Know what the Leaders have to say?
During an interview with ANI, Petr Janeba, Brand Director at Skoda Auto India, revealed the Enyaq EV’s launch timeline.

The Enyaq electric SUV is based on Skoda Auto’s MEB platform, which was designed from the bottom up specifically for electric vehicles. The Audi Q4 e-tron and Volkswagen ID.4 are both built on the same platform. Skoda is set to offer the Enyaq 80 in India.

Major Revamp
Janeba further on the Enyaq EV launch and Skoda’s EV vision for India, saying, “We have one of the best-selling EVs in Europe, the European Enyaq.” The automobile was tested and prepped for India. This year, we’ve stopped bringing the automobile. The Skoda Enyaq will get a major redesign in March to reflect the new design language. We can select one of the three EV cars going to India, or all three.” Skoda now has two manufacturing facilities in India, in Chhatrapati Sambhaji Nagar and Pune.
The next EVs from the Czech brand will be built in the Pune site. Janeba stated, “We will produce EVs at the same factory in Pune, Chakan. We have currently boosted production capacity in Pune to 250,000 units per year as a result of Kylaq, and we will raise further as needed for current cars due to export, Indian demand, or upcoming cars such as EVs.
