FOTON opens latest Service Centre in Ja-Ela

Indra Traders (Pvt) Ltd, the sole agent for FOTON in Sri Lanka, has further strengthened its commitment to FOTON customers with the opening of its latest FOTON Service Centre in Ja-Ela The new facility brings dedicated FOTON servicing, repairs, diagnostics, genuine spare parts and technical support closer to a growing number of commercial vehicle operators.

For businesses that depend on their vehicles every day, vehicle downtime directly affects productivity and income. The Ja-Ela Service Centre is therefore designed with one clear objective — to help FOTON customers keep their vehicles on the road and their businesses moving.

FOTON’s presence in Sri Lanka has continued to expand, with Indra Traders currently supplying 114 FOTON Metro buses for the country’s public transport sector. As the number of FOTON vehicles operating across Sri Lanka increases, the need for reliable and accessible after-sales support becomes even more important.

The Ja-Ela Service Centre is part of Indra Traders’ ongoing investment in strengthening FOTON’s after-sales infrastructure, ensuring customers have access to professional technical support and genuine FOTON solutions when they need them.

The opening of the Ja-Ela Service Centre also marks another milestone in the long-standing partnership between Indra Traders and FOTON, which began in 2006.

Over nearly two decades, the partnership has evolved alongside the changing needs of Sri Lanka’s commercial vehicle market. From introducing FOTON vehicles to Sri Lankan operators to providing ongoing parts, servicing and technical support, Indra Traders has continued to build the infrastructure required to support the brand’s growing customer base.

With the addition of Ja-Ela, Indra Traders is further strengthening its ability to support FOTON customers not only when they purchase a vehicle, but throughout the vehicle’s operating life. The new Ja-Ela Service Centre reinforces Indra Traders’ commitment to ensuring FOTON customers receive dependable after-sales support, helping reduce unnecessary downtime and maintain vehicle performance.

Indra Traders (Pvt) Ltd Managing Director Rushanka Silva stated; ‘’Indra Traders entered into an agreement with Foton Motors of China in 2006. Nearly 20 years have passed since signing that agreement with Foton. We first introduced Foton vehicles to Sri Lanka in 2008. Although the agreement was signed in 2006, it took two years to introduce a vehicle because we spent that time studying the vehicles suited for the local market.”
