1. The Growth Of Independent Auto Parts
Dealer In India
The auto spare parts market in India is on a rise. With the increased rate of vehicles being sold in
the market, obviously the need of spare parts has also increased and this has created a huge
opportunity in the market.
Many independent auto spare parts dealers like the Valeo group have sprung up due to the scope
of growth in the market. The motor vehicle market in India is at an all-time high and it does not
seem to lower at any point in the near future. A motor vehicle on an Indian road has an average
shelf life of about one and a half years. Obviously, after that it will need spare parts to be repaired
as in India no one sells a car in that less time. Suppose a person has bought a motor vehicle of
Mahindra and Mahindra company. After the certain shelf period the vehicle will require
Mahindra and Mahindra spares. The person may go to an independent repair shop rather than
an official outlet as it will be cheaper. Now, the independent repair shop will require Mahindra
and Mahindra spare to repair the vehicle. He may contact an independent dealer rather than
going to the company dealer. And herein there is the advantage of the independent spare parts
dealer in India. The chain of seller to the consumer is such that the independent dealer stands to
gain profit.
Valeo group is an example of an independent auto spare parts dealer. It is a huge group and is
situated in many countries where it provides full services to all motor vehicles. The products of
Valeo group such as Valeo starters are nowadays very popular in the market. The Valeo starters
are eco -friendly car parts which ensure that if a car is idle for some time, it turns off. In this way
the Valeo starters ensure that less pollution is spread through a car.
As we can see from the over- all scenarios, opening an auto spare parts business in India is an
extremely profitable business. Following things should be kept in mind while starting an auto
