Rumour: Mahavir Group takes over Benelli's India operations

Benelli India may have parted ways with DSK Motowheels and moved under a new management. According to a media report, Hyderabad-based Mahavir Group has taken over Benelli's India operations as its former owners are faced with bankruptcy.

Benelli, which is a part of the Qianjiang Group, entered India in 2014 after announcing a partnership with DSK Motowheels. The brand currently has 25 dealerships across India, including one in Hyderabad, which is owned by the Mahavir Group. 

The report suggests that Mahavir Group will handle sales, service and spares for existing and new Benelli customers in India. The company is also planning to setup a new plant near Hyderabad. 

Apart from their association with Benelli, the Mahavir Group also has dealerships of Mercedes-Benz, Skoda, Isuzu and Indian Motorcycles in Hyderbad and Vijayawada.
