From Parade Ground to Playground: Škoda Kylaq Marches into CSD Depots Nationwide

Mumbai: In a move that’s equal parts strategic and sentimental, Škoda Auto India has announced that its all-new Škoda Kylaq is now officially available through the Canteen Stores Department (CSD) network across India. This means the nation’s uniformed heroes can now drive home Škoda’s 5-star-rated SUV at exclusive subsidised prices — a salute on wheels, quite literally.

About CSD: Where Service Meets Savings

The Canteen Stores Department (CSD), operating under the Ministry of Defence, is among India’s largest retail chains, offering a vast range of quality products to armed forces personnel at concessional rates. With a sprawling network of Unit Run Canteens and a robust online portal, CSD ensures convenience, affordability, and nationwide accessibility.

Now, Škoda Auto India joins this ecosystem, bringing the Kylaq—the brand’s most accessible SUV—to those who serve and protect the nation. Because let’s be honest, if anyone deserves German engineering with Indian grit, it’s the folks who march so the rest of us can drive in peace.

🚙 The Kylaq: Ready for Both Duty and Detours

Built on the MQB-A0-IN platform, the Kylaq is a made-in-India SUV infused with European know-how. It boasts a 5-star Bharat NCAP rating for both adult and child occupant protection, ensuring that safety stands at ease, but never off duty.

Under the hood, the Kylaq packs a 1.0 TSI engine paired with either a six-speed manual or a six-speed torque converter automatic. With Škoda’s signature build quality, taut driving dynamics, and advanced safety features, it’s as comfortable on a Sunday family outing as it is on a regiment’s convoy.

📈 Expanding Horizons Beyond the Showroom

Škoda Auto India isn’t just stopping at CSD. The company is actively tapping into new business avenues—from certified pre-owned channels to government and fleet sectors—broadening its footprint beyond traditional retail. Rural and corporate segments will continue to be key focus areas as the brand accelerates its growth momentum.

💻 How to Get Behind the Wheel

Eligible personnel can log in to the CSD online portal to check out the Kylaq and avail the exclusive benefits. No marching orders required—just a click, a salute, and the open road ahead.
