Zac Hollis, Brand Director, Skoda Auto India, said, “The concerted efforts of the entire team to ensure the successful roll-out of the India 2.0 project is bearing fruit. This project is not only about new platforms and products, but an entire rejuvenation of our business processes. Despite the foreseeable challenges impacting the market sentiments in the short-term, we are confident that 2022 will be the biggest ever year for us in India.”
Moreover, in the January-March 2022 quarter, Skoda Auto India clocked the highest quarterly sales of 13,120 vehicles. In the same period in 2021, it had sold 3,016 cars, recording a growth of more than five-fold on a year-on-year basis.
