GM to have 300 outlets by fiscal-end

General Motors India said on Saturday that it plans to have a network of at least 300 sales points and an equal number of service outlets in operation across the country by the end of this financial year. The focus is on opening new facilities in Tier II and III cities, where much of the demand for vehicles is takes place due to increased economic activities in the semi-urban and rural areas, said Lowell Paddock, President and Managing Director, in a statement here. He added that the company has 279 sales points and 272 service outlets at present. GM India will also open new show rooms and services outlets in some metros and other parts of the country. Paddock said the new outlets will support the company’s growing Chevrolet line-up across the country.
