India continues to be the Volkswagen subsidiary’s second-most important market, despite its low sales position.

Skoda Automobile Volkswagen India has formally declared that talks to establish an equity collaboration with an Indian company are moving further. Volkswagen’s wholly-owned Indian subsidiary is hoping to share expenses, risks, and profits by utilizing the sourcing, engineering, and procurement skills of its local partner in this possible agreement.

CEO Klaus Zellmer informed the media that Skoda’s ultimate choice about the group’s future investment in India will determine the name and timing of the announcement.

Zellmer went on to say that domestic partners are more familiar with the market and have local expertise. Although Skoda is open to continuing its operations solo, the equity partnership is a lucrative step in the Indian market.

According to the Economic Times, the VW Group seeks partnerships in response to government initiatives promoting electric vehicles and stricter carbon emission regulations, necessitating investments.

Despite being present in India’s cutthroat automobile market for more than 20 years, Skoda has less than 3% of the market. The Volkswagen Group revealed in 2018 that it had invested ₹1 billion in an Indian project headed by Skoda. In the middle of a cautious strategy in China and its recent pullout from Russia, the corporation chose India as its second most important market outside of Europe.

Skoda has disclosed that India will function as the group’s export hub for the Middle East and ASEAN countries.

Anticipating the EV boom, he underscored the pressing need to act quickly given the extended 36-month development cycle, emphasizing that there is no time to waste.

The Indian government is moving closer to enforcing more stringent laws. The Bureau of Energy Efficiency’s third phase of the Corporate Average Fuel Efficiency Norms (CAFE) mandates that automobile manufacturers in India cut carbon emissions by 33 percent over the following three years, failing which they will face fines. The implementation of the CAFE-3 regulations is set to commence in April 2027.
