    SKODA Elroq being considered for India, might debut in 2026

    What's the story

    SKODA is contemplating the introduction of its Elroq electric SUV to the Indian market, alongside the already confirmed Enyaq iV.

    The company is also considering local assembly for both electric vehicles (EVs).

    The global debut of SKODA Elroq is scheduled for later this year, with sales in Europe expected to commence by early 2025.

    If possible, SKODA plans to assemble both the Enyaq and Elroq in India from the last quarter of 2025.

    Policy decision

    SKODA's participation in EV policy uncertain

    SKODA is yet to decide on its participation in the government's EV manufacturing policy, which requires companies to set up manufacturing facilities in India within three years, and begin commercial production of EVs.

    "We want to participate in the EV policy but still cannot decide because the policy is not finalized," said Petr Janeba, Skoda India brand director.

    If SKODA participates, it could meet CAFE targets and import some niche EVs at a reduced customs duty rate of 15%.

    EV specs

    Enyaq and Elroq: Features and specifications

    The Enyaq iV, based on Volkswagen Group's MEB platform, comes with a 77kWh battery and dual motors that produce 265hp.

    It supports 125kW DC fast charging and can travel up to 513km on a single charge.

    The Elroq, yet to be revealed in its production-specific form, will adopt the new Modern Solid design language.

    It will offer three battery packs - 55kWh, 63kWh, and 82kWh - with both RWD and AWD configurations, boasting a claimed range of over 560km.

    Growth strategy

    SKODA India's future plans and network expansion

    Under its India 2.0 strategy, SKODA India has sold 100,000 units in two years and plans to launch the 2024 Kodiaq, Octavia vRS, a compact SUV, and potentially the Enyaq and Elroq in 2026.

    "If the government's EV policy is favorable, we might launch the Enyaq and Elroq EVs together in 2026," Janeba said.

    The company aims to expand its network from 200 sales touchpoints to between 280-and 300 by the end of 2025.
