Škoda Auto India has set a new benchmark in the country’s automotive market by registering its highest-ever annual sales within just the first 10 months of 2025. The company sold 61,607 cars between January and October 2025, surpassing its previous full-year record of 53,721 units in 2022. October alone contributed 8,252 units — marking Škoda’s best monthly sales ever. The feat comes as the Czech carmaker celebrates 25 years in India.
The strong momentum has been driven by robust demand for the Kylaq, Škoda’s first sub-4m SUV, which has nearly touched 40,000 units since launch. Steady demand for flagship models like the Kodiaq, alongside the Kushaq and Slavia, and the lightning-fast sell-out of the high-performance Octavia RS within 20 minutes, further underscored the brand’s appeal. Škoda has also crossed 200,000 locally manufactured cars and expanded its network to 318 customer touchpoints across 180 cities.
In Guwahati, Škoda dealers report rising interest in premium SUVs and performance-centric cars, driven by growing disposable incomes and aspirational buying trends in Assam. With more customers seeking technology-loaded and global-standard vehicles, the city has emerged as a promising hub for upper-mid-segment passenger vehicles. Ashish Gupta, Brand Director, Škoda Auto India, credited the success to “purpose-driven execution, product offensive, and network expansion.” The company plans to scale dealer workforce by 50% and invest 25,000 training days to enhance service excellence, reinforcing confidence and community building as it eyes continued growth in India.
