“Enhancing ownership experience is an intensive and continuous process, and a strategic imperative for Ford India. An important part of this endeavour is to keep improving our world-class after-sales offerings as we increase our footprint in India. With this new parts distribution centre, we will be closer to the dealer network improving parts availability, reducing lead time and enhancing overall customer experience,” shared PK Umashankar.
 
The new warehouse will enable a better turnaround time in delivery of parts and accessories to dealerships in East and North Eastern parts of India. The East Zone is a rapidly growing market for Ford India and the new centre will serve 28 dealer locations in this region.
 
“Together with enhancing customer satisfaction through improved delivery performance, this new centre supports our overall network expansion strategy and commitment to our customers in India.
