Indian automobile giant Mahindra has entered Bangladesh's two-wheeler market with motorcycles and scooters in partnership with Aftab Automobiles, a local company.
The local firm, a sister concern of Navana Group, will market the motorcycles and scooters of Mahindra Two Wheelers, a motorcycle maker.
Communications Minister Obaidul Quader formally launched the Mahindra-branded motorcycles and scooters at a function at Ruposhi Bangla Hotel in Dhaka on Saturday.
Customers will get best after-sales support and spares availability through the group's showrooms, workshops and dealer network across the country, said Shafiul Islam, chairman of Navana Group.
Prices of Mahindra Pantero motorcycle have been fixed at Tk 1.4 lakh, Mahindra Rodeo RZ scooter at Tk 1.47 lakh and Mahidra Duro DZ scooter at Tk 1.42 lakh. The prices of Mahindra Centuro motorcycle may be fixed at Tk 1.5 lakh.
Describing the motorcycles' features, Gajanan Umarekar, regional business manager of Mahindra Two Wheelers, said these are powered by Mahindra's indigenously developed 110cc engine.
Mahindra scooters offer the power of an advanced and powerful 125cc engine that provides instant pick-up and multi-terrain acceleration, Umarekar said.
