Celebrating 130 years of automotive legacy globally and marking a presence in the Indian market for the last 25 years, Skoda Auto India has launched the ‘Skoda Superstars' campaign that underlines celebration of passion, persistence and people. 
It aims at those who dare to dream and work relentlessly with actor Ranveer Singh as the anchor. A film featuring Singh along with iconic cars of the brand through the ages – as a key part of the campaign – highlights the resilience of Skoda’s iconic founders, Laurin and Klement. It also focuses on modern-day heroes from all walks of life, leaving viewers with a compelling call to action – to ‘celebrate your journey’.
Petr Janeba, Brand Director, Skoda Auto India, spoke about the campaign: “The ‘Skoda Superstars’ campaign is not just a tribute, it’s a movement. It’s our way of honouring the spirit of determination and drive that has defined Skoda Auto since 1895 and continues to thrive in the people around us today. As we celebrate 130 years globally and 25 years in India, we want to go beyond just showcasing our cars. We want to celebrate the human stories that mirror our own journey, from vision and grit to achievement. Through this campaign, we’re inviting every individual to share their personal triumphs and become a part of the Skoda legacy. Because in the end, it’s not just about where you come from, but how far your passion and work ethic can take you.”
As part of the campaign, Skoda Auto India is inviting fans to participate in a unique contest by sharing their stories of dreams turned into achievements. By uploading a personal photo that reflects their journey, users can generate a special double-exposure image featuring themselves and a Skoda car, symbolising how their personal milestones intersect with the brand’s enduring legacy.

Porsche India has launched an Assured Buy-Back Programme in partnership with a financial services provider, establishing guaranteed future valuation parameters for its vehicle range at the point of sale.

As per the terms, buyers can secure a guaranteed buy-back valuation of up to 70 percent after a 36-month tenure.

The scheme is available to private owners purchasing eligible Porsche models, including the Cayenne SUV alongside the Macan Electric and Taycan electric vehicle lines. The financial structure bridges the difference between the pre-agreed guaranteed value and the market resale value realised at the conclusion of the coverage term, subject to program conditions.

Ashutosh Dixit, Head of Porsche India, said, “The introduction of the Assured Buy-Back Program provides our customers with greater peace of mind while offering the flexibility to continue their journey with the Porsche brand. As we continue to enhance the ownership experience, this initiative reflects our commitment to delivering solutions that support our customers during their ownership journey.”

The agreement duration spans 36 months from the initial vehicle invoice date. At the end of the term, vehicle owners can exercise the buy-back option or transition into subsequent models within the brand's portfolio.
