Late Mr. Manharlal Rupani
Founder
Founded Rupani Automobiles in 1987 with a vision of building a trusted automotive distribution business rooted in reliability and long-term relationships.
About us
Automotive distribution since 1987.
Rupani Automobiles Pvt Ltd is a Nagpur-based multi-brand distributor of two-wheeler spare parts, now in its third generation of family leadership — and now exporting.
01 — The company
A distribution business, built brand by brand.
Rupani Automobiles was established in 1987 by Late Mr. Manharlal Rupani, beginning in the four and six wheeler sector with a single brand. Over 39 years, the portfolio was built deliberately — Waxpol in 1999, Uno Minda, Spark Minda and Varroc in 2007, Endurance and Osram in 2011, and steadily onward.
Today the company represents 34 leading brands, serves over 1,800 customers in the two-wheeler sector — a network built counter by counter over nearly four decades.
That distribution business is also the foundation of our export operation: the same manufacturer relationships, brand access and inventory discipline now serve importers overseas.

How the business runs.
Distribution at this volume is a logistics discipline before it is a commercial one.
Same-day dispatch
A system-oriented approach to order processing, with same-day dispatch and swift delivery within Nagpur City.
Meticulous inventory management
Inventory is managed deliberately across a 34-brand portfolio, so availability is known before a commitment is made.
Field sales coverage
A dedicated sales team of 10 is on the road every day, giving direct visibility of demand at counter level.
Supplier relationships built over decades
Brand relationships established from 1987 onward underpin sourcing accuracy and authenticity.
