BYD's First Showroom for Passenger Electric Vehicles opened in India

New Delhi, India (Urban Transport News): Ahead of World EV Day, Automobile dealer Landmark Group has opened a new 6,000 square feet sales and service facility in Okhla, New Delhi for passenger electric vehicles of BYD India on 7th September, 2022.

The inauguration of the latest showroom was done by Garima Misra, Managing Director of Landmark Group and Sanjay Gopalakrishnan, Senior Vice President of Electric Passenger Vehicle Business of BYD India in the presence of other senior officials. The Landmark Group is also planning to open another showroom in Andheri, Mumbai. 

"BYD e6 MPV, which was launched in November 2021 in India, is witnessing great acceptance among fleet buyers, and thus far 90-95 percent of the all-electric MPV's sales are from the aforementioned category. We have huge backorders and right now are unable to supply to customers as per the growing demand," said Garima Mishra, Managing Director, Landmark Group hinting that there is a chance that fleet operators might come BYD's way after the temporary discontinuation of the Innova Crysta diesel, the fleet champion.

"Customers who want similar levels of space and comfort will be surprised when they experience the e6," she said. The Landmark Group currently has around two months of backorders for the e6 MPV across Delhi and Mumbai.

“The New Delhi NCR region is one of the key markets for BYD India. New Delhi has immense potential for premium passenger vehicles, and additional 18,000 charging stations are planned to be installed across the city by 2024. The goal is to have one station for every 15 electric vehicles inside the city. This is a major boost for the EV industry and we strongly believe that BYD will be the main contributor to EV adoption in the EPV segments,” said Sanjay Gopalakrishnan, Senior VP of the Electric Passenger Vehicle Business of BYD India.

Landmark Group also retails Mercedes-Benz, Jeep and Volkswagen-branded cars in India.
