BYD India is growing its presence in India, and Landmark Cars, BYD’s biggest partner, is leading the charge. Landmark Cars has been given approval to open a new showroom and workshop in Pune, Maharashtra. This expansion is a key step in BYD’s strategy to become a major player in the Indian electric vehicle market.
Key Points

Landmark Cars already has seven locations across India, primarily focused on selling and servicing BYD vehicles.

They are a crucial link in BYD’s strategy for success in India.
Financial results show a positive trend. Landmark Cars reported a significant increase in net sales—33.5% to Rs 1,210.92 crore—and a substantial profit increase—from a loss to a profit of Rs 1.19 crore in Q2 FY26. These figures demonstrate the growing financial strength of the partnership.
