Skoda Auto India has just announced that it has registered its best-ever half-yearly sales figures yet, since it began operations in India 25 years ago. The company sold 36,194 units between January and June 2025, registering a significant 134 per cent growth over the same time period in 2024. Part of the reason for the growth will likely be the relatively higher demand for the company’s newer products. These include the Kylaq, now the company’s most affordable offering, and the Kodiaq SUV, which went on sale in India a few months ago.
