DC is said to infuse an investment of close to Rs 10 crore in the new assembly unit where the DC Avanti will be built and rolled off the assembly line. 

The DC Avanti, which is on lines with the Lamborghini Aventador and Murcielago is being currently developed in limited numbers at the company's Pune facility. The company plans to begin deliveries of the indigenous supercar by the end of 2013. 

"We have 22 products and we already have six centers in India and we want to set up 16 new showrooms in near future across the country. We are going ahead with franchisee model for showroom. Ahmedabad showroom is expected to register sale of around 40 cars per month. All these showrooms will also sell India's first super car DC Avanti too," Dilip Chhabria said. He added that the assembly unit will be spread across around 60,000 square feet.
