Changing the Way NEXA Shines with NEWMAT Stretch Ceilings

NEWMAT India helped MSIL Nexa elevate their showroom experience with improved backlighting, eliminating prior LED issues. Targeting a premium customer experience, Maruti Suzuki envisioned a
completely revamped design language for their NEXA showrooms. The team formulated a car delivery experience for the customers and left no stone unturned to elevate the grandeur at the delivery area.
The design consists of a delivery area with premium lacquered nished walls, adorned by a huge seamless 5m x 2.5m NEWMAT translucent stretch ceiling for a voluminous lighting experience.

When the initial Nexa showrooms were constructed in 2015, they raised the bar for the Indian automobile industry. Nexa offered plush interiors, exceptional lighting, and a customer experience the Indian market wasn’t expecting. This success was largely due to the aesthetic aspect of the design, which was new to the target audience and shattered the general perception of MSIL as an entry-level car manufacturer.


To maintain these high standards, MSIL implemented regular and strict audits. They developed a network of capable vendors to ensure any maintenance needs could be met for their showrooms across the country. With a vast network of professionally trained installers across India, NEWMAT India was uniquely positioned to take on the task of supplying and installing the stretch ceiling systems for these showrooms.

Multiple LED strip failures causing uneven lighting and visible black lines in the ceiling design.

While NEWMAT’s translucent stretch ceilings initially provided MSIL Nexa showrooms with a stunning visual experience, we encountered some challenges with early LED strip technology a few years ago. Some showrooms experienced black patches or lines due to LED failure. We swiftly addressed this by servicing over 110 showrooms within 60 days back in 2018.

Repaired and restored by NEWMAT, looking as good as new with flawless lighting.

Learning from this, we partnered with industry-leading lighting experts to develop a more robust solution using long-life LED modules. This new standard was implemented across all new Nexa showrooms starting in 2018.


Today, with over 550 Nexa showrooms across India, our condence in this enhanced system is so strong that we offer a 5-year warranty with free maintenance on all NEWMAT stretch ceiling LEDs. This commitment to quality and ongoing support ensures that Nexa showrooms continue to provide a premium customer experience for years to come.
