Date: 01 Apr 2025

Skoda Auto Volkswagen India Private Limited (SAVWIPL) has been recognised as the "Top Exporter 2023-2024" by the Mumbai Port Authority. This prestigious accolade celebrates SAVWIPL’s remarkable contribution to India’s export landscape and its pioneering legacy of exporting made-in-India cars to the world for over 20 years. Aligned with the Government of India’s ‘Make in India’ vision, SAVWIPL has played a pivotal role in making India a key automotive export hub.

The Group has exported over 675,000 vehicles to date, reinforcing its commitment to engineering and manufacturing excellence. In 2023, the Group recorded an exceptional 38% year-on-year (YoY) growth when exports accounted for 30% of total production. This was followed by 20% YoY growth as exports constituted 40% of its locally produced vehicles in 2024.

SAVWIPL exported more than 43,000 locally-manufactured cars in FY 2023-24 to over 26 countries across Asia, Africa, and North America. From iconic models like the Volkswagen Vento and Polo to new-age models like the Volkswagen Virtus, Volkswagen Taigun, and Skoda Kushaq, SAVWIPL’s made-in-India cars continue to gain international recognition, strengthening its global presence and reinforcing India’s significance in the Group’s global strategy.

As part of its expanding export strategy, the company is also exporting parts and components to Vietnam from its Parts Expedition Centre in Pune to support local vehicle assembly in the region. This strategic move leverages India’s manufacturing prowess and geographical synergies, contributing to the growth of India’s automotive sector on a global scale.

Piyush Arora, Managing Director & CEO of Skoda Auto Volkswagen India Private Limited, commented on the achievement: “We are honoured to receive this award. This recognition is a testament to our unwavering commitment to quality, innovation, and the growing global presence of cars engineered and manufactured in India. Over the years, we have demonstrated our capabilities as a key export hub, and we remain dedicated to strengthening India’s role in the global automotive industry. We extend our gratitude to the port authorities, our dedicated teams, partners, and stakeholders who have made this success possible. As we look ahead, we will continue to explore additional export opportunities while maintaining the momentum into 2025.”

Skoda Auto Volkswagen India remains focused on developing the domestic ecosystem, nurturing local talent, and delivering world-class, high-quality vehicles that are both driven in India and appreciated globally. With this latest milestone, the Group reaffirms its commitment to 'Make in India, for India and the world', as it continues to drive Indian manufacturing excellence onto the global stage.
