Mercedes Benz India expansion plans sees INR 850 crores investment

This increased investment was a bid to augment their footprint in India where they have introduced a new dealership in Bhubaneswar while another is planned in Jamshedpur. Mercedes Benz is keen to enhance customer experience and offer efficient after sales services in the eastern part of the country. As on date, the company has 72 touch points in India across 31 cities and is striving to augment this even further. They have the largest number of luxury car dealerships in the country.

Mercedes Benz India has now slipped behind Audi and BMW as far as sales are concerned.

Apart from announcing Performance Drive in January 2013, MB India launched their first car of this year, in the form of G63 AMG.
