\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tSAVWIPL made an announcement that it plans to broaden its EV range with the Volkswagen ID.4 and the Skoda Enyaq after four years of selling only expensive models from Audi and Porsche. Launching in the same year, both vehicles experienced delays caused by difficulties from within and outside the company. \t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

Country aims to increase local manufacturing by 2027 <\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tCurrently, the company is considering local EV production using Volkswagen\u2019s MEB Entry and MEB Small platforms as well as the Compact Main Platform, now known as CMP. By as early as 2027, SAVWIPL plans to bring out its first locally manufactured EV and hopes that this step will help it compete in India\u2019s affordable car market. \t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tExisting plans show the company importing its EVs. There are currently plans for locally assembling the Skoda Enyaq. It has also been suggested that SAVWIPL will start assembling the Enyaq Coupe and soon the Elroq Skoda. \t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tA lot of what the company will do in the next years with EVs will depend on the results of FTA talks between India and the European Union. Thanks to a favorable FTA, it would be possible for SAVWIPL to manufacture certain components of EVs in India with minimal increases in production expenses. \t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tSkoda VW India hopes to increase its share of the passenger vehicle market from the current 3% to 5% by the medium term. As Toyota launches both new-generation ICEs and EVs, EVs are expected to help the company achieve its goal. \t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tAccording to FADA, the market for electric vehicles in India expanded rapidly last year, with sales up over 50%. Nonetheless, the high cost of EVs and insufficient infrastructure are obstacles for accommodating more EVs. \t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tWith Skoda VW joining the EV market, it now faces fierce competition from well-known names such as Tata Motors, Mahindra, Hyundai and MG Motor which have all released more EVs in recent times. \t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tIt is believed that producing cars in India at competitive rates and with a well-known brand could enable Skoda and Volkswagen to do well in the Indian electric car market.<\/span><\/span>\u00a0<\/span>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t
