This is the right business and you are partnering with the right growth story in the form of First Choice Wheels. Together, we will create the biggest used two-wheeler, four-wheeler and many wheeler companies. Congratulations to the dealerships that are getting launched today."

The new MFCWL pre-owned car showrooms at located Delhi, Kolkata, Navi Mumbai, Chennai, Chandigarh, Patna, among other cities. The milestone also speaks volumes about the potential of the used car business that remains unorganised for the largest part across the country. More so, as the auto sector is still recovering from the slowdown last fiscal followed by the impact of the pandemic that's severely affected manufacturing and sales. However, growth is a welcome sign that shows the recovery is on track. MFCWL plans to expand its total dealership network to 1100 outlets by the end of the year.
