In a significant development for the regional business community, Rajendra Vashisht, the founder, chairman and managing director of Devbhumi Group Companies, has been selected as the president of the Federation of Automobile Dealers Associations for Himachal Pradesh. This vital responsibility has been entrusted to him for the 2026-28 term, validating his extensive experience, strong leadership and successful entrepreneurial journey within the regional automotive sector.
Business Expansion and Major Dealerships
Under the leadership of Rajendra Vashisht, Devbhumi Group Companies has established a reliable footprint in the vehicle retail sector. Entering the industry in the year 2011, the group steadily expanded its business network to emerge as a prominent automotive dealer group in the state. At present, the group serves as the authorized dealer for Hyundai cars across Mandi, Kullu, Bilaspur and Shimla districts. Modern showrooms and workshops operate in these regions, offering vehicle sales alongside robust after-sales services to thousands of consumers. Furthermore, the exclusive dealership for Skoda Auto India across the entirety of Himachal Pradesh rests with the group, featuring advanced showrooms running in Mandi and Solan.
Venture into Punjab and Employment Generation
The business footprint of Devbhumi Group has now crossed the borders of Himachal Pradesh. The enterprise has made a strong entry into the vehicle dealership market of neighboring Punjab, securing the complete Ropar district dealership for Tata Motors. This makes the entity the first and foremost commercial house from Himachal to expand operations into the Punjab automotive sector. Beyond vehicle sales, the group provides direct and indirect employment to more than one thousand people, generating fresh local job opportunities through its widespread network of showrooms and workshops.
Diversification and New Responsibilities at FADA
Alongside the automotive sector, Devbhumi Group Companies has marked its presence in the hotel industry, cinema, green energy and other domains. This ongoing growth reflects the visionary outlook and large-scale ambitions of its founder. Now, in his capacity as the Himachal Pradesh state president of FADA, Rajendra Vashisht faces the fresh responsibility of advancing the interests of vehicle dealers. He will play a crucial role in effectively presenting the concerns of regional dealers on a national platform while addressing industry challenges and retail sector issues.
