About UsEstablished in 1944, Premier was one of the first Indian companies to start making automobiles. In collaboration with Chrysler Corporation, USA, India’s first car rolled out of the Premier factory in 1947. In collaboration with Fiat SpA, Italy, Premier first started assembling the Fiat 500 in India. In 1954, came the Fiat 1100, one of the most popular models ever produced. Over the years, the Fiat car became increasingly Indian in content. Gradually, Premier trained a huge task force to do highly specialised jobs. And built up a strong technologies base, while increasing its capacity many-fold. Progressive indigenisation continues and in 1972, a virtually 100% indigenous car had finally arrived, manufactured by Premier under its own name. Apart from the most popular car in India, the Premier Padmini, Premier also manufactured the country’s widest range of commercial vehicles for a variety of road transport applications. |
