Dilip Chhabria likely to set up car manufacturing unit in Gujarat soon




Dilip Chhabria’s stable - DC Avanti - could be manufactured in Gujarat in the coming years. Chhabria is planning to set up a customised car manufacturing unit near Ahmedabad which will redesign and modify mass market cars.

assembly plant is being set up at Talegaon near Pune that will have a capacity to manufacture 2,500 Avantis a year. We expect demand for Avantis to increase in the coming years and chances are that the expansion might happen in Gujarat. We are seriously thinking of Gujarat as the next step for Avanti,” said Chhabria on Wednesday.
The first DC Avanti is expected to be out by December. “We will be having the demo cars out for customers by October this year,” he said while announcing the inauguration of a DC Design showroom in Ahmedabad that will be opened for public on April 28. DC Design is a firm promoted by Chhabria.
The manufacturing unit in Gujarat will be in joint venture with the promoters of Abhidev Automotives Pvt Ltd who will provide the land and basic infrastructure to DC Design for the unit that is expected to come up by 2014. The new facility will focus on designing existing cars as per customers’ tastes.
Currently, DC Design has manufacturing facilities in Pune, Mumbai and Gurgaon which churns out 600-800 cars every year.
