Even though the news of the launch of Octavia RS is very good for the people, the launch of the rest of the company's vehicles has been postponed for the time being. This list includes Kodiaq RS, Superb, and even the regular Octavia. Skoda India Brand Director Ashish Gupta told about this while talking to Autocar. He said that these decisions have been postponed due to FTA (free trade agreement), new policies, and geopolitical uncertainties. He said, “There is uncertainty in the market due to FTA agreements, new policies and tariffs. Every strategy is risky due to many variables. We have a plan on which cars can be brought to India, but uncertainties are hampering decision-making.
