JSW Group is reportedly negotiating to acquire a majority stake in Skoda Auto Volkswagen India, potentially expanding its auto presence. The talks remain unresolved on valuation and investment. JSW is also building an EV factory in Maharashtra for its JSW Motors brand.

Why this matters

The reported Volkswagen India talks extend JSW Group’s consumer pivot beyond paints, SME commerce and sports, following Parth Jindal’s recent push across autos and other consumer-facing businesses.
