PUNE: Volkswagen
Group Sales India announced its new Regional Distribution Centre (RDC) in
Chakan, Pune. The centre is spread over an area of 25,000 square metre in the
premises of Volkswagen Pune Plant, which the company says is an important
milestone for it in India for its plan to emerge as a stronger player in the
country.
The RDC is a state-of-the-art facility which has been designed
in co-operation with Volkswagen AG worldwide and is compliant to the latest and
highest global standards of Volkswagen. The Regional distribution centre in
Chakan, Pune was inaugurated by Justin Nolte, Director Group, After Sales and
Vehicle Logistics, Volkswagen. Present at the inauguration were Pavan
Shetty; P Ravichandran and other senior officials of the Volkswagen
Group.
Volkswagen said that during the first phase of its operation,
RDC, Chakan will manage the company’s export business from India for the global
market. The phase two of the operation, which starts from early next year,
will see it also servicing Volkswagen Group India dealerships across western
part of India with one-day delivery of high quality genuine parts, ultimately
ensuring higher customer satisfaction. This RDC will also be supplying
parts to its parts distribution centres (PDC) located in north and south of
India.
Speaking on this occasion, Nolte said, “This newly opened RDC
in Maharashtra is an integral part of the network strategy under ‘Depot Network
Development Project.’ It is the third warehouse in India after having PDCs
in Bangalore and NCR area. This centre will provide spare parts for all models
available in India under the Volkswagen family starting from Volkswagen, Skoda,
Audi, Porsche and Lamborghini. There is a positive customer sentiment
re-emerging in the market and we pledge to provide our dealers and buyers with
the best of our products and services. This inauguration today is a testament
to our existing and potential customers in India. Our relationship with our
customers will only strengthen from here on.”
With its strategic location, the company says the RDC in
Chakan, Pune will significantly contribute in reducing current lead-time in
providing genuine parts to the dealers across the states of Maharashtra,
Gujarat, Rajasthan and Madhya Pradesh. This is aimed to improve
Volkswagen Group after sales service offering, investing in creating
world-class infrastructure and striving to remain a step ahead of the
customers’ requirement by anticipating and offering them genuine parts by
making it readily available.
