11 Nov 2022 , 08:31 AM

Within the next 12 to 18 months, the Czech automaker Skoda Auto will introduce a fully finished model into the Indian electric vehicle (EV) market.

Petr Solc, brand director at Skoda Auto India, told ET that “we would like to test the market with a prepared unit from Europe.

According to him, Skoda eventually intends to offer a variety of EVs, some of which will be assembled locally, some of which will be parts and components. The development of the EV charging infrastructure will determine how quickly EVs are introduced.

With sales this year anticipated to be close to four million, India has recently emerged as one of the markets for passenger vehicles that is expanding the quickest in the world.

In India, Skoda sales are anticipated to more than double this year, reaching nearly 50,000 cars, up from 23,858 units in 2021. In the company’s first ten months of 2022, 44,500 units had been sold. It had previously recorded best-ever annual sales of roughly 34,000 units a decade ago.
