History
Introduced to the market early in 2002, the Octavia was the first domestically built Škoda to be launched in India.[6] Targeted at the Indian premium segment,[6] its handling, fuel efficiency, and low initial price (compared to other products then available in the Indian market)[6] made the Octavia an instant hit with the Indian car user.[7] Its Turbocharged Direct Injection (TDI) diesel engined version, in particular, delivered a high level of fuel efficiency and (for the Indian market)[citation needed] power and torque, resulting in higher level of driveability when compared to existing products available in the Indian market.
Manufacturing facilities
Škoda Auto India Private Limited (SAIPL) has its assembly plant located at Shendra on the outskirts west of Aurangabad which has an annual capacity of 89,000 vehicles.[8] Production of the Škoda Fabia ended in 2013 due to low sales & high assembly cost.
