India gained from the cessation of sales in Russia and modest performance in China.
India is set to end 2022 in the top three markets as expanded volumes on account of product portfolio and network expansion helped Skoda set a new record crossing 60,000 units in annual sales, more than double the sales last year. Martin Jahn, member of board of management for sales and marketing at Skoda Auto told ET, the company has been able to deliver on volumes planned with the Slavia sedan getting off to good start.
“We are very excited about India. We are successful with our recent products. With the current situation in the Russian market, India is becoming one of our biggest markets now. In the first half of 2022, India was number three. And we expect it will be a country which will also drive future growth,” Jahn said.
Interestingly to define the next phase of expansion in India, the entire board of Skoda Auto is currently deliberating multiple plans.
