Hyundai Motor India Limited (HMIL) opened its 300th dealership in Karur, Tamil Nadu. HMIL has set a target to increase the dealership network to 320 by the end of 2010. In addition to its 300 dealerships, HMIL has an additional network of 112 sales outlets along with 130 Hyundai Advantage dealers which is the company’s pre-owned car business.
Speaking on the expansion drive, H. W. Park, MD & CEO, HMIL, said, "With a growing customer base and increase in our product portfolio we need to access more and more customers and to achieve this we set up an aggressive program to increase our sales and service network. We will continue with this expansion plan to reach out to new markets catering to the ever increasing demand for our products."
With its leap into the small car and the SUV segment with the i10 Sportz and the Santa Fe respectively, this strong dealership network would help HMIL's car sales for sure. HMIL further plans to increase this sales network strength to 610 by the end of this year.
