Skoda Auto Volkswagen India Private Limited has announced the expansion of its research and development footprint with the inauguration of a new wing of its Technology Centre Pune (TCP) in Baner. This expansion underscores the Group’s commitment to nurturing local engineering talent, enabling a sharper response to Indian consumer preferences and market trends, and ensuring faster adaptation and scalability.

The new Baner facility spans 33,000 sq. ft. in a prime urban location within Pune city limits. It is dedicated to advanced vehicle development, platform engineering, software solutions, and sustainable mobility innovations. This strategic addition complements the Chakan plant, bringing the total workforce to over 450 engineers engaged in both domestic and international projects.
As an integral part of the Volkswagen Group’s global R&D ecosystem and acting as the ‘Voice of India,’ the new wing further strengthens SAVWIPL’s role in global automotive innovation. It enhances localisation efforts, supports export markets, and upholds the Group’s uncompromising standards of quality, safety, and technology.
Commenting on the announcement, Piyush Arora, Managing Director & CEO, Škoda Auto Volkswagen India Private Limited, said, “The expansion of our R&D footprint in Pune marks another important milestone in our India journey. With the new Baner wing, we are creating additional capacity in a dynamic urban location while building on the strong foundation of our Technology Centre Pune in Chakan. As part of its long-term roadmap, TCP is set to expand its competencies in digitalization, automation, and advanced safety technologies. This combined engineering ecosystem allows us to deliver global-quality solutions with higher speed, greater localisation, and a sharper understanding of customer requirements in India and the world. It further underlines India’s position as a strategic development and competency hub for the Volkswagen Group.”
