Stressing that Madhya Pradesh is an important market for the company, given the abundance of natural resources in the State, Sreeram Venkateswaran, President and Chief Business Officer (Domestic Sales and Service), Daimler India Commercial Vehicles, commented, “BharatBenz tippers are the most preferred by fleet owners operating in the mining sector, and Madhya Pradesh, being rich in minerals and coal, gives us tremendous opportunities to grow our tipper business. Madhya Pradesh’s sharp focus on the Swacch Bharat has opened many opportunities in road construction and infrastructure where BharatBenz rigid trucks and tractor trailers will prove beneficial to customers there. We are really pleased to have such a strong and progressive sales and service in 15 locations in Madhya Pradesh, and we thank our dealer partners for maintaining our presence and serving our customers so passionately.”
