Advocating with Policy Makers

FADA’s success lies with its powerful grassroots lobbying efforts, which are most effective when State Chapters meet with their Members of Legislative Assembly and Parliament to advocate on behalf of all dealers and their customers. This team effort strengthens FADA’s ability to advocate on behalf of dealerships and target engagement to dealer-specific issues.

In recent years, FADA successfully brought relief to its entire Dealer Fraternity when the sudden lockdown hurt sales and registrations of BS-4 vehicles and at a time when BS-6 transition was knocking the door. No one else but FADA could get a favourable order from Hon’ble Supreme Court thus saving Dealers 1,000’s of Crores worth of BS-4 Vehicles which would otherwise become scrap.

FADA with its various State Chapters has also been successful in implementing Faceless, Paperless and Dealer Point vehicle registration.

FADA has also brought Dealers under the ambit of MSME.

FADA has started releasing Auto Retail Registration figures thus brining down inventory levels and helping Dealerships in managing their finance better.

Advocacy with OEMs

FADA is the dealer’s best advocate in dealer-manufacturer relations, addressing concerns with manufacturers. FADA has now started Annual Dealer Satisfaction Study to discuss the positives and negatives of manufacturer performance and initiatives, including incentive programs.

FADA also hosts Events that focus on the latest issues affecting dealers and manufacturers and the industry at large. FADA also partners with International Dealer Associations to stay up to date on trends in Auto Retailing.
