Skoda aims automatics to form 70% of India sales, eyes 3% market share

Skoda India sees growth in automatics and network expansion as key drivers to reach 3 per cent market share, with EV plans and a new SUV also in the works

As Skoda Auto India eyes a 3 per cent share of the domestic car market by end of this year from a current 1.8 per cent, indicating doubling of sales, it sees opportunity in the automatic transmission segment which now constitutes only 25 per cent of the market.

 

Skoda already has a higher penetration of automatics in its overall sales.

 

Skoda Auto India Brand Director Ashish Gupta told Business Standard that the automatic version of the Kylaq has been priced such (starting at ₹10.85 lakh) to make it one of the most accessible torque converter automatic cars in the market.
