JITO Bulk Purchase Saves Rs 21 Crore on 186 Luxury Cars, Fuels 'Utsav' Expansion

The trade body says it aggregated member demand to secure steep discounts by eliminating marketing costs for carmakers.

Overview

  • According to JITO, members bought BMW, Audi and Mercedes models priced between Rs 60 lakh and Rs 1.3 crore, delivered across India from January to June.
  • The organisation reports total savings of Rs 21 crore, translating to roughly Rs 8–17 lakh per buyer through negotiated bulk discounts.
  • JITO describes itself as a not-for-profit facilitator with about 65,000 members and says it did not make money from the transactions.
  • JITO representatives say most buyers were based in Gujarat, reflecting concentrated demand within the community.
  • Building on the car deal, JITO has launched a new initiative called 'Utsav' to strike similar bulk arrangements in jewellery, consumer durables and electronics.
