Skoda Auto Volkswagen India Private Limited (SAVWIPL) announced that it has achieved the 600,000 export milestone for cars produced at its manufacturing facility in Chakan, Pune.
The India-made models are finding strong demand in Mexico, GCC countries, Sub Sahara, North Africa and other Asian markets, to name a few, further solidifying the Group’s global footprint. Notably, the Kushaq is also the first Škoda vehicle to be exported from India.
The entity that manages the Indian operations of Volkswagen Group brands – Skoda, Volkswagen, Audi, Porsche and Lamborghini- is responsible for fulfilling the VW Group’s ambition to become India's leading European car maker.
Piyush Arora, Managing Director & CEO, SAVWIPL, said, “Exports from India are an integral part of our global strategy. Crossing the 600,000 units mark is a significant milestone. India's strategic geographical location and the engineering capabilities here have been a key to our growing exports. It is a matter of great pride for us that the successful legacy of exports built by the India-made VW Polo and VW Vento continues to be carried forth by the Volkswagen Taigun, Volkswagen Virtus and Skoda Kushaq, which are enjoying the same acclaim and acceptance globally, as they do in India. Very soon, we will see the Skoda Kushaq and Skoda Slavia find their way to Vietnam through the parts and components route. This success exemplifies our steady commitment to 'Make in India' for both the domestic market and the world, with a clear focus on engineering each product for international excellence.”
