Skoda Auto is all set to enter the Indian electric vehicle (EV) market with the Enyaq iV, which recently unveiled at the Bharat Mobility Show 2024. Although the official launch timeline remains undisclosed, the electric SUV is anticipated to hit the market in the coming months, potentially by April.
