Porsche appoints dealer in Kochi
Porsche India has appointed EVM Premium Cars India Pvt. Ltd. as its eighth dealer in India and the first in the state of Kerala. Ever since the re-launch of its retail operations in India last year, Porsche has been constantly increasing its footprint across the country.
The Kochi dealership comes as an addition to the already present dealers in Ahmedabad, Bengaluru, Chandigarh, Gurgaon, Hyderabad, Kolkata and Mumbai. In all of these locations, customers will see the opening of world-class Porsche Centres in the coming months, with the first facility planned to open in Mumbai in August.
Porsche India is a division of Volkswagen Group Sales India Private Limited, with headquarters in Mumbai. Porsche's range of sport luxury cars sold in India include the iconic 911, Boxster, Cayman, Cayenne and Panamera.
"Kochi is home to a strong entrepreneurial spirit and the awareness of Porsche among our prospective customers is promising. We are pleased to announce our upcoming presence in this vibrant market and are looking forward to serving discerning automotive enthusiasts not only in the commercial capital of Kerala, but in the entire state," said Anil Reddi, Director of Porsche India.
The Kochi facility is to be located in the Kochi Bypass Maradu. Work on the new showroom is set to begin in September this year with an opening planned for mid-2014. Starting August, Porsche will be working out of a temporary Kalamassery facility.
"It is an honour to represent one of the world's most iconic automotive brands in Kerala. We are proud to partner with Porsche India. Together, we aim to provide a unique ownership experience that the brand is renowned for. We look forward to the official launch of the brand's presence in our state in August," said Sabu Johny, Managing Director, EVM Premium Cars India Pvt. Ltd.
