Isuzu Motors has some big expansion plans lined up for the Indian market. The Japanese automaker, known for its pick-up truck and commercial vehicle range globally, aims to open 60 dealerships across India by the start of 2016.
Isuzu currently enjoys a decent amount of presence in all the four southern states and has recently added Maharashtra to its list as it is one of the largest markets for pick-up trucks in the country. Now, the company has inaugurated its first dealership in Noida, Uttar Pradesh. The existing models including the MU-7 and the D-Max pick up range have also been launched in the local market, priced at Rs 19.99 lakh and Rs 6.13 lakh onwards respectively (ex-showroom, Noida).
Managing Director Takashi Kikuchi says that UP is the third largest economy of India which contributes to around 15 per cent of the total automobile sales in the country. Isuzu is now present across seven states including Delhi, Maharashtra, Tamil Nadu, Kerala, Andhra Pradesh, Telengana and Karnataka.
