The Skoda Auto led Volkswagen Group India has announced the transformative merger of its three subsidiaries Volkswagen India Private Limited (VWIPL), Volkswagen Group Sales India Private Limited (NSC) and Skoda Auto India Private Limited (SAIPL), as part of the 'India 2.0' project. The merged entity will be now referred to as Skoda Auto Volkswagen India Private Limited (SAVWIPL), announced the company and will be led by Gurpratap Boparai assuming the role as the Managing Director. The integration, the company says, will help make more efficient use of existing synergies in the Indian market by 2025.
The merger brings all of Volkswagen Group companies under one umbrella comprising brands including Skoda, Volkswagen, Audi, Porsche and Lamborghini. The brands will continue to operate independently via the existing and new dealers and also implement their respective customer experience initiatives. However, the carmakers will have a shared vision for growing in the Indian subcontinent. The announcement comes on the back on the 1 billion Euro investment that was announced in July last year as part of the India 2.0 project. This will see Skoda Auto assume the leadership role with respect to operations in India and develop a new line-up of new products for the Indian market.
