Ford India coercing dealers to sign non-disclosure agreement: Fada

Urges govt to set up task force to monitor compensation structure being worked out by Ford India for its dealer partners across the country

Automobile dealers' apex body, FADA (Federation of Automobile Dealers' Association) in a letter to the minister of heavy industries, Mahendra Nath Pandey has alleged that Ford India has made “coercive efforts” to get their channel partners to sign an non disclosure agreement (NDA) with an imposition of “unreasonably tight timelines, under economic duress.”

It has urged the government to formulate a task force to monitor the compensation structure being worked out by Ford India for its dealer partners across the country. The management of the local arm of the US automaker is currently in discussions with its dealer principals.
