Fiat plans to open 20 exclusive dealerships in India by the end of 2012. The carmaker starts to rebuild its network after ending a distribution agreement with Tata Motors. The Italian carmaker announced the end of a six-year agreement with Tata recently, and opened its first Fiat-only showroom in Hyderabad. Fiat cars were previously sold in Tata showrooms. Fiat’s solo push comes after years of disappointing sales, in a country where foreign producers such as Ford, Honda and Nissan have recently acted to take more control of their own operations and such grand move of the automobile company will give an added advantage to the signage companies whose activities involve largely in in-store displays, signages, branding, fabrication and others related activities in the sector.
