Škoda Auto hits a 300 in India
Noida, July 14, 2025 – Škoda Auto is revving to newer highs as it celebrates its 25-year legacy in India, and 130 years globally. Earlier this month, the brand achieved its highest half-yearly sales ever in H1 2025. In yet another achievement, the company has now crossed 300 customer touchpoints, catering to customers across 172 cities in India. Providing an unmatched customer experience is central to Škoda Auto’s India growth strategy. The rapid network expansion reflects this, along with the strong momentum the brand is building across India.

Commenting on the achievement, Ashish Gupta, Brand Director, Škoda Auto India, said, “Our growing network makes our product range more accessible to customers, while enabling smarter, faster service with consistent quality, across the country. With a strong emphasis on ‘growing together and getting closer to customers’, a large part of our expansion has been undertaken with Škoda Auto’s long-term dealer partners in India, while also bringing new partners with a proven track record of customer centricity into the fold. This expansion is a step forward in strengthening Škoda Auto’s legacy in India and delivering on our promise of safety, value, and a truly rewarding ownership experience.”
Continuing from the Kylaq
The Kylaq is a key driver of Škoda Auto’s growth in India as it targets new customers in new markets that are now being catered to with the brand’s network expansion. Combined with the Kushaq and Kodiaq, Škoda Auto India now has an SUV For Everyone. The Slavia continues Škoda Auto’s sedan legacy in India with a global icon soon to be introduced in the country. The growing network perfectly complements Skoda Auto’s product strategy in India.
The path towards growth
Škoda Auto India’s growth strategy is to go deeper in Tier 1 markets and expand further in Tier 2 and Tier 3 markets. In line with this strategy, in the past nine months, the brand has entered over 30 new cities, all in Tier 2 and Tier 3 markets, in addition to continued expansion in existing Tier 1 cities. Furthermore, 86% of the expansion in this period has been in Tier 2 and 3 geographies, and 75% of the 300 touchpoints directly cater to customers in these cities. This provides them with easier access to sales and service support, reduces travel time to the nearest dealership or service facility, and brings consistent quality closer to customers.
Owning a Škoda
The company’s endeavour to be closer to its customers by expanding its network and increasing its touchpoints is further defined by a slew of warranty, maintenance, and Road Side Assistance packages that ensure customers are provided a quality ownership and maintenance experience with a Škoda. In addition to this, Škoda Auto India offers the Škoda Supercare maintenance package as complimentary with every Škoda car for a period of one year. With this, a Škoda owner’s first expense for routine service is only at the end of the second year of ownership or 30,000kms, whichever is earlier.

Vedanta’s 3D Strategy to Double Company Size through Demerger, Diversification and Deleveraging
12th July 2025: Vedanta Ltd. unveiled a vision for its next phase of growth at its 60th Annual General Meeting, with Chairman Anil Agarwal outlining a transformation plan built on demerger, diversification, and deleveraging. Backed by strong financials, record shareholder returns, and a growing portfolio of critical minerals and energy transition metals, Vedanta’s growth is aligned with India’s economic and energy ambitions. Vedanta also announced that it will incubate 1000 deep-tech start-ups. The company also reiterated its plans to establish India’s first industrial zinc and aluminium parks.

Speaking at the AGM, Chairman Mr. Anil Agarwal said, “Our 3D strategy, Demerger, Diversification and Deleveraging will enable us to double in size and unlock maximum value for our stakeholders.”
The world is seeing resource nationalism. Anil Agarwal emphasized the central role of natural resources and its significance to India’s economic future, particularly in enabling energy transition technologies like EVs and renewables, as well as digital infrastructure. With India’s geology comparable to resource-rich nations like Canada and Australia but only 25 percent explored, he said the time was ripe for accelerated growth in the critical minerals sector.
He added, “This is not just a story of growth, it is the story of realizing India’s aspirations. We are fully aligned with the needs of a developed Bharat.”
Vedanta is strategically positioned to lead this transformation. The company has secured 10 critical mineral blocks across India, one of the largest by any private sector company. This reinforces Vedanta’s transformation into a critical minerals, energy transition metals, energy, and technology conglomerate. It is also setting up the world’s first industrial Zinc Park and India’s largest Aluminium Park, aimed at nurturing thousands of MSMEs and creating lakhs of employment opportunities, marking the beginning of a metal revolution in India.
A key highlight of the AGM was the company’s demerger plan. With over 99.5 percent shareholder and creditor approval, Vedanta is in the advanced stages of executing its ‘value-unlock’ proposal. Once completed, shareholders will receive shares in each of the four newly demerged entities. Each business will have its own strategic focus, investor base, and growth path, with the potential to grow into $100 billion enterprises.
Chairman Agarwal emphasized, “Each business will get a renewed focus, new investors, and a unique opportunity to achieve its full potential.”
In line with its long-term strategy, Vedanta is also incubating future industrial champions. The company announced plans to partner with 1000 startups in deep tech space, through what is set to become one of India’s largest industrial incubator platforms in the manufacturing sector. These initiatives aim to future-proof operations and support India’s broader goals of self-reliance and economic leadership.
Mr. Agarwal also reiterated the company’s commitment to sustainability, technology, and social development. Hindustan Zinc has been ranked 1st in the global metals and mining sector, while Vedanta Aluminium is 2nd in the aluminium category in the S&P Global Corporate Sustainability Assessment 2024. The company remains committed to achieving net zero emissions by 2050. Its flagship social impact initiative, Nand Ghar, has crossed 8,500 centres across 15 states, supporting child development and women’s empowerment.
He also outlined a lifelong dream to set up a world-class educational institute in India. Mr. Agrawal further added, “This will be another pillar of our Corporate Social Responsibility initiatives. Vedanta University will be a world-class institution inspired by the likes of Harvard. This will not only bring global standards of research and education to India, but also help nurture the next generation of scientists, engineers, and leaders, all at home.”
Vedanta’s performance in FY 2024–25 has been robust, with revenues of ₹1,50,725 crore and EBITDA of ₹43,541 crore. It emerged as one of the top wealth creators in the NIFTY 100, delivering a total shareholder return of 87 percent. Hindustan Zinc is setting up a 2.5 lakh tonne integrated smelting complex with a ₹12,000 crore investment. In Oil & Gas, Cairn has acquired seven new OALP blocks and aims to double production to 3 lakh barrels per day. Aluminium capacity is being expanded to 31 lakh tonnes, with a new 30 lakh tonne greenfield smelter also planned.
The Chairman concluded by acknowledging the contribution of Vedanta’s 1 lakh strong workforce, noting that 22 percent of its workforce and 28 percent of its leadership are women, with a goal of 30 percent female representation by 2030.
