The Chakan facility, which started with the production of the Skoda Fabia, has since produced an array of models, including the Volkswagen Vento and Polo, and the Skoda Rapid. The latest additions to its line-up, the INDIA 2.0 range – Volkswagen Taigun and Virtus, Skoda Kushaq and Slavia – recently crossed the 300,000 units production mark.
