This isn't a small showroom tucked away on a side street either. The facility spans 100,000 sq. ft. and sits right on National Highway 16, giving it direct visibility and easy access for trucks moving through one of eastern India's busiest logistics zones.
Where The New Facility Is Located
Positioned to serve Howrah, East Medinipur and West Medinipur, the dealership is well placed to catch freight traffic from Ranihati, Dhulagarh, Sankrail, Haldia and Kharagpur — all significant industrial and port-linked areas where heavy trucks are a daily fixture rather than an occasional sight.
Owners of models like the BharatBenz 2823R running these routes now have a dedicated service point without needing to travel far outside the industrial belt for support.
What The 3S Setup Offers
The facility houses 16 bays in total — 12 dedicated to regular service work and four set aside specifically for accident repairs. That split matters for fleet operators, since routine maintenance and collision repair often compete for the same bay space at smaller dealerships, slowing down turnaround times.
On top of that, three Mobile Reach Vans are stationed here for roadside assistance, backed by a team of 50 trained personnel capable of servicing more than 500 commercial vehicles a month. For operators running lighter trucks such as the BharatBenz 1215RE, that kind of monthly service capacity means shorter wait times even during peak demand periods.

DICV Leadership On The Expansion
Rajiv Chaturvedi, President and Chief Business Officer at Daimler India Commercial Vehicles, said the new dealership strengthens the company's ability to deliver faster service, higher uptime and reliable support across one of eastern India's key logistics corridors. He added that bringing services closer to customers directly improves the BharatBenz ownership experience.
That focus on uptime lines up with a broader manufacturing push too — DICV recently committed to a significant investment in Tamil Nadu, expanding BharatBenz's manufacturing and R&D capabilities, which suggests this dealership expansion is part of a wider strategy rather than an isolated regional move.

Network expansion like this tends to matter more than it gets credit for. A truck sitting idle waiting for parts or service costs an operator real money every single day, so cutting down travel distance to a proper 3S facility directly affects a fleet's bottom line, not just convenience.
