Nissan India is looking at revamping its car distribution network in the country. Once the investment comes through Hover will become a national sales company for Nissan Motor India
Nissan, which operates through a wholly-owned local subsidiary, Nissan Motor India (NMIPL), is looking at revamping its car distribution network in the country. Once the investment comes through Hover will become a national sales company for Nissan Motor India.
Senior Hover executive are in Japan to discuss the modalities of the agreement. "The structure of the deal is close to finalisation. The broad contours will lead to a different nomenclature of Hover, changing its functioning and management without altering the current marketing, dealership chain and sale of cars," said a person close to the development with access to the final plans.
Hover could be valued in excess of $100 million, people close to the development say. Jointly owned by Mumbai-based G M Singh (a former dealer for Honda in Maharashtra), non-resident Indians Moez Mangalji of the Westmont Hospitality Group and Kevin Whalen (an American with decades of experience in dealerships), Hover manages over 60 dealerships across India.
Nissan will be the fourth joint venture partner in Hover, and will bring in fresh capital. Since Nissan is likely to pick up a minority stake, it is expected to have one or two representatives on the board of Hover to mutually plan future strategies.
