Skoda Auto India has expanded its regional distribution network in Western India by commissioning three new customer touchpoints across Ahmedabad and Himmatnagar in Gujarat. The infrastructure expansion increases the brand's total footprint to 25 operational touchpoints spread across 16 cities within the state.
The expansion is executed through a commercial partnership with PPS Motors Private Limited, which marks the dealer group's entry into the Gujarat automotive retail market. The newly opened infrastructure includes a 26,700 square foot sales and service facility at Naroda in Ahmedabad, which features a six-car showroom floor alongside 19 service bays and a dedicated express care bay for rapid vehicle maintenance.
Additionally, a new 4,800 square foot sales showroom has been established in Maninagar, Ahmedabad, with capacity to display seven vehicles. Outside the capital region, a new 10,600 square foot compact 3S facility has been operationalized in Himmatnagar, incorporating a four-car display floor and a four-bay service workshop.
Ashish Gupta, Brand Director of Skoda Auto India, stated that the additions bring the manufacturer's total operational touchpoints in Ahmedabad to five locations, supporting the brand's broader volume strategy. Nationally, the company's network reach has scaled to more than 340 touchpoints across 189 cities.
Rajiv Sanghvi, dealer principal at PPS Motors, said: “This marks our entry into Gujarat and a significant milestone in our expansion across Western India. With 28 Škoda Auto-PPS Customer Touchpoints across Karnataka, Telangana, Andhra Pradesh, Kerala, and now Gujarat, this expansion reflects our shared commitment to delivering a premium customer experience across every stage of the ownership journey.”
