As an add-on facility, Rest rooms for travel fatigued truck drivers and cleaners are also provided. The company plans to have a PAN India network of 50 such Automall strategically located on important highways of the country. Here’s an excerpt from the official press release:
"The Automall is a one stop which facilitates the buying and selling of used commercial vehicle and will also assist registration of an Individual buyer's requirement. Road transport is the lifeline of India's growing economy. Automall will benefit truckers by promptly replacing their vehicles, leading to modernization of the country's trucking fleet.

Would love to see the business feasibility report done on this venture. Most trucks are bought to achieve break even, profitability and are then run into the ground. Should be interesting to know how big is the market for sale/purchase of second hand trucks.
