Skoda Enyaq vs Elroq – Which Electric SUV Will Be Skoda’s First in India?

The Elroq, Enyaq, and Enyaq Coupe, these cars are based on the MEB platform. The brand has not revealed that which of these three cars will come to India. This can be decided based on the EV policy, which will be announcement by Government in March 2025.

EV Policy Announcement Holds the Final Decision

The EV policy announced last year aimed to lower import duties to 15 percent for a limited number of EVs priced at$35,000 or more, but only if carmakers invest Rs. 4,150 crore and set up a manufacturing unit in India. Otherwise, the import duty remains high at 70-100 percent. The policy also required companies to meet certain localisation targets.

Therefore, the government is currently reviewing a revised version of this policy, with final guidelines expected by next month after discussions with industry stakeholders.
