Environment needs to be understood at a macro-level.

Therefore on this World Environment Day, we are introducing a Road Side Assistance Program for our customers with the motto of ‘You Never Ride Alone’.

Sharma further added:

We want to assure our customers that they are safe on the road and will never be stranded in case of emergency situations through our RSA. The initiative aims to resolve on-road problems faced by the customer through a 24/7 helpline and personal assistance. Our focus is on increasing customer satisfaction by providing an excellent after sales experience in addition to high-quality make in India products.
