Scania Commercial Vehicles India Pvt Ltd has announced the appointment of GMMCO Limited, a company under the CKA Birla Group, as its new authorized dealer partner for Northern, Eastern, and Central India. This marks a major step in Scania’s renewed India growth strategy, reinforcing its focus on expanding market reach, enhancing customer experience, and strengthening its presence across multiple business segments.
Under this arrangement, GMMCO will manage sales and service operations across the Northern, Eastern, and Central regions of India. PPS Motors will continue to represent Scania in the Southern and Western territories. This strategic regional structure ensures nationwide coverage, faster service response, and improved customer support — delivering a superior ownership experience for Scania’s clients across the country.
This partnership also reflects Scania’s strategic move from a direct sales model to a dealer-driven ecosystem. Going forward, Scania will concentrate on product development, innovation, and lead generation, while its dealer partners will independently handle sales, service, aftersales, invoicing, documentation, demo operations, and inventory management. This decentralized model enhances agility, strengthens accountability, and ensures customer-focused regional operations backed by local expertise.
Silvio Munhoz, Managing Director of Scania Commercial Vehicles India Pvt Ltd, said “The appointment of GMMCO marks an important milestone in Scania’s India growth journey. GMMCO’s strong industry presence, extensive service network, and customer-centric approach make them an ideal partner as we expand into new markets and sectors. This collaboration strengthens our long-term vision for India and sets a solid foundation for our next phase of growth — driven by the Scania Super range and our commitment to sustainable transport solutions.”
Aligned with Scania’s global strategy of delivering comprehensive transport solutions rather than just vehicles, this partnership highlights the company’s commitment to providing end-to-end value offerings tailored to each customer’s needs. Scania’s solution-based approach integrates application-specific vehicle selection, customized service and maintenance packages, financial solutions, and connected services for continuous performance improvement.
With GMMCO on board, Scania aims to accelerate its “solution sales” model through a dedicated and customer-focused dealer network, ensuring that each client receives a transport solution optimized for operational efficiency and total cost of ownership. Chandrashekar V, Managing Director & CEO of GMMCO Ltd, commented “We are proud to partner with Scania, a brand known worldwide for innovation, performance, and sustainability. This collaboration aligns with GMMCO’s mission to deliver comprehensive, technology-driven solutions that empower our customers across industries. With our strong service infrastructure, deep sector expertise, and focus on operational excellence, we look forward to driving Scania’s next phase of growth in India and creating exceptional value for our customers.”
Scania’s expanding dealer network will cater to a wide range of sectors including construction, long-haul transport, mining, and specialized applications, ensuring broader market coverage and robust service support. Both GMMCO and PPS Motors will operate within their designated territories, ensuring focused regional engagement, enhanced customer proximity, and superior aftermarket care.
Through this expansion, Scania reaffirms its commitment to strengthening customer relationships, driving sustainable mobility, and fostering long-term partnerships built on clean, energy-efficient, and future-ready transport solutions. With advanced technology, global best practices, and a clear strategic vision, Scania continues to power India’s journey toward smarter, safer, and greener transportation.
