Auto-tech platform CARS24 has announced the acquisition of Team-BHP, one of India’s most respected and independent online automotive communities. For over twenty years, Team-BHP has served as a trusted space for car and bike enthusiasts, offering honest reviews, detailed ownership stories, and discussions free from commercial bias.

Its long-standing principles—such as zero-sponsored content, strong community moderation, and a user-first approach—will remain unchanged.
