Sri Lanka’s most popular new energy vehicle (NEV) brand BYD, together with its authorised distributor in Sri Lanka John Keells CG Auto, announced the opening of its seventh showroom in Ratnapura, with plans to introduce a fully-fledged 3S (Sales, Service and Spare Parts) facility in the near future.
The brand’s latest expansion further strengthens BYD and JKCG Auto’s commitment to delivering the highest quality, sustainable mobility options for a fast-growing customer base across Sri Lanka.
The BYD Rathnapura facility, located on Main Road, Batugedara, was launched in partnership with N M I EV Solutions (Pvt.) Ltd and is now open to customers across the Sabaragamuwa province.
The integrated facility allows the customers to purchase their vehicle, schedule routine maintenance and source genuine vehicle parts all at one location.
The showroom will display BYD’s line-up of new energy and plug-in hybrid vehicles, including SHARK 6, SEALION 6, DOLPHIN, SEALION 5 and other models in the BYD range, while the service bay employs technicians trained specifically in NEV technology.
“Opening our seventh showroom in Ratnapura strengthens our islandwide network and brings us closer to customers in the Sabaragamuwa province,” said John Keells CG Auto CEO Charith Panditharatne.
“As we continue developing the NEV ecosystem across Sri Lanka, our goal is to ensure that sustainable mobility becomes a practical choice for Sri Lankans in every region. The service and spare parts facilities we plan to introduce here will further support that vision.”
N M I EV Solutions Chairman Indika Rajapaksha said, “Ratnapura sits at a crossroads that connects multiple provinces, making this location valuable not just for residents but for anyone travelling through the area. We’re here to make NEV ownership straightforward and reliable, with the technical expertise and parts availability that ensures customers and their vehicles receive the highest quality of service and after-sales care.”
