Over a period of time, Landmark has built a solid reputation as a preferred choice of partner for OEMs. This transaction demonstrates Honda's continued trust in Landmark.
I am very excited about Landmark's entry into the state of Rajasthan. Over the years, Landmark has profitably scaled its operations with Honda to become the largest Honda dealer in India.
