Kia begins sales through CSD to Indian Armed Forces, Seltos deliveries commence
Kia India has registered with the Canteen Stores Department (CSD) to retail its range of passenger cars to the defence personnel, the company announced in a statement. The automaker currently offers the Kia Seltos through CSD stores and said it received over 100 bookings under the new channel. The Kia Seltos is the first car available through CSD while the Sonet and Carens will be available soon.
Kia began deliveries of the Seltos through CSD with the first car delivered to Major General Vikal Sahni by Myung-sik Sohn, Chief Sales & Business Officer, Kia India. Listing vehicles on CSD stores allows defence personnel to purchase cars at subsidised rates. Prices can see a minimum of 10-15 per cent reduction over the retail price of the vehicle due to a 50 per cent exemption in GST by the central government.
