Cerita Motors - JCBL Ltd that manufactures bus bodies here for Swaraj Mazda and other manufacturers is set to launch luxury buses by next month using Chinese chassis with rear engines in the domestic market. It has entered into a tie-up with Chinese manufacturer King Long, and is awaiting clearance from the Automobile Research Association of India (AARI), Pune, to launch the buses. Mr Rishi Aggarwal, Director, JCBL Ltd, said the company started with a capital investment of Rs 4 crore in early 90s, and had registered an annual turnover of Rs 48 crore last year. It had emerged as a market leader in the organised sector in the manufacture of bus bodies and cargo boxes. It manufactured 1500 buses every year. King Long is rated as the biggest Asian bus manufacturer with an annual supply of over 10,000 buses. He said these buses would have more power, greater comfort and quieter operation. The buses would be priced at a much lower price than other imported buses and their Indian counterparts. Mr Aggarwal said the domestic market was of around 20,000 buses, and was growing at a rate of over 20 per cent. However, it was unfortunate that so far Indian manufacturers had been producing the same chassis for trucks and buses. The new buses would be manufactured keeping in view the Indian road conditions.
