The company is opening two new showrooms at Teku and Naxal to sell Mahindra two-wheelers. The dealers appointed by Mahindra´s previous dealer will continue to sell the products, according to officials of SG Global.[break]
SG Global is also appointing new dealers across the country to expand Mahindra´s presence in Nepal´s two-wheelers market.
“Existing 16 dealers appointed by the previous distributor will continue to sell Mahindra two-wheelers. We´ve already appointed two new dealers and are in the process of appointing some more,” Raju Chhetri, vice-president of SG Global, told Republica.
SG Global´s 18 dealers are located in 17 major locations in the country. The company is also opening authorized service centers in Naxal and Teku.
“Within three months, all our dealers will have fully automated service centers and showrooms that are standardized as per the company norms,” said Chhetri.
To begin with, SG Global will sell three different models of Mahindra -- Rodeo, Flyte and Duro - in the Nepali market. It has reduced price of Rodeo by Rs 4,000 as compared to prices fixed by the previous dealer. It has slightly increased the price of Duro, but has kept the price of Flyte unchanged. Rodeo will cost Rs 159,000 in the Nepali market, while Flyte and Duro have been priced at Rs 151,900 and Rs 145,900 respectively.
“Most of the companies selling two-wheelers raised prices of their products a few months back which we have not done,” Chhetri said.
SG Global is offering two-year warranty on Mahindra two-wheelers. It plans to sell about 4,800 units of Mahindra two-wheelers over the next year.
“The figure looks a bit ambitious, but the risk is worth taking,” Chhetri added.
