Former authorised importers, Navnit Motors now become first BMW Motorrad dealer in India

After announcing its entry into India back at the 2016 Auto Expo, BMW Motorrad has finally set up its first dealership. The German motorcycle manufacturer has inaugurated their first showroom in Mumbai. Navnit Motors, headed by dealer principal, Mr Sharad Kachalia has been appointed as the exclusive dealer partner as they have been the authorised importer of BMW motorcycles in India. The showroom is located at the Lotus Trade Centre and the aftersales service workshop is located at Laxmi Industrial Estate in Andheri West. Mr Shivapada Ray has been appointed as the head of BMW Motorrad in India and next in line to get exclusive BMW Motorrad showrooms are cities like Ahmedabad, Bangalore and Pune.

BMW has introduced 11 bikes as Completely Built Units (CBU) which are BMW S 1000 RR, BMW R 1200 RS, BMW R 1200 RT, BMW K 1600 GTL, BMW R 1200 R, BMW S 1000 R, BMW R NineT, BMW R NineT Scrambler, BMW R 1200 GS Adventure, BMW R 1200 GS and BMW S 1000 XR.

Mr Sharad Kachalia, dealer principal, Navnit Motors said, “We take great pride in our relationship with BMW in India for more than a decade.
