In line with the nation-wide initiative of cracking down on the business of spurious auto parts, Greaves Cotton Ltd., one of India’s leading diesel auto engine manufacturers, recently raided shops in Pune. The company team unearthed more than 500 spurious auto parts such as cam shafts, valve sets, filters, bearings, etc.
The culprits who were based in Chinchwad and the Bhosari region were found selling inferior quality spareparts with fake Greaves Cotton packaging. The mastermind behind these operations have been arrested and put to remand for further investigation.
Commenting on this exercise, Mr. Sunil Pahilajani, Managing Director & CEO, said: “Manufacturing and sale of spurious products is a growing concern for the industry. Using original products ensures customer safety and reliable performance. These are the parameters each and every original Greaves product delivers. We will continue our fight against these spurious parts to ensure that our customers get 100% original Greaves parts across India. To protect our customers from fake and spurious spares, which can be life threatening, the company, along with Police officials, will continue its drive and will not let the culprits get away”.
