Ford India has inaugurated its fourth parts distribution centre in India, this time in Kolkata. The carmaker already has distribution centres in Chennai, Mumbai and Delhi. With the centre, Ford hopes to enhance its reach across the country and enable faster distribution of spare parts.

The spare parts distribution centre was inaugurated by Nigel Harris, president, Ford India, along with other executives.

"With this new parts distribution centre, we will be closer to the dealer network, improving parts availability, reducing lead time and enhancing overall customer experience,” shared PK Umashankar, executive director, marketing, sales and service, Ford India.
