Skoda Elroq India Launch Soon?

Skoda India is going to catch on the bandwagon of electric cars in India. The Enyaq EV is going to be the all-electric offering from Skoda, with its launch slated for late 2024. However, the Enyaq will cost over 50 lakh owing to the tax impositions in completely built units. The Elroq EV could attract the masses with its affordable pricing. Very little is known about the launch timeline and whether it will be launched on our shores as a CKD or a CBU.
