ŠKODA AUTO India celebrates 20 years of bringing excellence closer to the customers. The growth story for the company began when it established the first factory in Aurangabad and launched the OCTAVIA. Tasting instant success with the OCTAVIA, the company introduced further products from its global portfolio in the country like the SUPERB and LAURA. Furthermore, the company inaugurated the Pune production facility in 2008, which gave birth to another successful product in the form of the FABIA.
The products that followed included the YETI and RAPID in 2010 and 2011 respectively. In 2017, ŠKODA AUTO India launched the KODIAQ and continued to attract customers with world-class products. The company also launched the OCTAVIA vRS in limited numbers, but it sold out in quick time. In 2020, ŠKODA AUTO India introduced the KAROQ and in 2021, the company launched the KUSHAQ as the first car under the India 2.0 Project.
