Skoda Auto India increased its car prices by up to 1.2% from October 1, 2026. The company announced the Skoda price hike on Tuesday and attributed it to rising input and operational costs. The maximum increase has been capped at ₹20,000.

Skoda Price Hike Details

The revision applies at the ex-showroom level across the brand's India portfolio, the company said in a statement. The exact increase depends on the model and variant.

"Up to 1.2%" is the upper limit, not a flat increase. Similarly, ₹20,000 is the maximum, so not every Skoda car will get the highest hike. Revised model-wise or variant-wise prices have not been shared in the supplied details.

Which Skoda Cars Are Covered

The price revision applies across Skoda's India portfolio. The Kylaq, Slavia, Kushaq, Kodiaq and Superb are listed as part of the line-up. The performance-focused Octavia RS and Kodiaq RS also appear in the portfolio.

Skoda also brought new trims and features across its range during 2026. These include the Sportline variant of the Kylaq and the Classic+ and Prestige+ trims.

Skoda's Sales Run In India

The price revision comes after a strong run for the brand in India, according to the company. Skoda said it recorded its highest-ever first-half sales in 2026.

As of August, it had sold more than 50,000 vehicles in the country this year, which is growth of over 8% compared with the same period in 2025.

  • In 2025, Skoda sold 72,655 vehicles in India. The company describes this as its highest annual sales at the time.

  • Skoda also said more than 250,000 locally manufactured vehicles have been sold during its recent growth phase. This includes Kylaq, Kushaq and Slavia. The Kylaq alone has crossed 75,000 units in sales.

  • The carmaker has also expanded its retail network to more than 345 touchpoints across 193 cities in India.

A Final Word…

To sum up, Skoda Auto India will raise prices by up to 1.2% at the ex-showroom level from October 1, 2026. The increase will not exceed ₹20,000 and will differ by model and variant. Skoda has cited rising input and operational costs as the reason.
