Škoda Auto leads operations in India on behalf of the Volkswagen Group and its brands. The country serves as Škoda’s second base outside Europe and a future export hub, capitalising on sales potential in regions such as ASEAN, the Middle East, Australia, and New Zealand.
In 2024, Škoda Auto produced 32,800 vehicles at its two Indian plants. The Pune facility manufactures the Slavia and Kushaq models, and in December 2024, production of the brand-new Kylaq compact SUV began, accompanied by an expansion of production capacity by 30%. The Kylaq will contribute to the brand’s annual sales target of 100,000 cars in India by 2026. The local logistics centre prepares Slavia and Kushaq models as completely knocked-down (CKD) kits, which will be assembled at a newly built plant in Vietnam. Meanwhile, production of the Kodiaq SUV continued last year at the facility in Chhatrapati Sambhajinagar (formerly Aurangabad).
Since December 2023, the Volkswagen Group’s plant in Bratislava, Slovakia, has been producing the new-generation Superb. In 2024, 54,500 units of this model rolled off the production line. Development of the Superb, alongside its sister model, the Volkswagen Passat, was entrusted to Škoda as part of the Beta+ project.
In China, Škoda vehicles were produced in the cities of Changsha, Ningbo, and Nanjing. The 2024 portfolio included the Octavia, Octavia Pro, Kamiq, Kamiq GT, Karoq, Kodiaq, and Superb, with total production reaching 15,200 vehicles.
In Solomonovo, Ukraine, assembly of the Karoq SUV continued.
